I wish more brothers would boast of their wives in public, honor them for the evidence of grace in their lives. Thank you for sharing with us the great blessings of God in your life. Praying that Christ is pictured more and more clearly in your marriage with each day, and that the joy of being int he Lord's presence would be yours and your wife's!

In the end, when kings and kingdoms pass away, God's word will still be the same and He will reward those who diligently and faithfully seek Him. I am encouraged to know you are there. <BR/><BR/>Unknown Soldier,<BR/>Condi and Oprah being used by God is not the issue. Vessels of dishonor are in the will of God just as vessels of honor are (2Tim. 2:20). Now, I am not saying that Condi is a vessel of dishonor, only making the point that to be God's will, in the ultimate sense, all you have to do is exist. Besides, the world would have us to think that being a mother and a wife is selling women short. Sure it would be selling them short if we are short-sighted. But the Kingdom of God has no such eye problems. If I must choose between worldly thinking and traditional (as you call it) biblical thinking, I will choose the latter everytime. I thank God my wife has chosen it too. <BR/>Thanks for coming by. <BR/><BR/>Mark,<BR/>Thanks for your blessing this day. May God be gracious and good to you in your labors and love as well.ajcarterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13980281246023066725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14839062.post-1155052828580051822006-08-08T12:00:00.000-04:002006-08-08T12:00:00.000-04:00Brother Anthony,As one who desires to be joined to...Brother Anthony,<BR/>As one who desires to be joined to a good Godly wife in God's wise timing, I rejoice with you on your anniversary!

These are high callings, yes, and God makes it clear that they are to be done well. But God's purposes can extend far beyond what we have made so traditional. To even suggest that women like Condi Rice and Oprah are not in the center of God's will simply because they are not wives or mothers is to diminish the vastness of God's will and the immeasurable resources he will use in order for his will to be done. You use the example of Mary -- Mary was, indeed, called to motherhood and that fits well in the scope of what is traditional. But observe the untraditional way God allowed this plan to unfold? Mary was a virgin. That was, at the time, dangerously scandalous. So, the traditions that we hold in such high esteem mean nothing when God intends to see his will done on this earth. In fact, for all we know, he may look forward to breaking traditions, to pushing out the boundaries of what we arrogantly see as acceptable and righteous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
