Society hurls questions at marriage like spears searching for chinks in armor. "Why worry about a document? What does a piece of paper mean, anyway? Why go through the expense and trouble of a ceremony?" Walter Wangerin, Jr., in his book, holds up a shining shield.
L unqualified promise to be faithful, each to the other, until the end of their days. That spoken promise makes the difference. A new relationship is initiated. Marriage begins when each vows to commit herself, himself, unto the other and to no other human in this world: "I promise you my faithfulness, until death parts us." That vow, once spoken, once heard, permits a new, enduring trust: each one may trust the vow of the other one. And that vow forms the foundation of the relationship to be built upon it hereafter.
A remembered, and trusted -this is the groundwork of marriage. Not emotions. No, not even love. Not physical desires or personal needs or sexuality. Not the practical fact of living together. Not even the piercing foresight or some peculiar miracle of All-seeing God. Rather, a promise, a vow, makes the marriage.
"I
Marriage is a matter of commitment. And it is a commitment that matters. It matters to your children. It matters to Christ. And those should be pretty good reasons to make it matter to you.

O but you will see differently one day soon, when you can go no farther. You have smitten me and taken captive my children, but I still have a Husband who will return soon to gather us back unto Him and you will be alone. Yes, He has been away, but His love and promises have not, and I am standing firm in the belief He will return and gather us back unto Him. So, get thee behind me, Satan. I have never feared you, because I knew from my Lord's promises that you could only go so far, and then you would be cut off. You see, you have great power, alright, but my Lord is greater and reigns over you, so good-bye, Satan, you have caused your last trouble with me. Sure, you are a great deceiver, but there has been One all along Whom you could not deceive, and He is the One Who will save us from your hold on us.

GRACE:
"G we look about the world in which we live and survey its beauty, how is it possible for anyone to believe that this all happened just by chance or evolution? The scriptures plainly teach that God made the fish of the sea and the fowl of the air. He divided the night from the day, and He created man in His own image. This series of events took place in six days, not forty billion years as some of today's so-called scientists would have us to believe. How can man possibly consider even for a moment that some chance explosion made this beautiful planet called Earth, the other eight planets in our solar system, as well as the vast number of stars that light the heavens at night? Let us also consider that the Bible, in many places, teaches us that as the sands of the seas and the stars of the skies, so are the number of God's children that will live in Heaven.
R ES AND RIGHTEOUSNESS." Prov. 8:18. We, as God's children, have riches that we cannot begin to perceive. In our finite minds we do not have the ability to understand the infinite riches that await us when this life is over and we will at last be able to walk the streets of heaven. "EYE HATH NOT SEEN, NOR EAR HEARD . . . THE THINGS WHICH GOD HATH PREPARED FOR THEM THAT LOVE HIM." I Cor. 2:9. My friends, I declare unto you that we have a storehouse of riches that await us, and we have the privilege and the opportunity to enjoy great riches while we sojourn here in this world. We have the Church of the true and living God that was established here in this world for our benefit that we might serve Him as best we know how until that grand and glorious day when we are all called home to be with God.
"A AND YE ARE IN ME, AND I IN YOU." John 14:20. What day is He talking about here? I believe He is talking about the ascension of Jesus after the resurrection when the Holy Ghost descended out of Heaven, and those who love Him and fear Him will know without a shadow of a doubt that we serve a triune God: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost and that these three are one. We are taught by the scrip G OD'S R ICHES A T C HRIST'S E XPENSE OD CREATED THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH." Gen. 1:1. As ICHES AND HONOUR ARE WITH ME: YEA, DURABLE RICH T THAT DAY YE SHALL KNOW THAT I AM IN MY FATHER,
tures that at the appointed place and time, God will make Himself manifest in the flesh, walk with His people and teach or minister to them and, in the end, save them from their sins.
"C of the earth some thirty-three years and during that time He was a minister to the ministers, healer of the sick and the crippled, feeder to the hungry, a comforter to those that mourned and, in the end, He was a Saviour to His people. He still does the same things today as He watches from His throne in Heaven. Jesus came into this world not only to be a saviour to His people but to make it known that God has a kingdom here in this world as well. Jesus tells us in John 3:3 VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO THEE, EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN AGAIN, HE CANNOT SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD," thus teaching us that unless we are regenerated and born of the spirit of God we cannot and will not enjoy the Kingdom of God that has been set up for us here in this world: the Church.
