Marriage
is God's most perfect design. After all, He established it before the fall of man. But, it doesn't take much to see how much sin has affected this special relationship. In fact, once sin entered the world, God Himself has declared a curse to fall on marriage! This is shocking but true. All believers should study this divine curse (see below) but also confirm God's grace and hope that came through His Son, Jesus. This page outlines the curse and all the sinful ways we break down the relationship but also presents God gracious plan for overcoming the sin and finding hope.

These topics can be presented in the following contexts: workshops, consulting, men's events, women's events, counseling sessions, and the Titus 2 Institute.

Pastor Tae has a wealth of knowledge and experience combined with a passion and fear for the infinite wisdom of the knowledge of God found in the Scriptures. You will gain insights for living that will empower you to live life the way it was meant to be lived! Don't pass these pearls of wisdom by! Pastor Ray Causly, Compton, CA

I have gained great nuggets of truth from Pastor Tae that have strengthened our marriage and family. He is witty, sensitive and wise in his application of these truths from God's Word that are timeless. You must do all you can to drink from the well of the Word that comes through this servant of God. Ruth Causly, photo coming

Pastor Tae Shin is a tremendously gifted orator. But more importantly, his words are anchored on solid ground, centered in the Word without deviation. He has the rare ability to teach the Word with a deep passion, making it very difficult to lose focus and attention while listening to him.  I am reminded of a recent marriage seminar at our church where he was invited to be the main speaker.  His presentation was one of the best I’ve ever heard on the topic. His teaching style is simple and conducive to easy listening, and yet extremely effective as the concepts he taught me are still fresh in my mind after many months have passed.
Elder / Dr. Andrew Song & Family, Rowland Heights, CA
