As usual, SonShine developed study questions for this week’s Explore the Bible lesson, which comes from Malachi 2. To Live Honorably, we must be covenant keepers just as the Lord is a covenant keeper.
What is the impact of breaking, or “not keeping” our agreements (covenants)? You can site statistics on divorce rates, spousal abuse, or speak anecdotally about the impact on our Christian witness.
Another graphic way of illustrating how devastating breaking an agreement can be is to present a disaster such as the Frank Slide. People working in and around the Frank mountain operated with an understanding that it would keep its "agreement" to stand tall. When “that agreement” was broken, the mountain fell, and 70 people lost their lives. That’s the way it is when we break our agreements. The results are devastating.

Ronnie - Thanks so much for your site and the work you put into it. I came across it about six weeks ago and find it very helpful! I've taught adults on and off for twenty-plus years and am always looking for something new. Just want you to know that your work is beneficial.
One question - you reference "Sonshine" with regard to the study questions. What/where specifically is that?
