Dear Brothers and Sisters,
There is a quiet danger that threatens every marriage—not loud or obvious, but subtle and slow. It is called distraction. It doesn’t arrive like a storm; it creeps in like a fog, dimming our vision, shifting our focus, and gradually moving us away from the One who holds our marriage together.
In Sunday’s message, we were reminded of the Apostle John’s warning in 1 John 2:15–17 (NLT): “Do not love this world nor the things it offers you…” These worldly things—success, possessions, busyness, constant entertainment—promise happiness, but they deliver weariness and spiritual drift.
How easy it is for couples to lose sight of God while chasing after temporary comforts. Even good things—careers, hobbies, and routines—can quietly edge out prayer, devotion, and worship. And before we know it, the Lord who once stood at the center of the marriage is now merely invited in on occasion.
But there is hope. The drift can be reversed. When a husband and wife intentionally refocus on Christ—by praying together, reprioritizing their time, and cutting out distractions—they will rediscover the joy of being centered in Him.
Let me lovingly encourage you: examine your home. Are there distractions that are robbing your marriage of peace and intimacy? If so, lay them down at the feet of Jesus. Clear the fog and let the Son shine brightly once more in your hearts.
With heartfelt sincerity,
Brother Jesse
