Daily Dose of Logos | #15 – with Pastor Roger Feenstra

“And whatsoever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and Father by him.” Colossians 1:17

If Colossians 1:17 serves as the introduction to family relationships (the subsequent verses, 18ff, discuss the role of husbands and wives), then the key to a healthy and happy marriage and family is to do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus.

Today is our 49th wedding anniversary. It feels like yesterday when we stood at the altar, me in my 1970s white tuxedo and Carol in her stunning wedding dress. We were young and excited to face our future together.

Marriages have challenges (mostly caused by me, heehee), but ours have become fewer and irrelevant over the years. We always honored our commitment and resisted pressures from the outside world. Young people today give up too easily. Our union has been a blessing for almost five decades.

The secret to our lasting and loving marriage lies in following biblical principles as husband and wife.

Now, let’s move forward to fifty!
