I and my sons and my kin  will keep to the covenant of our fathers

“Although all the Gentiles in the king’s realm obey him, so that each forsakes the religion of his fathers and consents to the king’s orders, yet I and my sons and my kin will keep to the covenant of our fathers. God forbid that we should forsake the law and the commandments. We will not obey the words of the king nor depart from our religion in the slightest degree.” (1 MC 2: 19-22)

When we joined Love and Life Programs, we made a decision to follow, not our plans for marriage, but God’s will, His plan. Even though “all the Gentiles in the king’s realm obey” different visions for marriage, we “will keep to the covenant of our fathers.” As witnesses, we can inspire many and change this world.
