Bythe early1920s,facingruinfromaseries offloods,Huntmovedtonearby ElDorado(about90mileseastofTexarkana),whichwasinthemidstofan oilboomthatwasproducingincrediblefortunesandbringinginswarmsof prospectors.
Whilehehadsevenchildrenwithwife LydaBunkerofLakeVillage,hewas notadevotedfamilyman. Hecarried ontorridaffairswithatleasttwoother women,havingeight knownchildren withhismistresses.

Embracingthesacred institutionofmarriage
Manywilldisagree,buta happyandsuccessfulmarriageisbased onapersonal relationship withChrist. Andwhyis this?Thereare manyreasons, butwecan beginwiththe charactertraits andattitudesofatruefollowerofJesus iswhattakesmarriagetothehighest levelofjoy,emotionalwell-being,and contentment.Thosecommittedto Christaremodelspouse’sandparents. Intoday’ssociety,peopleusetheterm “Christian”loosely,andit’satthepoint whereIusethislabelmorecautious thanever.Ifyouaskpeopleiftheyare aChristian,youwillreceiveawide rangeofresponsesandsomethatare withoutapersonalconnectiontoGod atall.
It’seasytogoalongwiththemasses whenitcomestoseekingapproval. Thedangeristhatsomewhoclaimto beaChristianhavefakeditforsolong, theguiltyfeelingsofbeingaphony doesn’tbotherthemanymore.Backin theeightiesIrecordedanalbumcalled, “It’snotagame”andyetthecarnal mindissocleverandmanipulating, playingthe“game”unfortunatelycan becomeanormalwayoflife.BecomingnumbtotheHolySpirt’sconvictionandthepresenceofGodisrebellion,andadistractiontacticusedby thedarksidetolureindividualsaway fromspiritualreality.Evenbetween husbandsandwives,goingthroughthe motionsiserodingtheveryintegrityof trustandhonestywithinthissacred unionthatissymbolizedastheholy brideofChrist.
Theworldisexplodingwithmarriage andfamilyproblemsandeventhough wehaveunlimitedknowledgeand Biblicalresourcesatourfingertips,the questionishowmuchunderstandingis beingabsorbed?Evenmoreimportant, howmotivatedanddeterminedarewe todemonstratespiritualtruthintoour dailylives?Disregardingtheholy vowsofmarriagealongwithignoring God’sdemandsandpromisesleaves thenuclearfamilyvulnerabletocorruption,andyetitseemstheaverage momanddadfailtorealizewhatthis meansorhavingasenseofurgencyto protectit.Whenparentsrefusetoembracethetruthaboutspiritualwarfare andthedesperateneedtopray,that
