A Marriage Covenant: Not For Women Only by Linda Anderson Pdf

Have you ever wondered why the Bible contains certain specific elements, such as the proliferation of the numbers seven or ten? Or why Peter and Andrew caught specifically 153 fish when Jesus told them to put their net on the opposite side of the boat? I wondered. That curiosity led me to a bigger change in my understanding of scripture than I could have imagined. It literally revolutionized my bible study practice. I am going to let you in on the secret. It is learning to see Scripture through more of a Jewish mindset. Jesus was Jewish, and so was the majority of his audience and the majority of the authors that wrote the Bible. That culture is far different from ours. Therefore it behooves us to attempt to learn something of what Jesus Christ and writers of the word meant when they penned their words. As a serious student of the word, I have spent over twenty years examining and teaching on God's marriage covenant from that perspective. Many of the theories we have been taught about prophecy, the rapture, or lack thereof are brilliantly clear in meaning when we look at them through eyes that understand Jewish culture and the true meaning of the concept of covenant in Hebrew.

Marriage is a Covenant, Not an Institution by Arthur J. Lindsey Sr. Pdf

Several years ago, I noticed that there was a high percentage of divorces within the church among church leadersaEUR"men and women who should be our examples but could not reconcile their own marriages. So how could they reconcile others? Sadly, the church looked as if we were okay with what was happening. This concerned me, so I asked God if there was anything that I could do. As I was riding one day, I heard the words aEURoeMarriage is a covenant, not an institution,aEUR and I was not sure what this was about. So my research began. What does the marriage covenant mean? How does God feel about this covenant? What is an institution? How does this affect the marriage relationship? What does God really think about divorce? How does all of this affect our relationship with God? Who gave the courts the authority to redefine marriage?

Covenant and Calling by Robert Song Pdf

No other issue in recent times has proved as potentially divisive for the churches as that of same-sex relationships. At the same time as many countries have been moving towards legal recognition of civil partnerships or same-sex marriage, Christian responses have tended towards either finding alliances with proponents of conservative social mores, or providing what amounts to theological endorsement of secular liberal values.

Sex and the Marriage Covenant by John Kippley Pdf

The thesis of this book is that God intends that sexual intercourse should be at least implicitly a renewal of the marriage covenant. From this it follows that the marriage covenant provides the criterion to evaluate the morality of every sexual act. Thus the title, Sex and the Marriage Covenant, is an appropriate description of the bookಙs contents. Marriage comes into being by a couple unreservedly entering God's covenant of marriage; contraceptive intercourse contradicts the very essence of the marriage covenant. From these considerations, Kippley developed the covenant theology of sexuality described in this book.

Fierce Marriage by Ryan Frederick,Selena Frederick Pdf

Ryan and Selena Frederick were newlyweds when they landed in Switzerland to pursue Selena's dream of training horses. Neither of them knew at the time that Ryan was living out a death sentence brought on by a worsening genetic heart defect. Soon it became clear he needed major surgery that could either save his life--or result in his death on the operating table. The young couple prepared for the worst. When Ryan survived, they both realized that they still had a future together. But the near loss changed the way they saw all that would lie ahead. They would live and love fiercely, fighting for each other and for a Christ-centered marriage, every step of the way. Fierce Marriage is their story, but more than that, it is a call for married couples to put God first in their relationship, to measure everything they do and say to each other against what Christ did for them, and to see marriage not just as a relationship they should try to keep healthy but also as one worth fighting for in every situation. With the gospel as their foundation, Ryan and Selena offer hope and practical help for common struggles in marriage, including communication problems, sexual frustration, financial stress, family tension, screen-time disconnection, and unrealistic expectations.

Rich Wounds by David Mathis Pdf

Profound reflections on the cross that help you to meditate on and marvel at the sacrificial love of Jesus. This book can be used as a devotional, especially during Lent and Easter. These profound reflections on the cross from David Mathis, author of The Christmas We Didn’t Expect, will help you to meditate on and marvel at Jesus’ life, sacrificial death, and spectacular resurrection-enabling you to treasure anew who Jesus is and what he has done. Many of us are so familiar with the Easter story that it becomes easy to miss subtle details and difficult to really enjoy its meaning. This book will help you to pause and marvel at Jesus, whose now-glorified wounds are a sign of his unfailing love and the decisive victory that he has won: “He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5) This book can be used as a devotional. The chapters on Holy Week make it especially helpful during the Lent season and at Easter.

Marriage as a Covenant by Gordon Paul Hugenberger Pdf

This book focuses on the interpretation of Malachi 2:10-16, which censures the lax marital practice of its contemporaries. In particular, Hugenberger investigates Malachi's identification of marriage as a "covenant" in response to recent scholarly challenges to this identification. Taking the issues raised by Malachi as his point of departure, Hugenberger examines the nature of covenant and oath (including verba solemnia and oath-signs), and, in light of these findings, explores the theory of marriage implied elsewhere in the Old Testament. Included in this investigation are an analysis of the concentric literary structure of Malachi and a study of the Old Testament's ethical perspectives on divorce, polygamy, and sexual fidelity. An extensive bibliography and indices complete the book.

Covenant Dating by Beverly D. Allen Pdf

It's been said that insanity is doing the same thing over and over yet expecting different results. Are you weary of the "dating treadmill," trying out different potential partners only to be let down again and again? Dating as a believer is not meant to be "casual"; it must focus on achieving a "covenant relationship" seeking only for a covenant partner. Covenant dating is the biblical path to marriage for those in the dating pool who are tired of getting their hearts broken and not reaching their goal of marriage. Regardless of the compromises you make to try to please another's flesh or even your own, it will not bring true joy to the spirit. But obedience to God and His Word, which protects your heart, emotions, and above all your spiritual relationship with God, will. Covenant Dating can help all those seeking a marriage partner to abide by God's intended plan to take you to help-meet status as a covenant partner. It is not a list of rules but a lifestyle blueprint to guard your heart and your body. Remember, with God all things are possible to him that believes, trusts, and waits on the Lord. God can do for you what He has done for countless others!
