Sweet 16
Today I celebrate the goodness of God in granting me 16 years of marriage with Michele. What an amazing gift of His love she has been to me through thick and thin.
Love is in the Air
On this Valentine's Day, I would like to recite some lines from an ancient love poem to the love of my life, my wife:
An Undefiled Marriage Bed
"Let marriage be held in high honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous" (Hebrews 13:4).
Marriage Haters Club
"Then the Lord God said, 'It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make a helper that corresponds to him' " (Gen 2:18).
The Makings of a Man
Most of the dating discussion thus far has focused on Daddy's and Daughters. There is both a practical and theological reason for this emphasis.
Dating A Better Way
By now it should be obvious I believe Christians need to shun anything remotely resembling what our culture calls "dating." We need to shun it ourselves. We need to raise our sons and daughters to shun it.
Dating and Dads
Fatherlessness is killing the very soul of our nation; for it is destroying our homes. Beyond this, fatherlessness (defined as the physical absence of a Dad in a home/family, or the functional absence of a Dad in a home/ family) is setting the next generation of homes up for failure. It exists as a generational curse if ever there was one.
The Kiss of Death
"Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth! For your love is better than wine" (Song of Songs 1:2).
Dating & Depravity
"The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually" (Genesis 6:5).
Practicing for Divorce
In his book Family-Driven Faith, Voddie Baucham makes an assertion that the way Americans have done dating for many generations now is nothing more than practice for divorce.
