The Foundation of Fellowship

Monday Devotional

“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.”

1 John 1:7

An actress who once had one of the most popular shows on cable television wrote a sex manual with her husband, praising him as an “artist” and liberally sharing the delight the two of them experienced in the bed.

Barely a year after the book came out, the actress announced that she and her husband had separated.  Later, the two divorced.

Couples won’t save their marriages by becoming athletes in bed.  They won’t stave of divorce by increasing their income.  They won’t find that having children will reinvigorate a dead marriage.  All these efforts have been tried and found wanting because most frustrated marriages lack what the Bible calls fellowship.
