Marriage or Money: Which Has Become a Bigger Idol in the Church?

from 6:24

Is marriage the new idol in the church?In this powerful conversation, I'm joined by my dear friend Andrea "Rocky" Nguyen, a former background dancer with 2 DUI's struggling to find her way, who gave her life to the Lord (repentance, celibacy, and a renewed perspective), and is now a happily married wife and mother advocating for discipleship in the church.Together, we explore the subtle ways that believers (aka Christians) can honor the covenant of marriage without exalting it to the point of idolatry (just like money), and invite listeners to laugh with us as we unpack the nuances surrounding this topic.Timestamps: 0:00-9:20 - Friendship, and the connection between relationships/money9:20-23:15 - From salvation to celibacy, stepping stones and convictions23:15-33:39 - Unintended idolatry of marriage in the church33:40-35:55 - A brief deviation on aligning our desires with God's will 35:56-51:50 - Discipleship, community, and how it shapes those in the waiting51:51-55:09- Paul's nuanced perspective on marriage vs singleness55:10-1:01:28 - A man that loves you < A man that loves God1:01:29 - Praying outWhether you're single, married, or somewhere in between, this episode is an invitation to an honest examination of wht's driving your desires-and return to the only one worthy of your worship.Scriptures of reference: Matthew 6:24Matthew 6:291 Corinthians 7John 6:39Ephesians

Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011.Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia ) Ragged Scratch Podcast Ragged Foils The Ragged Scratch Podcast is a new writing night… in podcast form!
