^{Excerpt from Lasting Love by Alistair Begg:}

The original plan of marriage was God’s idea. Marriage is of divine origin. It is not, as many young people choose to believe, an institution that human beings dreamed up. If it were, then of course it could be revamped or even set aside. It is therefore imperative that we begin by understanding and submitting ourselves to what the Bible teaches concerning the origin of marriage. At the same time it is vital that we understand the purposes for which God has ordained marriage.

One-half of all marriages end in divorce. It’s a bleak picture and, unfortunately, Christian marriages suffer from the same rate of failure.

What was it like to have a face-to-face encounter with Jesus? From the physically broken man of Mark 2, to the devoted religionist of John 3, to the promiscuous woman of John 4, Jesus personally engages each unlikely individual and the results are extraordinary.

God is the author of the Bible and the creator of its readers—but until we accept His Word’s authority, we will not defer to it, especially when it runs counter to the expectations of modern-day culture. Building on this foundational truth, Alistair Begg explores what the Bible has to say about God’s design for women. In this series, we encounter challenging questions that arise as the Bible speaks with clarity into our time and place. With God’s Word as our foundation, we discover that godly women make a powerful difference in their families, churches, and communities.

In today’s church, some of the most alarming statistics relate to the crumbling of Christian marriages. In this series, we are reminded that God is the author of marriage and has provided wonderfully practical instruction for single people, husbands, and wives alike. Alistair Begg offers useful biblical advice on finding a spouse, preparing for the wedding day, and building a marriage that lasts a lifetime. Relationships are a fact of life, but no human relationship should be a distraction or hindrance to our commitment to Jesus Christ. God’s Word helps us to guard against allowing our emotions to control how we live out our lives and guides us into relationships that glorify Him.

The challenge for today’s churches to remain rooted in the truth of the Gospel is not new. In fact, the church in Colossae during the days of the Apostle Paul was influenced by many worldly falsehoods, including superstition, mythology and even simple error in doctrinal translation. In his letter to the Colossians, Paul imposes two key messages which are as applicable today as they were then. First, he re-confirms that all things were created and hold together through Jesus Christ and that we must walk with Him and hold steadfast to our faith in His saving power. Paul then provides practical application for Christian living which we can still look to as a continual source of direction and guidance.
