Looking Forward....

A busy weekend ahead....

A Wedding.....

Suzanne Covert to David Somers, two members of our church who love the Lord and will covenant together on Saturday.

It always reminds me of our wedding day and causes me to rejoice in God's goodness and mercy to me in giving me a good man.

"The most ultimate thing we can say about marriage is that it exists for God’s glory. That is, it exists to display God....Marriage is patterned after Christ’s covenant relationship to the church. And therefore the highest meaning and the most ultimate purpose of marriage is to put the covenant relationship of Christ and his church on display. That is why marriage exists. If you are married, that is why you are married.

Christ Will Never Leave His Wife

Staying married, therefore, is not about staying in love. It is about keeping covenant. “Till death do us part,” or, “As long as we both shall live” is sacred covenant promise—the same kind Jesus made with his bride when he died for her. Christ will never leave his wife. Ever. There may be times of painful distance and tragic backsliding on our part. But Christ keeps his covenant forever. Marriage is a display of that! That is the most ultimate thing we can say about it. "

- John Piper

May God have all the glory in our marriages.
