All Things Beautiful #11 – Ken Williams

Ken Williams Different But the Same: Some people search for compatible mates via AI digital or counseling services. One couple we know is happy they did this. O.K. but was God the original “match maker”? Did he create perfectly matched humans when he made the first couple into one flesh? The first created man responded with heartfelt gratitude when God gave him the first created woman; she was flesh of his flesh, bone of his bone, his helper, comparable to him. In my opinion this was due only to the fact that she was created in God’s image, like him (Gen. 2:23-25 OSB). Nancy Jo and I hold this opinion after 54 years of marriage between ...

All Things Beautiful #10 – Ken Williams

Ken Williams Jack and Tina – one flesh: Matthew 19:3 Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?” 4 “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.’? 6 So they are no longer two, but one.

All Things Beautiful #7 – Ken Williams

Ken Williams Marriage, a Great Mystery – Beautiful! God became the Creator when he created time and space. He disturbed the cosmos he created, like dropping a rock into a still pond; his presence endlessly radiates concentric tsunamis of light, outwardly, replacing darkness. God created marriage in the beginning. The author of Genesis recorded, “And God created man in His image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them” (Gen 1:27-28 NASB). God brought them together and they became “one flesh” (Gen. 2:24). God blessed them, and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth…” (Gen.1:28...

Food, Family, Marriage, Celebration – Ken Williams

God loves food, marriage and celebration: Revelation 19:9 And the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” In Revelation 19:6-9 the apostle John writes how God concludes the history of humanity with an invitation to come to his marriage supper celebration. All are invited! My hearts eyes focused on “…the marriage supper of the Lamb.” I long for the day our Groom returns from heaven but couldn’t help thinking, “I wonder what’s on Jesus’ menu?” Jesus enjoyed eating with others. He accepted invitations to eat with others and invited many to share the food that ...

Marriage Counseling by Greg Albrecht

Many years ago, over three decades in fact, in another life, professionally at least – another phase in my ministerial life – I spent many hours talking with young people about marriage.  Recently I was asked, by several people within a few weeks period of time, what I felt were some of my lessons learned from the thousands of hours spent with people, trying (that was my intent at least) to help prepare them for marriage.  Here are a few thoughts from those conversation, really more like interviews:  First of all, and I say this somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but it seems ironically the more I have learned about marriage the ...
