Produktbeschreibung

At the foundation of society, marriage stands alone as the cornerstone upon which we rise or fall. In recent decades, we've suffered the consequences of devaluing this most fundamental institution. As we have grown to see marriage as, at best, a tradition or, at worst, an old fashioned and inconvenient notion, the world around us has felt the ripples of destruction eating away at all that supports the world in which we live. When we pause long enough to consider the importance of marriage, we're left with a seemingly perplexing dilemma. We vaguely recognize that a healthy marriage is to be desired, and perhaps even, pursued, but we quickly realize that conventional wisdom is completely lacking in any effective guidance for those whose quest is a sound marital relationship. Sadly, it seems to never enter our minds to consult the One who created the institution.
In the Book of Genesis, God's Word describes the extreme care by which God created marriage. It was no random joining of opposites, and it was no merging of compatible individuals. Instead, the Omnipotent Creator demonstrated His infinite attention to detail as He intentionally constructed a relationship that would mirror the relationship that Jesus would have with His Church. The Heavenly Father designed a relationship that would serve as the foundation for the world He has just spoken into existence. As the key institution in His creation, He certainly would not leave marriage as a loosely defined agreement between parties. Instead, He recorded the plan for marriage clearly in His Word. It is God's design for marriage.
When we look at marriage and begin to see what it can be and what it is intended to be, we can see that a stable husband and wife relationship is obtainable. It is within reach, and the Father beckons us to pursue this most intimate of all blessings. He promises to sustain us and guide us as we pursue His plan for our union.
In the chapters that follow, we won't contemplate the collective wisdom of contemporary relationship experts. We won't examine statistics, explore opinions or relive the anecdotes from other couples. Our journey together will focus on the only reliable source of guidance-God's Word. We will seek to understand how our Father intended us to enjoy this relationship, Marriage by Design.

Autorenporträt

As a student of God's Word, my teaching seeks to share the insights that Holy Spirit has illuminated during my study of the Bible. My hope is that you will find the teaching easy to understand and that it will provide you with practical truth that you can apply to your life so that your relationship with our God will grow deeper. More than anything, though, it is my hope that you will find that the teaching is faithful to God's Word and that it accurately reflects His Truth. You can be sure that any error that you may find in these lessons are the product of this teacher rather than the inerrant Scripture that I hope to explain in my teaching. With that in mind, you should always take the approach that is attributed to the Bereans in Acts 17:11, where it says, "they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so". If you find the content of these lessons to be inconsistent with God's Word, I pray that the Holy Spirit will make that clear and guide you to walk in the Truth. If, however, you find that the lessons do, indeed, align with the Scripture, I pray that you will allow the Holy Spirit to guide you in applying the truth of these lessons to deepen your walk with Christ and help you to influence the world for Him.
