To better understand about marriage and how a man and woman can meld their lives together, let’s look at some of the basics from God’s Word. Understanding what our heavenly Father says about our body and soul is vital to appreciating how awesomely and wonderfully He has designed our lives.

The Father Sent His Son so We Can Have Holy Spirit, Part 3

wedding1

We have seen in Part 1 that the Father is our mighty God Who makes us His children. In Part 2, we saw that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the captain of our salvation. Now we will see that it was through the works of God’s Son that we have the gift of holy spirit. God is Spirit, and we can worship Him in spirit and in truth.

The Father Sent His Son so We Can Have Holy Spirit, Part 2

god son holy spirit 1
My early years as an altar boy.

In Part 1, I told you about serving in my church and seeing the paintings of the Father, His Son, and the “Holy Ghost” above the altar. And we looked at what the scriptures say about the Father. The gospels, the Book of Acts, and the epistles written to the Church show that “the Father” is Almighty God, the Creator of the heavens and earth—Who loves us and  wants to know us intimately as His children. Now we will look at what the Bible has to say about His Son, our lord and savior, Jesus Christ.

Blue Mountain Learning

The beautiful Blue Mountains in New South Wales

While camping with friends in Australia’s Blue Mountains west of Sydney, I was intrigued by the beautiful rock formations and miles of scenic forests. The many oil-bearing eucalyptus trees fill the local atmosphere with finely dispersed droplets of oil and combine with dust particles and water vapor to yield a rich blue color across the landscape.

During our first visit there, we went horseback riding in Gosford. On another occasion, we returned to the Blue Mountains for  a weekend to get to know each other better, study the Bible, and enjoy the local sites. I learned a few life-and-death lessons there.

The dome of Sacred Heart Church in Festus, Missouri.

Growing up in Festus, Missouri, I attended Sacred Heart Church. There, in the vaulted dome above me each week, I saw a mural with three main characters: an old man with a long white beard, a younger looking man, and a dove inside of a triangle.
