The human society has suffered agitation and confusion right from its building blocks. Marriage and the family, and thus society, is in a constant state of turmoil, disagreement and confusion. But there is the need to secure knowledge and justification that will provide a steady state of quietness, agreement and peace. This book is an attempt at providing this knowledge and justification.The Authors met at university and fell in love. But they were kept in a state of confusion, not knowing whether to choose love or reject intermarriage. The Authors eventually chose love and were intermarried according to the Christian faith. Does God forbid intermarriage? Have the authors married in error?Whether you answer YES or NO, if you dare to go through this book you will be imbued with the knowledge and ability to redefine or consolidate your views about society, love, religious bigotry, fanaticism, racial discrimination, cultural differences, intermarriages, marriage failures, globalization, and world peace.

Quick, before you make another move, pastor, read this Journal!If you're thinking of leaving your church for another, start with Michael Lawrence's article on leaving wisely. In fact, look at Matt Schmucker's even before you think about leaving. Have you looked yet? Okay, what about now? I've seen enough pastors come and go to know that Lawrence and Schmucker just might shift your paradigm.Or maybe the process of searching has begun. Mark De-ver, Bobby Jamieson, Walter Price, and Dennis Newkirk will help you to avoid common mis-takes and pursue the next pastor wisely.Then again, maybe you should not make a move at all. Jeramie Rinne and Mark Dever will tell you why. Pastor Rinne, in fact, would rather see you dead right where you are. What a pastor!

Genocide. Terrorism. Hate crimes. In a world where racism is far from dead, is unity amidst diversities even remotely possible? Sharing from his own experiences growing up in the segregated South, pastor John Piper thoughtfully exposes the unremitting problem of racism. Instead of turning finally to organizations, education, famous personalities, or government programs to address racial strife, Piper reveals the definitive source of hope -- teaching how the good news about Jesus Christ actively undermines the sins that feed racial strife, and leads to a many-colored and many-cultured kingdom of God. Learn to pursue ethnic harmony from a biblical perspective, and to relate to real people different from yourself, as you take part in the bloodline of Jesus that is comprised of "every tongue, tribe, and nation."--Publisher.
