Christ's Redemptive Nuptials: The Incomparabe Marriage Of The Lamb is an inspiring narrative portraying the incomparable marriage of Christ and the church presented in storyline form. This narrative begins in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve in presenting graphic mental images of their serene enjoyment in this scenic wonderland. Afterward, it painfully describes the deceptive incursion of Satan, and the resultant temptation of Eve and the imprudent disobedience of Adam. However, it also shows how God's great compassion leads fallen mankind to Christ, and the resultant redemption in His divine works. It also portrays how the Holy Spirit enables believers to become the church. Afterward, this narrative shifts to an enactment of one particular church as ite members await the Rapture. Then, it enacts all of the End Time events. Finally, it enacts the delightful atmosphere of heaven. Grace to all and to God be the glory!

Messy Beautiful Love delivers an incredible testimony of grace that offers hope for today’s marriages and a spark for rekindling love. Love gets messy. Financial problems, sickness, aging parents, a chronically unhappy spouse . . . trials will inevitably come that threaten your marriage. No matter how long you’ve been married or how strong your relationship is, sooner or later you are going to have a mess to clean up. Messy Beautiful Love is about cleaning up messes God’s way, exchanging your ideas for His, and being prepared for both the best and the worst that marriage has to offer. When you surrender your relationship to God, then and only then will you experience the blessing of marriage as He intended. This is the blessing of obedience. Messy Beautiful Love is an invitation to that obedience. The cynical world says marriages don’t last, but God knows better. Tune out the world and tune in to Him. When you do that, a beautiful marriage is not only possible, it’s inevitable.

Much has been written about marriage from the sociological and psychological point of view and as an object of civil and canon law. But in terms of systematic theology this treatment of marriage as a sacrament may very well be unique. Every effort has been made to keep the text from becoming too academic while at the same time providing the average educated reader with a wealth of original insights into the "mystery" of marriage: in creation and as transformed by Christ. Chapters cover sacramental consent, bond, and covenant as well as the quest for the sign. Such thorny problems as the role of faith in the sacrament, marriage with an unbaptized person, the most pressing ecumenical questions and the relationship between the sacrament and contraception are studied in depth. Finally, the "sacrament of family" is treated at some length with an eye to its social and redemptive dimensions.

The Holy Wedding is a six-week study revealing God's original intent to have a people in which He could share His love through an intimate relationship-like a marriage. God's design would eventually lead to a holy wedding between Himself and His people. We pick up the thread of this beautiful picture in Genesis and follow it through all the way to Revelation. The Bible employs various imagery in describing God's people, but the most intimate and affection portrayal is that of a bride. Realizing God loves His bride passionately, emotionally, longingly, protectively, faithfully, and jealously is essential because it is transforming. A power is awakened when our hearts are assured that we are deeply loved as there is no fear in love; perfect love drives out fear (1 John 4:18). This is a love to be cherished! I hope you will join me in exploring the magnificent story of Christ and His Bride as we anticipate the day that we will behold our Bridegroom face-to-face.

In heaven, a glorious marriage awaits! Expectations mount. Excitement is everywhere. God has not spared even the tiniest of details. Everything is complete. As the church eagerly anticipates the return of her Bridegroom, Jesus Christ, thoughts of how to prepare for the royal celebration confront believers. What does one do to be ready for the eminent arrival of the King of kings? Love Is the Commitment: Protocol Guidelines for God’s Royal Wedding contains specific keys for the bride-elect to get ready and to enrich her walk with the Holy Spirit. It includes time-tested testimonies to help Christians grow in faith and love in their personal relationships with God, family members, the church and others. The love the church has for Jesus Christ is the bond of unity that edifies His body on earth. If believers truly love Him, they will submit to His commandments and lay down their life for one another. Relationships can be the fulfillment of joy or, quite the contrary, a source of grave disappointment. By His example and wisdom, God teaches us how to build lasting relationships based on genuine love. This takes the willingness and actions of each person. As believers apply God’s kingdom principles in their daily interactions, they will witness their heavenly Father’s intervention. Love Is the Commitment encourages others to live by faith in the Son of God as they prepare for their future role alongside the King of kings. For nearly thirty years, Kathe Rumsey and Roberta Wong have continued to meet for Bible study and intercessory prayer. They wish to share the fruit of this time with the body of Christ. Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and His wife hath made herself ready. —Revelation 19:7

