Two of our friends were married on Saturday at Harvest. I had never been to such a wedding as this in all my life. Chassidi and Brion, friends over the past two years, began to realize this past fall that God was kindling a flame beyond friendship. Early on in this realization, in order to ensure honoring Christ and to ensure that they hear the voice of God for their relationship, they covenanted together a vow of purity....not even a kiss would they share so that they could clearly discern God's will for their relationship, honor Him with their bodies, and stay free from the power and pull of the physical relationship. Their first kiss was at their wedding after being pronounced husband and wife. This was such a radical and counter-cultural message to our sex-saturated, media-induced mindsets on love and relationship. A witness that I am sure will stick deep in the memories of the young people who were at this wedding.
How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word. Ps.119:9
