Voice Of Prophecy

H.M.S. Richards

Getting Married

Lift up the trumpet and loud let it ring, Jesus is coming again.

Cheer up ye pilgrims, be joyful and sing, Jesus is coming again.

This is the voice of prophecy, a voice crying in the wilderness of these modern days.

From our Voice of Prophecy studios in Los Angeles, California, we welcome you to this half hour of inspiration and music transcribed with the King's Heralds, Del Delker, Brad Braley, and HMS Richards, the voice of prophecy speaker.

Let's begin our program today by joining the quartet as we place our trust and confidence in ♪ Leaning on the everlasting arms.

I have blessed peace with my Lord so near, leaning on the everlasting arms.

Leaning on Jesus, leaning on Jesus, Safe and secure from all alarms, leaning in Jesus, leaning in Jesus, leaning on the everlasting arms.

Here now is Miss Del Delker with a song that is a description in music in that beautiful land on high.

There's a beautiful land on high, and though here I oft weep and sigh, My Jesus hath said that no tear shall be shed in that beautiful land on high, in that beautiful land I'll ♪ From earth and its cares set free ♪ ♪ My Jesus is there ♪ ♪ He has gone to prepare A place in that land for me.

Our Our Father in Heaven, We thank thee for another day of life.

We thank thee for Jesus Christ, our Lord, and his salvation.

Bless this broadcast to help people everywhere, for we ask it in Jesus' name.

Near to the heart of God, a place where sin cannot molest, near to the heart of God.

O Jesus, blessed Redeemer, sent from the heart of God, Hold us who bow before Thee, near to the heart of God.

There never was a sweeter melody, tis the melody of love.

In my heart there rings a melody, there rings a melody of love.

It will be my endless theme in glory, with the angels I will sing.

It will be a song with glorious harmony, When the chords of heaven ring.

In my heart there rings a melody, Rings a melody, Lord, heaven's harmony.

In my heart there rings a melody, rings a melody, Lord, heaven's harmony.

In my heart there rings a melody, There rings a melody of love.

And now, here is HMS Richards, the voice of prophecy speaker, whose subject today is getting married.

In her book, The Real Home, Vesta Farnsworth tells the story of Archbishop Ryan, who went to a mining district 1 day to administer confirmation to a class about to enter the Catholic Church.

During the service a nervous little girl was asked what matrimony was.

Oh, she said, it's a state of terrible torment which those who enter are compelled to undergo for a time in order to fit them for a better world.

No, no, interrupted the assistant, you're thinking of the definition of purgatory.

Whether married life becomes a blessing or a torment depends upon the persons who enter that sacred union.

Many seem to think that marriage is a state of bliss whether they try to make it that or not.

They paint an imaginary picture of married life, lovely as a summer day, but they soon awake to the realities of their dream, and sad indeed is their experience if they are not prepared for storms and tempests.

After the honeymoon is passed, the trying hour comes, if any deception has been practiced.

Now the persons really become acquainted and the business of adaptation faces them.

They must learn how to live happily and peaceably and successfully together.

This is certainly a great attainment for 2 imperfect human beings.

We know that 2 different musical instruments are not easily kept in tune.

What then can be expected of 2 human harps, each with a thousand strings needing constant adjustment and tuning to keep them in harmony.

The husband must do his part, the wife hers.

1 young wife said confidingly to her mother, You know, Mom, a woman has to be very generous when she's married.

She has to care ever so much more about someone else than about herself or her work in the world or even about how much her husband cares for her.

She must like helping out better than being helped out or she can't be happy.

Caring for someone else more than we care for ourselves or our work, or even about what the other party cares for us.

Helen Hunt Jackson expressed it this way, Oh, love is weak, Which counts the answers and the gains, Weighs all the losses and the pains, And eagerly each fond word drains of joy to seek.

When love is strong it never tarries to take heed, Or know if its return exceed its gift.

In its sweet haste no greed, no strife, belong.

It hardly asks if it be loved at all, to take so barren seems, when it can make such bliss for the beloved sake of bitter tasks.

God thinks no pain too sharp or lasting to ordain, to teach us this.

This is 1 of the important ingredients of happiness in married or single life.

If the husband obeys the scriptural command, husbands love your wives even as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it, Ephesians 5 25, he will be all that a wife can desire.

And if the wife will fill in the same Apostle's picture, she that is married careth how she may please her husband, she will be going a long way toward a happy and successful marriage.

God did not create mankind to live in loneliness and solitude.

In the very beginning, Adam had been brought forth and placed over the works of God's hands.

The Creator said, it is not good that man should be alone.

I will make him and help meet for him." Genesis 2.18.

He needed a help meet or proper or standing opposite or equal to him.

1 of America's best known and successful ministers, Clarence Edward McCartney, suggests the following 5 don'ts to young men contemplating marriage.

Since people usually can remember a negative more easily than a positive, the admonition to the young man is, don't marry a woman who does not pray.

Don't marry a bad-tempered or jealous woman.

Don't marry a woman who loves public places of pleasure and entertainment more than her home.

Don't marry a woman who cannot cook or learn to cook.

To the young woman, McCartney says, don't marry an unbeliever.

Don't marry a coffin man, a man who hides away in a room by himself and no 1 else with him.

Don't marry a peacock man, a conceited man.

Don't marry a man of low moral standards.

The marriage of Mark Twain with Olivia Langdon illustrates how unbelief in a husband may affect a believing wife in marriage.

During their first married days, they had grace at meals, read a chapter from the Bible every day, but this was soon abandoned.

Later on, the young wife confided to her sister that she had given up some of her religious convictions.

Her husband's philosophy and views depressed her and finally shook her faith in the providence of God.

At last, the day of terrible bereavement came, and she was facing the dark valley.

Then the great writer said to his suffering wife, "'Livvy, if it comforts you to lean on the Christian faith, "'do it.' But she answered, "'I can't, youth.' That was always her name for her husband.

The thought that he had destroyed his wife's faith, even though to him it was an illusion, was a terrible trial to Mark Twain in his later days.

Why, Christian friend, not take the advice of the Apostle and marry only in the Lord?

The good book says, keep thy heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life.

That's why it's so important to be careful in getting married.
