New Open ended contract with no resignation clause?
Such covenants are a new concept for me. I've heard of tithes but I thought churches didn't uses formal contracts.
Matthew Greet


Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?
- Mark Renton, Trainspotting.

New It is a fringe thing that is spreading
Until recently covenant churches, and the related covenant marriages, was a fringe thing. But it seems to be both spreading and people are getting more serious about enforcing the covenant.

I really have no idea of the history of covenants in the church. And it's hard to see casually because there are a lot of churches that use the word covenant in something other then the litteral contract sense. But from what I have read until the 90's it was something that turned up only in small cult churches lead by a single radical preacher.

Now however it seems to have turned into a movement of sorts. Covenant marriage in particular has gone much further, to the point of being legally recognized in some states.
