‘The Lord No Longer Looked Favourably On Their Offerings!
Malachi 2:13-16.
a) Malachi 2:13. The Lord’s People were crying out with their tears on the Lord’s Altar – but it was all to no avail.

Chris.
The breaking of the Marriage Covenant is something that is taking part today frequently, even in the Churches. When this happens amongst True Believers it means that God has taken a secondary part in their lives. It is much easier to break the Covenant in human thinking, than to resolve the problems. However this is not God’s Way.
