Sysop Ralph Blodget | [Time for the Sermonette]
| WHY GOD BELIEVES IN MARRIAGE
| by Elder Ralph Blodgett
| In life on earth there are three major
| events:
| *birth *baptism *wedding
| Tonight we are witnessing one of those
| special events, the wedding between
| a couple brought together by this new
| communication medium called "Cyberspace."
| This is not a pretend wedding,
| but a fully legal and official wedding
| of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
| (Please, hold your conversation and
| congratulations for after the
| benediction, or for the Reception
| following the wedding--in the Reception
| Hall [the Auxiliary Conf. Room].)
| One of my favorite poems related to
| marriage is the following:
| "Love is not passion, love is not pride,
| Love is a journeying side by side.
| Deeper than ecstasy, deeper than light,
| Born in the sunshine, born in the night,
| Glorious in victory, strongest in loss,
| Love is a sacrament, made for a cross."
| Interestingly we joke about a wedding as
| "tying the knot."
| But the only difference between UNITED
| and UNTIED Is where you place the "I".
| And this is true in marriage,too.
| If you put yourself (the "I") first, your
| marriage is doomed.
| I believe God has given marriage for
| three basic reasons:
| 1) the happiness of humanity
| 2) the spirituality of humanity
| 3) the growth of humanity |
| I would briefly like to talk about those
| three points tonight:
|A) MARRIAGE IS FOR THE HAPPINESS OF
| HUMANS (Gen. 2:
| "And the Lord God said, It is not good
| that the man should be alone; I will make
| him an help meet."
| And, as you know, God took a rib from
| Adam's side--indicating the woman is not
| to be trod underfoot, nor to rule over the
| man.
| Humans are social creatures: baby with
| mother, child with brothers and sisters,
| kids with schoolmates, teens with
| boyfriends and girlfriends, and adults
| with life's companion and with other
| adults.
Jolene E. Heinz | Congradulations to the happy couple,
| I give you the Irish Blessing:
Sysop Ralph Blodget | [PLEASE no conversation]
| But a successful marriage involves mutual
| trust.
| I read about a 38-year-old wife in Ohio
| who had a birthday coming up. She had been
| saving money to spend a romantic weekend
| with her husband. Just then he told her
| he was leaving on a weeklong fishing trip.
| She became so mad that he forgot her
| birthday that she went out early in the
| morning that he was going to leave and put
| 2 small nails against 2 tires on his
| 4-wheel drive off-road vehicle,
| vehicle, so they would puncture the
| tires as he drove off and produce a slow
| leak.
| She drained half the fuel out of his boat
| and added a tiny pinhole so any new
| fuel would gradually leak out. Then she
| replaced his 10-lb test line on his
| fishing rod with 2-lb test line. And she
| removed his fishing license from the
| glove compartment.
| As he left on the trip, she began to feel
| guilty. Then on her birthday he called
| home. He said he had planned to come home
| early for her birthday, but his fishing
| trip turned into a disaster,
| he reported. His vehicle
| had 2 flat tires, boat fuel tank had a
| leak, and he spent so much money making
| repairs that he didn't have any left over
| for the expensive diamond necklace
| birthday present he had planned to give
| her.
| Then he explained he had entered a
| fishing tournament to win an
| all-expense-paid vacation
| for two to Disney World in Florida for
| their anniversary. And he had actually hooked
| a trophy-winning bass--one he was sure would
| win the tournament. But the line snapped
| before he could get it to the boat. And then
| he got arrested for fishing without a
| license. All the money he had was spent on
| paying his bills and fine.
| Needless to say,the wife was very embarrassed.
| Marriage needs trust. A good marriage is
| *never* an accident. It is an accomplishment
| between two individuals.
| B) MARRIAGE IS FOR THE SPIRITUALITY OF HUMANS
| Paul, while discussing marriage in 1 Cor.
| 7:39, says a woman "is at liberty to be
| married to whom she will; only in the Lord."
| Why "only in the Lord"?
| Because it is virtually impossible for
| marriage to reach the full stature of
| happiness unless the couple agree spiritually.
| Marriage is like the joining of two streams
| into a new river:
| >One stream muddy, one clear
| >One fast, the other slow
| >One shallow, the other deep
| >One straight, the other curvy
| The blending of two rivers may take many
| hundreds of miles of travel together.
| Mingling, blending, flowing.
| Over rocks, through mountains. Over steep
| precipices.
| C) MARRIAGE IS FOR THE GROWTH OF HUMANS
| I have been growing prize-winning roses for
| many years. The proper planting of a rose is a
| real science. Certain things are necessary.
| Rosebushes need several important things
| to grow properly after planting:
| * a sunny location
| * proper watering
| * peat moss when planted
| * sand (grit) when planted
| * composted fertilizer
| * and a secret ingredient: bonemeal when
| planted
| Likewise for a marriage:
| * the sunny location is God's sunshine
| * proper watering is daily tenderness by
| both partners
| * peat moss is love and encouragement
| * sand (grit) is real-life problems, faced
| together
| * composted fertilizer is nourishment by a
| Christian life--daily walking with the Lord
| * and bonemeal is backbone--the couple's
| dedication to making the marriage succeed.
| 6 RULES FOR A HAPPY MARRIAGE:
| 1) Never be angry at the same time.
| 2) Never yell at each other (unless the
| house is on fire).
| 3) If one is to win an argument, make it the
| other one.
| 4) Never bring up mistakes of the past.
| 5) At least once a day, say something kind
| to each other.
| 6) When you have done something wrong, admit
| it and ask forgiveness.
| To summarize, marriage is:
| A) for the happiness of humans
| B) for the spirituality of humans
| C) for the growth of humans
| [Time for Special Music]
| Bride and groom together
R Terwillegar GROOM | I cherish the treasure,

R Terwillegar GROOM | Music over...?
| OK
Sysop Ralph Blodget | I call upon those present
| in the Adventist Forum On-line Cyberchurch
| to witness that I, Randal Terwillegar,
| do take Rachel Twing
| to be my lawfully wedded wife
| to have and to hold from this day forward
| for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer,
| in sickness and health, and to love and to
| cherish as long as we both shall live,
| according to God's Holy ordinance. I promise
| her my love and life.
| [Groom Repeats Vow]

| [Minister reads vows, bride repeats it]
| I call upon those present
| in the Adventist Forum On-line Cyberchurch
| to witness that I, Rachel Twing,
| do take Randal Terwillegar
| to be my lawfully wedded husband

| [Bride repeats vow]
Rachel Twing-BRIDE | I call upon those present
| in the Adventist Forum On-line Cyberchurch
| to witness that I do take Randal Terwillegar
| to be my lawfully wedded husband
| to have and to hold from this day forward
| for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer,
| in sickness and health, and to love and to
| cherish as long as we both shall live,
| according to God's Holy ordinance. I promise
| him my love and life.
Sysop Ralph Blodget | What God has joined together,
| let no human put asunder.
| Forasmuch as Randal Terwillegar and Rachel
| Twing have consented together in holy
| wedlock, and have witnessed the same
| before God and this company, and thereto have
| given and promised their loyalty each to the
| other, and have declared the same by joining
| of hands,I hereby pronounce by authority
| of God's Word and the laws of this land
| that they are husband and wife.
|
[NOTE to Reader: Herman Bauman, a licensed minister for the state of
Arizona was present at the couple's house, making this a fully legal wedding for the state of Arizona.]
|
Sysop Ralph Blodget | [Benediction]
| The Lord bless you and keep you: the Lord
| make His face shine upon you,
