Marriage is real. We didn’t create it, we didn’t invent it, we can’t change it, we can only live it out. It has a definition which doesn’t depend upon the day or the hour. It has a vital morality which exists despite the depravity of the age or the family. It is a part of a reflection of God Himself, we cannot arrogantly expect to be able to redefine the image.
It is not our job to redefine marriage, or to adapt marriage, or to (God forbid!) evolve marriage, but to live marriage. To play our role, and play it well. To glorify God, and not ourselves.
Thank you for reading Von’s Substack. I would love it if you commented! I love hearing from readers, especially critical comments. I would love to start more letter exchanges, so if there’s a subject you’re interested in, get writing and tag me!
Being ‘restacked’ and mentioned in ‘notes’ is very important for lesser-known stacks so… feel free! I’m semi-retired and write as a ministry (and for fun) so you don’t need to feel guilty you aren’t paying for anything, but if you enjoy my writing (even if you dramatically disagree with it), then restack, please! Or mention me in one of your own posts.
If I don’t write you back it is almost certain that I didn’t see it, so please feel free to comment and link to your post. Or if you just think I would be interested in your post!
Thanks again, God Bless, Soli Deo gloria,
Von