"E let me tell you that our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ paid the greatest price that anyone has ever paid. He became sin for us and died in our room and stead, leaving us holy and spotless, without blame for our wrongdoings, and thus paid in full the price for our salvation. He gave His life in order that we might have life and have it more abundantly. Isaiah 40:1-2 "COMFORT YE, COMFORT YE MY PEOPLE, SAITH YOUR GOD. SPEAK YE COMFORTABLY TO JERUSALEM, AND CRY UNTO HER, THAT HER WARFARE IS ACCOMPLISHED, THAT HER INIQUITY IS PARDONED: FOR SHE HATH RECEIVED OF THE LORD'S HAND DOUBLE FOR ALL HER SINS." There is coming a time when time on this old earth will stand no more and the dead in Christ will rise first and those of us that are alive and remain will be called up into the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord. He has finished the work, He has paid the price and I long for the day when I can fully understand GOD'S RICHES AT CHRIST'S EXPENSE. GRACE: what more could we ever need?

Sister Imandra Crocker from Mt. Olive Primitive Baptist Church and Brother Steve Johnson from Bethany Primitive Baptist Church, Atlanta, Georgia, were united in marriage in a beautiful ceremony presided over by Elder Guy Hunt and Elder Wayne Crocker, father of the Bride. Vestavia Church was filled for the 6:30 P.M. service. It is a wonderful blessing to see two dedicated children of God purpose to cast their lot together for the remainder of their life on this earth. We want to keep our young people in the Church for the youth of today will be the Church of tomorrow. We pray God's richest blessings upon this union as Brother and Sister Johnson strive to follow Christ's teachings and examples set forth in His Word. Be sure to read Brother Steve's article elsewhere in this issue.
Sister Karen Ulch and Brother Wayne Harrison, both from Vestavia Primitive Baptist Church in Birmingham, were united in marriage in a beautiful ceremony presided over by Elder Ernie Stump, their pastor. Vestavia Church was filled for the 2:00 P.M. service. This is another excellent young couple starting life together in the Primitive Baptist Church. We trust they will have a long and prosperous life together in the Church. The Johnson wedding and the Harrison wedding are the first two of six weddings planned at Vestavia Church this year. Almost all those involved are Primitive Baptists. We pray God will shower His blessings upon this union and cause it to prosper as Brother and Sister Harrison serve Him in their married life.
A Time To Help . . .
Sister Robin Wilson, the daughter of Elder Joe and Sister Wanda Wilson of Cusseta, Alabama, has cancer throughout her body. The Doctors have now told the family that Robin also has leukemia, another form of cancer, as well.
Sister Robin has asked that we all remember her in our prayers. Robin is handling this situation fairly well at the present time, but the entire ordeal is placing quite a strain on her and her family. They all need our prayers, calls, cards, and caring.
Previously, Robin was coming to Birmingham once a week for treatments and tests; now, she will be coming twice a week for an accelerated program of treatments for both the cancer and the leukemia. These treatments will be more uncomfortable for her than the previous ones. She will experience more pain and discomfort.
Sister Robin and her family have requested that we all remember them in our prayers. Let us set aside a time (or times) each day for the express purpose of praying for this family in its time of great need. God hears and answers prayer. Let us offer up our prayers to Him in their behalf. We know "The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."
There is a special financial need at this time, a need which will grow as the treatments continue. Already, several Churches and community organizations, as well as friends, neighbors, and relatives, have helped financially; however, this need is great and we need to continue raising funds.
If you want to contribute to this cause you may send your donations to this publication. All donations will be forwarded to the proper authorities. Make your check payable to the ROBIN WILSON FUND. Your cancelled check will be your receipt.
I want to make it clear that the Wilson family did not in any way request that I make this appeal on their behalf. I just know they are in need of our assistance at this time.
