Collier / Peavy Wedding

As we come to this wonderful and joyous time today - I want to let you know I am going to take a passage of Scripture completely out of context.

But don’t faint. I can do that in this case, because the principle the verse communicates, can stand on its own - even apart from the immediate context. And it is taken from the book of Amos - Amos 3:3

Amos 3:3 ESV

“Do two walk together, unless they have agreed to meet?

The verse itself heads a list of rhetorical questions put by God to the sinning people of Israel as a very sad time in their history. Each one of those questions has one goal - to say to them: “Isn’t what I am arguing obvious?” And that is why we can build off of it today.

The statement should be SO obvious - that 2 people cannot possibly walk together unless they have agree to do so - that it needs no defense.

And it raises a key reality that applies to Christian marriage in a profound way.

As Josh and Veronica come here today - they are saying to their friends, their families, to the World and especially to their Savior - that they have agreed to walk together.

Walking together.
