Sam and Miranda

Posted on Saturday, May 28, 2011Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

This is a Christian wedding, a doorway into a Christian marriage. What is it that makes it a Christian wedding? It is not the fact that it is occurring inside a Christian church—because it isn’t. A Christian wedding can occur in a church, of course, but that is not what makes it Christian. Sam and …

Samuel and Kelsie

Posted on Sunday, January 9, 2011Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

The Scriptures are given to us as light in a dark world. They are given to us as a description of God’s way, when our ways of doing things are usually quite different, and obviously not for the better. That difference accounts for all of the unhappiness around us. It accounts for all the wars, …

Jeremiah and Kelsey

Posted on Saturday, January 1, 2011Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

The Scriptures speak a great deal about glory, but as earth-bound novices, we tend to shy away from the subject. We think that the whole thing is beyond our grasp. And yet, the Bible is very clear that glory is part of our experience here in this world, and so we need to learn how …

In his book Experiment in Criticism, C.S. Lewis argues that the value of a book is to be measured by how many times a reader returns to it. If a book is simply a consumption item, then it should be evaluated as such, which is to say that it is not valued very highly. It …

What Abraham SawWhen Abraham looked into the future, he saw the day of the Lord Jesus. When he saw it, he rejoiced and was glad (John 8:56). When Abraham looked into the future he saw a city, whose maker and builder is God (Heb. 11:8-10). When Abraham looked into the future, he saw countless multitudes, …

Samuel and Susannah

Posted on Saturday, September 4, 2010Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

The book of Genesis is the book of our beginnings, but they are not simplistic beginnings. Rather, God has given us a layered and textured account what He did when He first created us, male and female, and this is an account that never fails to astonish us when we go back to learn from …

Posted on Sunday, August 29, 2010Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

In the institution of marriage, God has created a wonderful balance in the formation of the human race as male and female. This balance is glorious, and we are most grateful for it. It is clear that from the beginning man was meant to go with woman, and that woman was meant to go with …

Andrew and Ashlynn

Posted on Saturday, August 14, 2010Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

God loves to teach us by throwing one thing alongside another. Parallelism is one of His central teaching devices, and He has many ways of putting things in parallel. When two things are lined up together, we compare and contrast them, and we see what they have in common and in what ways they are …

Andrew and Mary Katherine

Posted on Sunday, July 18, 2010Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

If someone entirely unacquainted with Christian Scripture or church history were given a copy of just the Old Testament, and that person read it carefully and thoroughly, one of the first things he would wonder would be, “Where’s the sequel? Where is the second part?” The Scriptures that were given to Israel were clearly looking …

Posted on Friday, May 21, 2010Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

Marriage is one of the great gifts of God and, as with all His gifts, it must be received by faith. Not only must it be received by faith, it must be received by faith alone. This is a truth that we may view from various angles. For example, in Ephesians 5, marriage is set …