F spontaneous, unguarded love in action. But it cannot come alive or grow without the presence of three essential ingredients. One is the admission of a need for other people. ism are enemies we need to fight. If we are going to make it through life we dare not try to go it alone. Another key element is tivation of deep relationships. Of course, putting this into practice takes a great deal of time and effort, but the dividends far outweigh the personal cost. Finally, there must be ment to assimilation. to realize the tremendous value of each person in the Body of Christ, we will seek to encourage and serve them in their spiritual growth and Christian service. Although it is important for all of us to make these foundational elements a part of our lives, it is also crucial that we realize the dangers which threaten to move us away from obtaining an unguarded liefstyle. By becoming aware of these hazards, we will be less prone to fall prey to them. So let's spend some time exposing them and then focus on the positive steps to avoid these pitfalls. ew things are as contagious as I. Dangers to Avoid After forty years of wandering in the desert regions of the Sinai Peninsula, the Israelites were finally ready to enter Canaan-the Promised Land. But Moses, Self-sufficiency and isolationthe man God had used to lead them for so long, could not cross the border with them. His final outburst of anger brought a di the culvine judgment that excluded him from entering Canaan (Numbers 20:2-12). So Moses sought to prepare the Hebrews to take possession of the land by giving some God-ordained a firm commitcounsel. Embedded in the As we come words he spoke are warnings against four dangers that are as pertinent to us today as they were to the Israelites so many centuries ago. A. Falling more in love with the leader than with the Lord. Hear Moses: 1 Now these ments, the statutes, are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the Lord your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it :2 That thou mightest fear the Lord thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.... The Lord our God Lord: the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might." . Moses knew that he would soon be taken away from the Israelites and that another person would be stepping into his shoes of leadership. Because of this, he wanted to assure the people that although human leaders would come and go, the Lord would always be with them, sustaining and protecting them regardless of their circumstances. Therefore Moses called on the Hebrews to devote themselves fully to God. By doing this, the Israelite leader was alerting the people to the danger of exalting an earthly authority over the heavenly One. Only the Lord is worthy of our ultimate loyalty and deepest expressions of love. And He alone provides the spiritual cement that binds believers together into a unified whole. As long as we base our conduct on these truths, we will find ourselves encouraging teamwork, not hero worship, in the accomplishment of the tasks of ministry. 4 Hear, O Israel: B. Fixing eyes on immediate is one convenience instead of ulti 5 And thou shalt love mate objective. Continuing to render wise counsel to the Hebrews, Moses exhorted: 6 And these words, which I commanded thee this day, shall be in thine heart: 7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. . 9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates." . Moses did not want the Israelites to move into Canaan and become spiritually lethargic. So he urged them to work hard at making their knowledge of God and His ways the central focus and foundation of their lives. By doing so, they would develop a lifestyle of mutual shar
ing and caring--a way of life that would help carry them through the tough times and provide them with great delight during the periods of prosperity. Today, too many of us are caught in the "Sit, soak, and sour" syndrome. We are prone to sacrifice our relationships with those around us and with the Lord on the altar of convenience. What we need to do is center our lives on God and His desires. Only then will we find the details of both our private and public worlds beginning to fall into place. C. Assuming that size means strength. easy it is for people to think that great numbers and large assets equal incredible strength. So he warned the Hebrews that their ability to stay strong did not rest in their size or possessions but in the Lord (see Deut. 6:10-13). How obvious this truth seems! A family is not strong because it has many children; a city's strength does not reside in the size of its buildings or population; and a church's effectiveness in meeting people's needs is not predicated on how many members it has or on how much it receives in contributions. Rather, strength is found in God, and it is developed on a horizontal level through the giving of ourselves to others. D. Living in the glow of yesterday instead of the challenge of tomorrow. After receiving the reigns of leadership formerly held by Moses, Joshua was given these words of instruction from the Lord: 1 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.... 9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong Moses realized how and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the L ORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest." . In response to this command, Joshua went to the officers of the people and said, "Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land which the L ORD your God giveth you to possess it." . The Israelites were not to live in the past but were to press on to the future, for they would never receive the
