Establishing a Marriage for God's Glory
Type: General Session, Workshop
Topic: Marriage, Spiritual
Audience: Parents, Pre-marriage
Description: The marriage relationship in the home provides the basis for teaching the next generation about marriages that glorify God. The calling of God to be the bride of Christ is an irrevocable call of God to oneness. So also the calling of God to marriage is an irrevocable calling to oneness because it is a picture of the gospel.
