The Holy Spirit and Marriage
Eph 5:17-28 Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. (18) And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, (19) speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, (20) giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, (21) submitting to one another in the fear of God. (22) Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. (23) For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. (24) Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. (25) Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, (26) that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, (27) that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. (28) So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. NKJV I like lists. I have always found it amusing to make various lists especially on long flights or waiting in airports. One of my favorites down through the years is a list of things that I cannot put off until heaven. I can wait till the Millennium to be a tourist. The Holy Land tours don’t have a great attraction unless I am needed to teach or preach, but it seems that there are a list of better teachers and preachers lined up for those jobs. A couple of years ago in Cusco, Peru with Robert there was an opportunity to visit Machu Pichu, an Inca temple that is famous around the world. I could visit that or teach in three church meetings that day. My choice was easy because I cannot change lives in heaven but by teaching the bible I can here and now. Things I can’t do in heaven
