The Meaning of Marriage
“Our sexual activity expresses something about God, whether we believe in Him or not, whether we agree with Him or not. God designed us for intimacy with Himself. Marriage is an analogy for this intimacy, and we are right to uphold it, but sexual intimacy, even within marriage, is not the highest good.”
God Doesn’t Create Junk
The deepest longings of your heart, however mingled with sin and selfishness they may be, have their origins in God’s grand design, His intentions, His purposes. We don’t have to invent our own meaning. We don’t have to craft our own identities based on what we want, because what we want most is given to us as a gift.
