Friends,
What another glorious day to be in God’s house today! We were blessed to have 3 of our young people baptized during the service. Taking a cue from the meaning of baptism, I challenged us to rethink how we approach our marriages.
Just as in baptism we are to die to self and live for Christ, in marriage we should die to self in order to live for the “one flesh” that we become when we are married. In addition, where Christ says that “what God has joined together, let no one separate”, I believe this is not simply a reference to divorce, but that anytime we reject or neglect our spouse we are acting in a way that separates us from that which God has joined together. I pray this message will bless you and your relationships.
