We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Mercy even with us is an optional virtue; we do not have to be merciful. We usually admire people who are, but we do not say that people must be so. We say everybody must be just. We say, for example, an employer, if he agrees to pay a certain wage, must pay that particular wage. If he does not pay it, then he is unjust and is liable to a lawsuit. All our contracts are based on the integrity and honesty and justice of people with whom we do business. They are actually subject to trials and imprisonment and even execution if they violate their duty of man to man. What about mercy among men? We love it. We admire it. We encourage it. We sometimes practice it. But we do not say mercy is obligatory… If this is true even of human affairs, we can see immediately that God does not have to be merciful. He gave us life and conscience. He gave us intelligence to meet our obligations, and He has a right to hold us responsible for using them. He has no further obligation to forgive us if we do not. We say that the Judge of all the earth cannot do wrong, but we cannot say that the Judge of all the earth must be merciful.

John Gerstner

Once you have examined your own heart, here are some questions to ask the other person from the start: 1. How does Jesus Christ occupy first place in your life? 2. What are your views on various biblical doctrines? 3. What does your time in the Word and prayer look like? 4. What do you look for in a good church? 5. Do you regularly attend church and how are you serving? 6. Do you have any accountability in your life? 7. Are you presently able to support yourself financially? 8. How do you enjoy spending your free time? 9. What is your meaning of headship and submission? 10. How do you spend your money? 11. How do you handle conflict? 12. What is your criterion for entertainment (movies, television, etc.)? 13. Do you have any addictions? 14. Do you exercise? 15. Do you have any major health concerns? Here are some questions to ask as the relationship advances and heads toward marriage: 16. Would you like to have children? When and how many? 17. How do you feel children should be educated and disciplined? 18. Would you like to rent or own a home? 19. How do you see yourself relating to your parents and in-laws? 20. How do you see yourself relating to people of the opposite gender? 21. When and how do you plan to do family devotions? 22. Who will be the primary breadwinner? Should the wife work outside the home?
