Some Thoughts on Christian Marriage, an extract from God is a Matchmaker by Derek & Ruth Prince
1. God
Himself initiated marriage at the beginning of human history. Adam had no part
in planning it. Without divine revelation, man cannot understand it; much less
make it a part of his experience.
2. The
decision that the man was to marry proceeded from God, not from the man.
3. God
knew the kind of helper that the man needed. The man did not
4. God
prepared the woman for the man
5. God
presented the woman to the man. The man did not have to go in search for her
6. God
ordained the nature of their life together. Its end purpose was unity
7. Jesus
upheld God's original plan of marriage as binding on all who would become His
disciples. It is still in force today
Some
additional thoughts, also from God are a Matchmaker:-
§ That a Christian will enter into
marriage not because it is his or her decision, but because it's God's.
§ That a Christian man will trust God
both to choose and to prepare the wife he needs. On the other side, a
Christian woman will trust God to prepare her for the husband for whom God has
appointed her.
§ That a Christian man, walking in the
will of God, will find that God brings to him the wife whom He has chosen and
prepared for him. On the other side, a Christian woman will allow God to
lead her to the husband for whom he has been preparing for her.
§ That the end purpose of marriage
today is still what is was for Adam & Eve: perfect unity. Only those who
fulfil the first three requirements , however, can expect also to enjoy the
fulfilment of the end purpose

I'm a Christian. I voted to leave. And I don't regret it. Premier Christianity
Jun 2016
Peter D Williams explains why his Christian values led him to vote to
Leave and why he believes the UK's future is better out than
in.
Last Thursday, the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union. As
a Christian Brexiteer, I’m delighted, but not every one of my brothers and
sisters in Christ share my elation. Many of them perceive voting to
Leave as an endorsement of an anti-Christian politics of fear, xenophobia, and
prejudice, one that rejects peace, unity, and international brotherhood.
Suffice it to say, I think they are mistaken. Despite the brief division and
disappointment, in the long run this historic decision is a good thing for
Christian values, one that is in keeping with the counter-cultural nature of
our faith.
Whether Britain should have been a member of the EU was not, contrary to
what the main campaigns would have had you believe, about the economy, or
immigration. Nor was the debate about whether or not you like Europe or
Europeans, or whether or not you like either the Leave or Remain campaigns and
how they prosecuted their respective cases.
