This week we are in a conference at New Tribes Mission headquarters in Florida. It's always good to see people we have not seen in a long time but I have a confession to make
I was not too excited most of the conference was going to be on marriage. Of course I was sure we would pick up some new resources to give to those young married couples we meet with.
The first DVD and chapter one of the work book was titled, Love Happens, God Purpose and Plan. Good stuff, nothing I did not know already but good reminders.
Second chapter, Love Fades, Overcoming Isolation. This is where my breathe was taken from me as I watch the best illustration of Genesis 3. I don't know where you are in your marriage, but 49 years later God drove the results of the fall deeper into my heart so I would receive only God and His word would free me from those results. I hope you can take the few minutes it takes to watch this video.
Thanks God we do not have to live all the time in the results of the fall. The results of the cross is where we should park our marriage and any relationship and stay there till there is a break through.
It left me with feeling a great sense of gratitude for the cross. That is truly where relationships are healed.

ReplyDeleteBetty! So you've been in Florida and visiting from there - I thought it was you when I saw the "New Tribes" addressing show up in my admin section.
ReplyDeleteThe mini-movie? *So* well done - thanks for sharing this!
We were in
ReplyDeleteFlorida, now we are Dallas, Texas trying to get back to
St. Louis, flying standby. Glad you like the video...the whole conference on marriage and grief was great. Our mission is good at giving us resources to use in our ministry. Thanks for stopping by.
That was powerful in speech and art. I think part of our gift is to still be able to learn and grow in maturity, knowledge, and heart, regardless of age. We have Hope! Thanks for the example, sister.
ReplyDeleteFloyd...this clip was part of what was shown in the marriage part of the conference to illustrate again the after effect of sin. Till Jesus comes will we fall back into those ways unless we learn to repent, ask forgiveness and leave our shame and guilt at the cross. thanks for commenting brother.
ReplyDeleteI've seen this before, but enjoyed re-watching it. It's powerful. Love her voice and the painting is so powerful!
ReplyDeleteThanks
ReplyDeleteTC for stopping by. For me it was probably one of the most powerful film clip on Gen 3 I had ever seen.
