Marriage is Important
The Importance of Marriage – primarily from the perspective of Scripture.
God’s Creation
“So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” (Genesis 1:27 NKJV)
Right from the start God made men and women equal, in “the image of God” but with complementary differences as men and women.
On the creation of man God placed him in the garden and gave him His vision for life in the world that He, God had created. God then saw that something was incomplete and said “Then the LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him.” (Genesis 2:18 NLT). God had seen that it was not good for the first man, and for most of us, to be left by himself.
God then created/crafted woman out of the rib of that first man ( Genesis 2:21-22). Then, God presented and entrusted this remarkable gift to the man.
What we know as marriage had been instituted by God. A man and a woman becoming one new entity and, as we are told later being “one flesh”. That entity of one man and one woman being the fundamental human relationship in God’s created world. This human relationship being the basis for family — a relationship that is there ahead of the parent-child relationship.
Genesis 2:24 tells us
Prayer for marriage – for those in business & the workplace~ April
Time is a fixed commodity, and for many in the business community it has been an ongoing struggle to ensure that they have sufficient time with their families. Please pray that all would be wise stewards of their time. Pray that the culture would shift away from ‘work’ being the primary purpose in life.
A look at the management of many successful companies reveals that their leaders, whether Christian or not, maintain high ethical standards and deal fairly, often putting employees or customers first, and are good stewards of company finances. The principles of fair value, respect, serving others and stewardship have clear biblical origins but are more commonly known today as best business practices. The Bible is a good manual for all businesses, and successful businesses adhere to those principles with biblical origins. Pray that all would adhere to such principles
