Dear KKIM/KARS Family,
May we all be about our Father’s Business this day and all days……..
Men: Change your life, not your wife!
Please pull out your Bibles this morning……
So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Genesis 1:27
God joined a man and a women together so that together they would mirror His image.
He called this union of marriage.
Their oneness reflects the character and unity of God. (Matt 19:4-6; John 17: 22-23)
Their oneness is a living picture of this intimate relationship between Jesus Christ and His followers (Ephesians 5:22-33
Our prayers go out to State Rep Nora Espinoza’s family, her father passed away yesterday. Please keep the family in your prayers and Nora specifically has asked for prayers for her Mom during this time.
Nora and others are working hard on her marriage bill, to make it a constitutional amendment here in New Mexico that marriage is between a man and women. If her bill passes it would allow New Mexicans to vote on this issue.
Today we have a Marriage CUP for you as Valentines Day fast approaches as do The Weekend To Remember Marriage Conference and other Marriage events.
The Weekend To remember Marriage Conference is fast approaching here in New Mexico. Feb 11-13, go to www.mykkim.com and get registered today! KKIM/KARS will be there! I still have my work book from the conference, in fact I carry it around like my Bible, it is in fact kind’a like my Bible for Marriage. Sharon and I got so much out of the Weekend To Remember when we attended two years ago. I would encourage you to go, it is for everyone, from people thinking about getting married to people who have been married 60 years! I am not kidding, every year that I have gone there is always couples that are there that have been married 40 years and more! Couples come year after year, because they say it makes their marriages stronger in the Lord. People have come to the conference with their divorce papers! NO KIDDING! They are looking for that last shot at saving their marriage. Some take care of their car better than their marriage! Please, you even change the oil in your car, you also need to maintain your marriage! Take the time, you will be blessed like Sharon and I. This conference is not just for marriages that are struggling, it is for marriages that need a tune up, a spark, refreshing, time together…….
Susan sent me an email yesterday full of information…………….and she also connected me with Pastor Robert Hall, a man that I have heard so many Godly things about….Pastor Hall will be on with me Lord Willing next Wed at 3:30 and 4:30 on KKIM/KARS……..Let’s turn this over to Susan and Pastor Hall………
This is some information my pastor has sent to me and it may be something you may want to let everyone know about. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

I need some help. I have started a Facebook page called “For This Reason” to promote and celebrate Biblical traditional marriage in NM especially among the young people. Can you all go to this site and post your wedding pictures and a current couple picture with a comment on how long you’ve been married??

I also intend to promote marriage events at various churches, the Marriage March in SF on Feb 14th (still working on the details) and just a general celebration of marriages! Please help me out even if you do not use Facebook!! If you are on Facebook please get the word ouot about this site to all your friends.

Dewey,
I can come to the studio next Wed if you would like. Here the copy of the announcement about the event and new website I just sent out today.
Pastors,
We wanted to let you know that some of us are planning a March for Marriage in Santa Fe on Monday, Feb 14th, VALENTINE’S DAY! The time will be 10:00 AM-12:00 noon. We will be parking in the Convention Center Garage (special rate $4 for the event) and gathering at the Convention Center Patio (by the fish, 201 W. Marcy St. Santa Fe, NM 87504-0909) in downtown Santa Fe for prayer for traditional marriage, in groups led by pastors. And then at 10:45 AM we will walk to the Capitol.
This “march” is open to anyone from your congregations who wish to participate, married couples preferred as a witness to onlookers, but hopefully led by the pastors. All in NM who support traditional biblical marriage and are willing to pray with us and accept our leadership for the event are welcome. We will have police escort for the “march.” Warn everyone: please do not bring flyers or any material to distribute with another agenda. Our focused purpose is to pray and make a public statement in support of marriage as God has defined it!
We will need signs (since that is how people will know what we are gathered for) and, given the short amount of time, I am going to ask that each couple (singles also welcomed) participating to make their own signs. Some possible suggestions are: “Marriage is a gift from God – we’ve been married_____ years” ; “God’s design for marriage is one man and one woman” – “We’ve been married____ years”; “Marriage between one man and one woman for life is God’s design” ; Marriage; One Man, One Woman – Happy Valentine’s Day”; “A pastor and his wife for traditional marriage” (One couple told me it’s their anniversary and they’re going to put that on the sign!!) Please, no negative signs or signs attacking other positions on marriage. We will not allow unapproved signs to be carried.
I have spoken with Senator Bill Sharer, Senator Mark Boitano, and Rep Nora Espinoza who support and are sponsoring the marriage protection bills, and we will be working with them to possibly have a short rally on the steps or in the Roundhouse when we arrive. I am meeting with the City of SF this coming Tuesday to get the arrangements finalized. Note: No signs can be taken into the Roundhouse – so we will have to leave them outside and collect them as we leave if the rally moves inside.
In addition, we are attempting to put together a Valentine’s lunch for pastor’s and their wives in Santa Fe following the event. Pastor Ray Jaramillo (Calvary Chapel Rio Grande Valley) is taking the lead on that – more information to follow.

Ephesians 5:31-32
“For this reason a man will leave his father and mother
and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”
This is a profound mystery– but I am talking about Christ and the church.
