God's Wisdom for Marriage & the Home by Pastor Scott Markle

God's Wisdom for Marriage & the Home by Pastor Scott Markle

Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established. Proverbs 24:3 Brethren, how important is it for us to know, understand, and follow God's wisdom concerning the home? Certainly all of us in one manner or another, either as a child, as a spouse, as a parent, or as a sibling, have had, and may yet have, a relationship with the home. In fact, most of us expect to have some relationship with the home for the entire extent of our lives. Thus the home is a significant element of our lives from beginning to end. Furthermore, the marriage relationship itself is of primary significance in most of our lives. Yes, our Lord does indeed call some to be single. Yet the majority of us will enter into the marriage relationship, and for most of us that relationship will extend over the majority of our lives. Yea, even before we enter into the marriage relationship, we generally spend some period of time thinking about, planning for, and developing relationships that might lead to marriage. Thus the marriage relationship is indeed a significant element in our lives. Finally, the marriage and home relationships are the foundational building blocks of society. As goes the marriage, so goes the home. As goes the home; so goes the church, and so goes the country. Since marriage and the home are so significant to our existence in this present life, certainly it is of great importance that we find trustworthy guidance concerning their success. How much more trustworthy guidance may we find than that of the wisdom of the Lord our God

Pastor Scott Markle (1971-present) started Shepherding the Flock Ministries (www.shepherdingtheflock.com) in 2010 as a ministry intended to exalt the name of Jesus Christ and the truth of God's Word through book publication, blogging material, and Bible ministry. He has served the Lord his God and Savior in pastoral ministry since 1992, and has served as the pastor of Melvin Baptist Church, a small country church in the thumb area of Michigan, since 1998. He has been joyfully married to his beloved wife Kerry since 1993; and they have been blessed of the Lord with two sons, Padraic and Westley. Pastor Markle's life-verses are Philippians 3:8 and John 15:4-5. Yea, doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine: no more can ye except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches. He that abideth in, and I in him, the same bringeth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. The burden of Pastor Markle's life is to pursue the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus [his] Lord and to walk daily abiding in Christ, and Christ in him. Concerning all his ministry, it is the burden of Pastor Markle's heart to exalt, not himself, but the name of Jesus Christ and the truth of God's Word. It is his burden that Christ must increase, while he must decrease. Therefore, he maintains the policy that his name, as the author of a book, must remain smaller, while the phrase, For the Glory of the Lord, must stand larger above it.
