When Sinners Say "I Do" Discovering the Power of the Gospel for Marriage
The gospel is something we need in every area of our lives. In marriage and in singleness. In joy and in sorrow. In good times and in hard times. When life feels good and when life feels confusing. This book showed so much of my need for Jesus and His grace. It calls us to look at our own sins and not be so easy to point out the sins of those around us. It shows the great gravity of our sins. We can all tend to point fingers and defend or blame our sins on others or life circumstances. I think especially today it is so easy to do this and not truly see our sins. "It is wrong, not because of what it does to me, or my spouse, or child, or neighbor, but because it is an act of rebellion against the infinitely holy and majestic God." -Jerry Bridges "There can be no small sins against a great God." -J.I. Packer Dave Harvey mentions in the book that with true sorrow of our "little sins", our awareness of God and His mercy grow. Be quick to see our own
HI ALYSSA, IT IS GRANDMA, AND I'M HERE TO SAY WHAT A WONDERFUL TIME I'M HAVING READING YOUR BLOG. SO MANY BOOKS, SO LITTLE TIME. WE SAW UNCLE EDDIE, ANTHONY, STACIE, AND BABY TROY YESTERDAY AT A PARK. ANTHONY HAD A BASEBALL GAME AND UNCLE KYLE AND I WENT TO SEE HIM PLAY. HE LOST THOUGH, AND UNCLE KYLE HAD TO GO TO WORK, SO WE ONLY SAW ONE GAME, BUT ANTHONY PLAYED VERY WELL, IT WAS HIS TEAM THAT DID NOT PLAY VERY WELL. I'M SO GLAD YOU ENJOY READING YOUR BOOKS. IT MAKES ME WANT TO READ SOME OF THE BOOKS YOU READ. THEY SOUND VERY INTERESTING. ALL MY LOVE
