Five Ways to Make Easter Holy Easter is many things. To us it is a HOLY DAY How can we make Easter Holy? Be involved in your church by serving. Remember that Jesus really did die for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day. Have you trusted in Him to be your God and Savior? Have you been born again through Him? Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved. For whoever will call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Jesus Himself borew our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness, by whose stripes you were healed. For Christ has once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God. For God made Him, who knew no sin, to be sin for us, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. Bethlie and I wish you a happy Easter week and we hope that you too will make Easter Holy!

In this episode, Dave and Bethlie delve into a topic that's essential yet often overlooked in Christian weddings: the balance between the secular and the sacred. Throughout the conversation, they emphasize various facets of Christian weddings that they believe require a deeper reflection. They encourage you to consider the implications of elements such as alcohol, dancing, music, pranks, and the importance of modesty in the context of sacred Christian ceremonies. As you listen to this episode, we challenge you to rethink the elements of your Christian wedding. We remind you that it's a sacred event and should be a reflection of your faith and commitment to biblical principles. Remember, your decisions shape not just a single day, but a lifetime commitment under God's grace. #ChristianWeddings, #RethinkWeddings, #SacredCeremony, #DavidYoung, #ChristianValues, #BibleTeachings Thank you to our sponsor My Pillow.

In their ongoing series, Dave and Bethlie explore the idea of a Christian wedding not just as a ceremony, but a sacred covenant. They discuss various aspects, starting from engagement to the wedding itself, and the importance of involving family and the church community in this journey. They also delve into the importance of recognizing marriage as a covenant, not simply a fairy-tale event. The focus in this episode is primarily on planning wisely. It's important to remember that a wedding is a combination of multiple elements. It starts with the best Christian premarital counseling possible, followed by thorough discussions about every aspect of your marriage in advance. They also advise you to set a budget for the wedding and stick to it. This may be challenging, but it's crucial to avoid falling into the trap of a consumerist culture that encourages overspending for a single event. Focusing on the covenant rather than the presentation is another key point we stress on. Traditionally, weddings are seen as grand affairs, often influenced by the media and culture. However, in a Christian wedding, it's the covenant that should be front and center. This doesn't mean that your wedding can't be beautiful. It can be stunningly beautiful even with simplicity, and most importantly, it's the covenant that you are making with each other before God and your witnesses that makes it truly meaningful. Planning wisely also includes thinking about the honeymoon as not just a vacation, but as the beginning of a covenant relationship. Dave and Bethlie suggest to choose a place that allows for relaxation, getting to know each other, and focusing on each other without distraction. Thank you again for joining us today. We hope you find these discussions helpful and inspiring as you rethink the idea of a Christian wedding. Stay tuned for our next episode where we will continue to explore this topic and focus on making Christian weddings distinctly sacred. #KeepingItYoungPodcast, #ChristianWeddings, #MarriageCovenant, #WeddingPlanning, #ChristianLife, #PremaritalCounseling, #Podcast, #Faith, #Family, #Ministry, #ChristianPerspective, #WeddingBudget, #ChristianMarriage Thank you to our sponsor My Pillow.