blessings that awaited them until they took on the challenge of conquering Canaan. The Lord exhorts us in a similar vein today. He does not want believers to remain static or to retreat. His desire is that we advance toward new horizons as He opens and leads the way. II. Principles to Apply Now that we are aware of these dangers, we need to consider what positive steps we can take to avoid them. The application of the following three principles will provide the direction we need. A. To go on, we must get closer. ing relationships may involve disruptions of our privacy and challenges to our patience. But these are minor inconveniences compared with the personal and corporate benefits closeness to others can bring. B. To get closer, we must pull together. rejoice in the happiness of others, feel the pain of those who hurt, and seek to help the needy. In other words, pulling together requires our unselfish participation in people's lives. C. To pull together, we must grow deeper. As our walk with God becomes stronger, our ability to cultivate relationships with fellow Christians will heighten; and as we become more vulnerable in our relationships, we will find our unity with believers increasing; These are the challenges before us. Are you willing to meet them? \ This item is from a booklet titled DROPPING YOUR GUARD, THE VALUE OF OPEN RELATIONSHIPS, by Charles R. Swindoll. It gives us some food for thought. At times, develop\

this type marital situation should Too many young people fail to realize the extreme importance of religious compatibility in choosing a spouse. A believer should never marry an unbeliever, but should marry 7:39). However, just because a person is not a member of the church does not mean he or she is an unbeliever. In the sense we use the term (and the sense Paul used it), an unbeliever is someone who has no interest in the things of Christ. All other things being equal, it is far better that a couple be of the same religious persuasion. How can two walk together except they be agreed (Amos 3:3)? Those with strong, conflicting religious beliefs will find it difficult or impossible to build a happy, harmonious home. If either should sacrifice the practice of his or her religion just for the sake of getting along, it would be an indication of spiritual weakness. That type sacrifice will more likely bring turmoil than harmony to a marriage. No doubt there have been some successful marriages and good homes made under all the adverse conditions mentioned above. But To Page 14 --> we believe these must surely be the exception rather than the rule. Those who are presently in prayerfully strive to be the exception. However, those who have not married should seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness (Mat. 6:33). Those who only in the Lord" (I Cor. are doing this will, no doubt, find little attraction for one who is completely worldly-minded, or one who would require them to sacrifice their religion. Those contemplating marriage should be willing to surrender some of their independence. Consideration must be given to the best interest of the spouse before making every major step in life. Later on, the welfare of the children must also be considered. Few individuals are prepared to make the sacrifices necessary to build a harmonious marriage and family before their late teen years or early twenties. Furthermore, most young men will find it hard to provide for a family before their early or mid-twenties. Then, why are young people endowed by their Creator with the attraction to the opposite sex and the ability to reproduce years before they are otherwise prepared for marriage? We believe the following may be some of the reasons:
--> From Page 13 Probably, dreams of having a family motivate most young people toward worthwhile achievements more than any other factor. A boy longs for the day when he can have a wife and children. He knows that in order to provide for them, he must apply himself toward learning some trade or profession. A girl also has the dream of being a wife and mother and takes an interest in learning and doing those things that will help make the dream come true. This desire for one's own family is much stronger after a child becomes an adolescent. \ This is from sieged City, Crocker.

The Lord bless thee and keep thee: The Lord make His face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up His countenance upon thee, and give thee peace." .
Maturity is the ability to control anger and settle differences without violence or destruction. Maturity is patience, the willingness to pass up immediate pleasure in favor of the longterm gain. Maturity is perseverance, the ability to sweat out a project or situation in spite of opposition or discouraging setbacks. Maturity is unselfishness -responding to the needs of others, often at the expense of one's own desires or wishes. Maturity is humility. It is being Hope For The Bebig enough to say, "I was by Elder G. Wayne wrong." And, when right, the mature person need not say, I told you so." Maturity is the art of living in peace with that which we cannot change. \
Lord, we know we can't do everything for our children; help us to do what we can, the best we can -to remain honest and open to each other's needs, and to be there with loving support for the special people our children are becoming." -Quoted

Sister Nancy Hildreth's Mother is to enter the hospital this week for some tests. Sister Fuller's Sister, Alma, is sick. David Tucker's Brother, Ray, is still no better. Sister Curlee's son, Jim, is much better and received a good report from his Doctor last week. Sister Robin Wilson has cancer and leukemia and is undergoing treatments and tests twice a week. Please remember all these and any others we may not know about who are ill and need our prayers.
