Manipulation. It occurs quite a bit in marriages, and it’s a sure sign of a declining marriage. You see it in the spouse that wants to move, or buy a new piece of furniture, or go on the vacation of their dreams. Doing something wrong to get what I want is poisonous to the relationship. Today on Focal Point we continue our series “The Old Testament School of Marriage,” and take a look today at a marriage centered around manipulation. Isaac and Rebekah are not a lot unlike many people today, and that’s why we’d do well to take a peek at where they went wrong.
Did Paul ever reach Spain? Was Peter really crucified upside down? What became of Mary after Jesus' ascension? The Book of Acts ends at chapter 28, but their stories didn't.
If you have ever wondered what the answers to these questions and more about the Apostles, then this excellently researched book is for you to explore the lives and legends of the Apostles.
