A timely message
As valentine day draws near, the sermon heard at church last sunday really touches everybody's heart in one way or another .
I have read the whole book of Genesis before but have never really remembered this story or put much meaning into it. The story of the sermon is taken from Genesis 38 & its about Judah & Tamar. Go read it if you have time. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/
?search=genesis%2038;&version=31;
Yes, I find that women are really much stronger than man emotionally & mentally. If men do not take responsibility or do not want to lead, women will be forced into desperation & will be able to do all sorts of things. But by then, it will really be a very sad situation, a situation where there is no road for turning back & no way for redemption.
As I look at F's marriage, I really feel sad for her. Although she can earn lots & lots of money, she can't find true happiness in other areas of her life. Which woman will want to support a husband who is so "weak" & does not want to stand up? Which woman will want to be more capable & successful than her man? Yes, if given a choice, woman will still want the man to be the leader & to provide support to her, not lean entirely on her. J, what's the use of going to church every weekend, praying, etc. when you don't do anything to change your own life & foolishly believe miracles will happen.
As valentine day draws near, let us reflect on the true meaning of love & marriage.
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY
