Marriage and Family Life Genesis 2:18 Matthew 5:8 Matthew 12:33-34 Hebrews 3:12-13 Hebrews 12:14-15 The Church of Pentecost believes in the sanctity of marriage as an ordained institution by God. It is an exclusive preserve between a husband (who is a biologically born male) and the wife (who is a biologically born female). The Church honors family life and acknowledges it as the starting point of the church’s structure where training in righteousness and discipline begins. Bitterness is sometimes not seen on the faces of people. You are the Bride of Christ.Make every effort to keep your garment clean always.
