Rejoice in the Gospel

In the words of Pastor Lance Ralston: "Many Christians today are concerned when they discover the pagan origins of some of their annual holidays; Valentine's Day comes to mind today. Yet, turn these days to communicate the goodness and grace of God. Today’s days of "too much masculinity" and the "me too movement" a true Biblical view of love is desperately needed. It is a perfect time to cherish the beauty and power of romantic love — realized most perfectly in the Gospel of Jesus Christ."

Genesis 2:21-23 "And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman and He brought her to the man." This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of man."

Proverbs 5: 18 “Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice with the wife of your youth."

Proverbs 18: 22 He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the Lord."

God designed love and marriage and sanctified it, and only within this solemn and covenant relationship can we find real love and fulfillment. Do not let God's best for us be thrown away with the lies of greener pastures somewhere else.

Rejoice in the Lord and rejoice in the Gospel.

Many blessings,

David