Marital Imagery in the Bible. It can only be imagined that when the New Testament writers made their (albeit brief) comments on divorce and remarriage that they assumed they would be understood. So what has gone wrong? In the years after the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE, when Graeco-Roman culture was at its height, the Jewish perspective of marriage and divorce, and thus the context of those brief New Testament comments was lost. The Christian church of that era was influenced by the neoplatonic ideas of the day, and an idealised concept of marriage developed from on Adam and Eve''s marriage recorded in Genesis 2:23--it was love at first sight, a marriage made in heaven. These concepts frame an understanding of marriage in much of Western culture even today. However, that was never the understanding of ancient Israel. Instead they looked to Genesis 2:24: ''Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh''--so a naturally born man chooses a wife for himself, and their union was based on a ''covenant''--in other words an agreement. The Old Testament makes it clear what the basis of that agreement was. Furthermore, it is clear, if that agreement was broken, there could be a divorce and a remarriage. All the Bible''s marital imagery (where the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures imagine that God is married to his people) is based on that understanding of human marriage. But so strong is our concept of marriage, that when Genesis 2:24 is referred to in the New Testament, it is thought that the reference is to Adam and Eve''s marriage. It is a paradigmatic marriage that for many excludes (or greatly restricts) the possibility of divorce and remarriage. This study looks to challenge that paradigm--and to suggest that the New Testament writers would not have employed an imagery which had at its center divorce and remarriage, only to deny the possibility of such in their own human marriage teaching. Colin Hamer''s thesis represents the only recent work on metaphor theory in biblical scholarship. It challenges centuries of academic scholarship and ecclesiastical assumptions about divorce. Hamer''s detailed and well researched analysis challenges the consensus view that the marriage of Adam and Eve in Gen 2:24 represents an ontological unity, suggesting important implications for contemporary Christian teaching on marriage and divorce. ""This book makes a crucial contribution to understanding the Bible''s teaching on marriage, divorce and remarriage. Colin builds on studies on the Divine marriage (God''s relationship with his people, Israel; and Christ''s relationship to the Church). He uses a brilliantly logical and clear cross-mapping methodology to show how the Divine marriage relates to volitional human marriage in Gen 2:24. Colin then used this unique approach to grapple with the whole of the Bible''s teaching on marriage, divorce and remarriage, while still tackling key texts in depth. The result is that Colin has made a strong challenge to traditional views on divorce and remarriage, and goes on to provide a view that is solidly grounded in the Bible, rather than just using common wisdom. I also highly recommend the chapters on the Divine marriage for understanding the Bible''s redemption story-line. It helps the reader by understand what God is doing with his people in both testaments, and the implications of how God''s people were treating Him. Although this is a technical study, it is a very rewarding read."" --H. Davis on amazon.co.uk ""In this important and thoroughly researched thesis, Dr Hamer has resolved the conundrum of God''s concern for marriage and the texts of scripture that appear to give conflicting instructions about people who are divorced. It provides a vitally important insight into God''s healing solution for those who, like Himself, have experienced the rejection of their love."" --Rev Dr Tom Holland, Senior Research Fellow, The Wales Evangelical School of T

Right from the very beginning in eternity past, God had planned history with His Son having a bride, a companion that would co-reign with Him and enjoy Him forever. That is the eternal purpose of God in creating a bride for His Son. If you read the Scripture from cover to cover, you would discover that God teaches us in a variety of different ways. Sometimes God uses powerful word pictures, sometimes He uses symbols, sometimes He uses examples of people both good and bad. Sometimes God uses a direct word, an authoritative word, sometimes He uses examples from nature, like a tree planted by the rivers of water that will not cease to bear fruit. This book highlights how God gave us an example of an ancient Jewish wedding ceremony that correlates with Christ, the Bridegroom, and His bride the church. From the father choosing a bride for his son, paying the bridal price, the bridegroom snatching his bride and bringing her to the bridal chamber, and then finally co-reigning with him in their household with him as the head. It is absolutely amazing the correlation between the two. What was a mystery to the Jews has been revealed. The mystery was that both Jew and Gentile called the church would be the bride of Christ. The bride of Christ is describing the kind of relationship we can have with Jesus. God is seeking willing lovers, who would voluntarily seek His heart, voluntarily surrender to Him, and voluntarily love Him with all their heart, soul and mind, and strength.

This book offers a fresh report and interpretation of what is happening at the intersection of two great contemporary movements: the rapid growth of higher education worldwide and the rise of world Christianity. It features on-site, evaluative studies by scholars from Africa, Asia, North America, and South America. Christian Higher Education: A Global Reconnaissance visits some of the hotspots of Christian university development, such as South Korea, Kenya, and Nigeria, and compares what is happening there to places in Canada, the United States, and Europe, where Christian higher education has a longer history. Very little research until now has examined the scope and direction of Christian higher education throughout the world, so this volume fills a real gap.
