We learn from Paul in Ephesians 5:31-32 that, from the beginning, manhood and womanhood existed to represent or dramatize God’s relation to His people and then Christ’s relation to His bride, the church. In this drama, the man represents God or Christ and is to love his wife as Christ loved the church. The woman represents God’s people or the church. And sexual union in the covenant of marriage represents pure, undefiled, intense heart-worship. That is, God means for the beauty of worship to be dramatized in the right ordering of our sexual lives.

A Message from our Provider:

“God cares”

Are you a cynic? Let’s take a moment for a little self-examination. Do you have difficulty seeing people and situations from a positive perspective? Are you quick to point out problems in a situation, but rarely if ever offer solutions? Do you give suggestions without ever offering to help? Do you speak negatively of others behind their backs? Do you find it easy to complain? Are you one that is rarely seen smiling? Are you often compelled to give a critical opinion in your effort to “help?” Do you assume the worst in someone? Do you fear failure? Do you judge others motives? Are you harsh, insensitive or abrasive? Do you delight in airing your own opinion? Do you negate someone’s idea without ever considering it? Do you enjoy passing judgment? Do others have difficulty being in your company and sharing their thoughts with you?
