Ulog #125 Wedding

in #ulog5 years ago

After a long weekend of travel and resting this morning, I delivered the Bible message at a wedding between an American and a local Filipino woman.

Here are a few photos from my vantage point as a member of the officiating ministers at the wedding. The wedding took place at a seaside resort.

The groom behind us and my pastor friend and translator as the audience was mostly Filipino as we are in the Philippines.

It was great to be part of this marriage ceremony in a foreign land. Also one more opportunity to share the gospel message.

Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
Eph 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
Eph 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
Eph 5:28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
Eph 5:29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
Eph 5:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
Eph 5:31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
Eph 5:32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
Eph 5:33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

Thank you for stopping by,
Daddy William
