This is a post from Phillip, taken from his personal blog
It has been about 8 months since my last update..
Epic Fail.
Not much has happened these past 8 months...wait,that is not entirely correct.
That girl I talked about, Casey Sharp, well we are no longer dating.
We're married.
If anything, that is enough change and newness to warrant a blog post. We were engaged over Thanksgiving and we were married on March 10th in Lewiston, ID. Marriage is a wonderful, refining, exciting, difficult, and enlightening adventure that I am privileged to be on ,and you can be sure that there will be numerous blog posts in the future of lessons learned, refining moments, and hilarious stories. I am so blessed to call such a beautiful Godly woman my wife.
The blog posts for the next couple of days will focus on some Biblical truths I am learning about marriage, taken from Ephesians 5.
1.Marriage glorifies God because it points us to the Gospel.
"Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands."
A couple of clarifications:

Marriage, in it's original design, is meant for one main thing.
To Glorify God
- the wife is compared to the church
- the church submits to Jesus Christ, who is the culmination and lifeblood of the Gospel.
- a woman's relationship with her husband is to be a direct response from her response to Christ.
- Biblical marriage is not politically correct. Neither is the Gospel.
- Homosexual marriage cannot hold to the tenants of God's design and intent for marriage,because the Scripture clearly demonstrates two different sexes in a marriage relationship (husband and wife)
- I don't write the mail, I just deliver it.
-The question to wrestle with today:
- How much of your life do you submit to Christ and how does it impact you?
As, I think on this, I see the need to figure out who this Jesus is that we must all submit to. We will look at those characteristics of Christ in the next blog.

Goodness. I started this blog with no idea of what I was going to say, let alone with no intent to start a mini-series.
However, Biblical marriage is under attack, and there is a great need to understand marriage in light of the Gospel, especially with the age group I interact with
Teaching on marriage is not just constrained to married couples who are having difficulties, newlyweds, r premarital counseling. If you are single or dating, having a Biblical view of marriage right now is essential to having a Godly marriage in the future.
As a BCM, we are praying about starting a young married's Bible study, so I am hopeful that this miniseries will feed into that!
