- While our society attempts to redefine marriage and deny that God created us male and female for His glory, Christians are called to hold marriage in honor (Heb. 13:4). In this message, Dr. Sinclair Ferguson considers how the Bible provides instruction for both husbands and wives to pursue their callings before the Lord so that marriages and families might glorify Him and shine as lights in a dark world.
This message is from Stand Firm, our 2023 National Conference: • Stand Firm: 2023 Natio...
That message on marriage was a real blessing to my soul. I am so thankful for my wife of 21+ years and I am so glad God provided my wife when I asked Him to pick her out for me and to bring us together in His timing. God has been so good and faithful to us as husband and wife. I look forward to sharing this message with my wife as well.
The quote near the 41 minute mark: “That I may come nearer to her, draw me nearer to Thee than to her. That I may know her, make me to know Thee more than her. That I may love her with the perfect love of a perfectly whole heart, cause me to love thee more than her, and best of all.” William Henry Temple Gairdner
❤ I pray for that husband.
That was one of the most powerful and beautiful sermons I’ve listened too. I’ve never thought of how much of an example Christian marriage is in the world. The way he put it was inspired. God bless Dr. Ferguson. That was so moving.
The principle reason for marriage is deep companionship!
Have been a psychologist over 30 years. This should be required of every pre and post marriage counseling. Thank you!

Christian counseling is a most even before courtship 🙏🏻❤️
Thank you Sinclair Ferguson! Beautiful teaching on marriage! ❤
I’m rereading (listening on audible) “Love and Respect.” I can’t recommend this book enough as a practical guide to making our marriages salt & light. I’ve been so refreshed. This sermon is in the same vein. God bless you all!
Who’s book is it?

Oh I wish I could be married, please send me a Godly wife Lord! Please!
Did you find your wife?
@@pattirose4487 not yet, I was actually talking with a Christian brother last night about it. You see I turned 39 earlier this week and I am still hoping that the Lord will bring me the one he has in mind for me. thanks for asking! God is good, and my eyes need to remain fixed on him
Please pray that God would send me a Godly wife. One to keep me in my Church which i love, in Celebrate recovery which i also love.

The outraged pearl clutching prissy grand dame tone is hillarious. What a sanctimonius old drama queen he truly is.
34:47 Dismissing professional marriage counselors as “gurus in their 30’s” who “arrogantly project” onto their clients is itself shockingly arrogant. There is nothing inherently unbiblical about behavioral science or expert knowledge, and there is nothing inherently admirable about a long marriage. I suppose by your rationale, we’d have no need of young educated pastors so long as there are old people in the church who have believed for many years.
I think if you look back at the church and what the body of Christ should truly look like you would realize the “professional marriage counsel” role should be filled by members in the church whether it be church leadership or other members. The word of God and those in Christ are enough.
