only a picture

Our marriage easily becomes our idol, the thing we seek more than we seek God.  It is even easier for our expectations of our spouse to become an idol, the image in our head of what our spouse should look like or do.

why marriage matters

Covenant making is not merely about the symbolism of what we do here this afternoon. It is about substance. This is no mere contract that you make.

on covenant making

January 7, 2013 wally metts4 Comments

A covenant is more than a contract. It does not protect our interests, as a contract does. It surrenders them. You come here to surrender yourself to the interests of each other, and you do this by making an oath. There is no mingling of blood, but a mingling of purpose as God himself makes you one flesh.

Covenant-keeping, sanctifying love

December 3, 2012December 3, 2012 wally metts5 Comments

The covenant you make is sacred and permanent. It is approached with reverence and sealed with blood. There is no backing out or giving up. You will swear before these witness to cherish each other until our Lord comes or until death alone shall part you.
