Knowing God's Purpose in Our Marriages - Zac Poonen - April 7, 2012
Zac Poonen · Apr 15, 2012
The speaker contrasts the revelation of God's purpose in the Old Covenant versus the New Covenant, noting that while Old Testament prophets' personal lives were largely irrelevant to their ministry, the New Covenant places significant emphasis on a believer's home life. Specifically, the speaker cites 1 Timothy 3, detailing that an elder must be above reproach, temperate, and capable of managing their own family well, a standard that would disqualify many Old Testament figures.
