you are officially married // we only have // a pronouncement left to go // But I get the special privilege to be the first to give you // marital advice as a couple // Now that you are married // we have a special challenge // It’s no mystery, or it shouldn’t be to anybody, why Ephesians 6 is immediately following the section on the family. It’s one of the places where spiritual warfare can be most devastating // to a Christian. The most efficient and effective form of warfare // in the history of the world // is for an opponent to get his enemies // to shoot one another // you see that’s the goal of sin // and Satan’s wily scheme // to get the church // and all of the ministries and institutions and entities beneath it // to destroy themselves // by not pursuing the will of God. This is more than just roles of husbands and roles of a wives // The power of Ephesians 5 really occurs in verse 18, where the apostle advises all who call Christ their own // to be filled with the Spirit // that is resting wholly on the power of God // and His counsel in your life. The challenge will be to be selfish at times. And, Eric, as one who will be the leader of the household, to consider your will as absolute, rather than consider yourself a steward of God’s daughter’s heart. That’s a high calling which will require deep prayer and deep commitment. You will often // as most of us husbands do // find yourself in the humble place // of having to apologize // when you do, embrace it! // do not fear humility // because in the day you do // it will destroy your relationship // and it will discredit your witness // stay far away from pride // let your leadership be an easy leadership for her to follow // Embrace the wisdom too that God has given to her for you. [20:34] Allison, likewise // the challenge will be to trump Eric at times // but be wise // remember that the minimum standard by which you must treat him // is as a brother in Christ // which is an eternal relationship // the relationship that you’re setting forth today // because of human lifespan // may only last another 50 or 60 years // should the Lord show grace awhile // so let the eternal relationship of Eric being a brother in Christ // counsel the relationship you have with husband as husband // and so that will be the minimum standard for your love for another // You will have differences of opinion at times // If both of you were the same // one of you would be unnecessary. For this reason, God gives grace and humility and counsel // because He is the expert at putting things together and making them last // that simply should not fit as He places us in Christ who are totally unworthy // that gives us all the blessings // through a wonderful unity with our sweet husband // that is the church’s husband // Christ Jesus // so the Lord IS able! // let these words and these thoughts guide and keep you // and shepherd you daily // and tide you through // when the days are difficult // and lead you to apologize when you’re sure you’re right // for the sake of the peace and purity of the church of Jesus Christ // as it manifests itself in your home // May God bless you // and may all our advice to you always be prayerful and thoughtful and never selfish even from us.

That you have put them at close range of each other's good intentions and sacred hearts and thoughts. May they be greedy in prayer for one another. May the service that you offer to the church through their skills and their training be blessed. Guide them and keep them wherever they go. Protect them from harm and from sin both internally and externally.

We still need to get our wedding bands and take care of many other details!

The stars had emerged to watch us from beneath the evening clouds after a calm summer shower. Allison, in the dark, only saw their usual twinkling performance. The stars, however, were winking at me knowingly. “I am so thankful God has brought us together. I think we would serve well together for His kingdom. I don’t want to imagine a future where that is not so.” Then I knelt. Taking her hand, I kissed it. “I love you.” With a gaze and a smile, Allison echoed the sentiment. It was our first exchange of these words. Reaching into my pocket, I retrieved for her the star I had chosen for her. “Allison Haley Bryant, will you marry me?”<br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeZI_iVWA3H3LA5sWakECcerntZwglZN-_cqjSkMd9DJFBFPegUw1LYNgwmCRveO1YPhDS33cDqpMfXsj2VysYteDTzqrTONz0JefwhiwcGSJLLRe3PFsEynk9btyj2AZGD-LlDBqq/s1600-h/newspaperClipping_highlight.png"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5230732311324658786" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeZI_iVWA3H3LA5sWakECcerntZwglZN-_cqjSkMd9DJFBFPegUw1LYNgwmCRveO1YPhDS33cDqpMfXsj2VysYteDTzqrTONz0JefwhiwcGSJLLRe3PFsEynk9btyj2AZGD-LlDBqq/s400/newspaperClipping_highlight.png" border="0" /></a></p><br /><br /><p><strong>Can you believe I'm getting married!? </strong>Thank you all for your perseverance in prayer for me all these years.
