Thank you, Gary North.
One of the benefits reaped by the impact of the theonomist movement is a renewal of the serious study of the Old Testament law. As a consequence of the pervasive spirit of antinomianism that has infected contemporary evangelicalism, the law of God has been treated with woeful neglect. Ligonier. “This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church.
However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband” (Eph. 5:32–33). - Ephesians 5:22-33 Godly marriages are a beautiful thing to behold, and they point to something far greater than the bond between husband and wife. As Paul tells us in today’s passage, the intimacy and mutual self-giving love of married life wonderfully symbolizes and points to the relationship between Christ and His church. Much can be said about this text on the husband’s love for his wife and the wife’s submission to her husband. The analogy between marriage and Christ’s relation to His church has limitations, for no husband in this fallen world loves his wife perfectly, and no wife submits as she ought in every circumstance. Ligonier.
My husband and I recently celebrated our second wedding anniversary.
In the five years that I have known him we have learned, and will continue to learn, a great deal about love. My husband takes the meaning of love so seriously that he waited until the day he proposed to profess his love to me. Ligonier. The sanctity of marriage is being threatened, and all people likely suspect it.
Everyone knows divorce rates are shamefully high, and same-sex unions are being legalized on a global scale. Ligonier. What if you had an angel involved in the arrangement of your marriage or your children’s marriage, wouldn’t that be amazing?
If you’re a believer, you actually do; the “Angel of the Lord” Himself. In Genesis 24, Abraham, in his advanced age, commissions his servant to find a suitable wife for Isaac, his son. Abraham’s desire is undergirded by God’s design. Ligonier. I confess the Song of Solomon has always intimidated me as a preacher.
Its vivid and excitable statements of marital sexual intimacy and the penchant of commentators to interpret it allegorically have combined to make me cautious. Even the ancients recommended that a young man not read the Song of Songs until he was either married or age 30. Yet, “all Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable…” (2 Tim. 3:16). The Song of Songs is presented as a dramatic narrative that includes Solomon’s bride, the never-named Shulammite, secondly Solomon, thirdly, the daughters of Jerusalem, and fourthly, the brothers of the Shulammite.
It could be the Shulammite is Naamah the Ammonite, Solomon’s first wife; the mother of Rehoboam (1 Kings 14:21) who was born one year before Solomon became king, which probably occurred around age 20. Ligonier. “And to forsake all others, till death do us part.”
One would think, that with the decades-old trend in the broader culture of “personal marriage vows,” wherein husband and wife fill in the blanks and speak their own words, that the above would be the first to be ditched. Ligonier. Liberals have a way of renaming things in order to make them acceptable. When former-President Clinton committed adultery he called it a “mistake.” Of course, it was sin. Patience is Still a Virtue. » Hexayurt Stuff Some Dude Does. (CORRECTION: THIS IS NOT RIGHT. Some of the shapes in the picture aren’t described in the description, and they can’t quite be made from 4×8 sheets. I was excited and missed it. Super embarrassed. See my correction post. ) So I was thinking about it more, playing around with the way these things tile… and I thought, for a larger space, maybe more sides is the ticket… So I give you the Dodecayurt 36: Side Elevation Top View.
