A Storybook Romance

June 5, 2009 in BLOG with 2 Comments

Maybe marriage isn’t about finding the one woman or man who was chosen for you “from the foundations of the earth”–unless, of course, you’re a Calvinist. Maybe it’s about making a relatively uninformed, risky decision in the midst of raging hormones, complete lack of experience and astounding ignorance about what the future holds. Then, take that decision and give it time, energy, commitment, blood, sweat and tears, and you get something that rivals a storybook romance. That’s what I thought of after hearing this morning’s StoryCorps episode on NPR. This is three minutes worth savoring: Seymour and Marcia Gottlieb

    Preacher and missionary, Paul Washer covers the topic of Godly marriage taking on both the husband and wife roles in a powerful series that I’ll have to share with you sometime…

    He really lets Scripture cut to the bone as he is laying out his case…

    In the meantime, I’ll have to check out this episode you’re referring to…

    Thanks man!

    And of course as a calvinist, I would say, “And yeah, it was just by pure chance that your parents met and had you. God and his sovereignty had nothing to do with it.”

    I will say it now, people who lean the other way are nothing more then atheists, because to believe in chance is to believe ultimately nothing, hence they are atheists.
