Hello again, Well my Sunday School class was great. There were 20 couples and we talked about Commitment. It was really a great time and I feel that the couples received it well. I will also say that while studying this topic I learned a few things myself. Commitment is not just for when everything is peaches and whipped cream. Commitment is through everything (the good, the bad, and the ugly). The commitment is not just a commitment between the Husband and the wife but it is a covenant that is made between you and God. We talked about all these things and I felt really good that I could be used by God to impart into people's lives. I give God all the glory for this. Our next class we will still be covering the commitment and what it actually looks like in a relationship. Let me start off by saying that with this past lesson and this next lesson it is not easy to speak because it requires death to the flesh. What does commitment look like in the marriage? Well let me start off by saying that it looks like flesh being burnt at the alter daily and each one willing to lay down their life for the other one. Commitment looks like one making a sacrifice for the other, taking responsibility for the marriage, for the children, for the home and for the mistakes that might be made by one. In everything that we do as a married couple we need to realize that our spouse comes before us. To live selfless towards them. I might have to put off something that I want or want to do so that my spouse can do what they need to do. If you are not ready to make a commitment then you are not ready to be married for long term, which is really how the world lives. The world treats marriage like taking a car for a test drive. If I do not like it I will just get another one. MAKE ME SICK. Now the world has such a crooked picture of a marriage that it is accepting the marriage between the same gender. Our marriage should mirror the marriage of Christ and the Church. The constant dying of self and giving of yourself for one another. Selfish living is wrong living. look at Christ, He never lived for himself but rather for the people that he served and broke bread with. Are we ready for that type of COMMITMENT?
