When No Advantage is Gained: Godly People Are Content People (4 of 4)
Series: One: God on Marriage & Singleness
Scott Maze
1 Corinthians 7:17-24
We are discussing marriage, singles, and God's instructions for each throughout this series. To the married, I have two goals for the series:
1) to convince that great marriages begin with a picture of God's definition of marriage - Christ and His church;
2) to challenge you to do whatever it takes to achieve a great marriage in order to call people's attention to the ultimate great marriage - Christ and His Church
Do we control our destiny or do unseen forces manipulate us? That's the question behind this past Friday's new release, the movie The Adjustment Bureau. The Adjustment Bureau is described as a romantic science fiction thriller featuring movie star Matt Damon. Damon plays a charismatic politician running for the United States Senate. On the campaign trail, he falls in love with a free-spirited ballet dancer. His pursuit of her is interrupted as he arrives to work one day only to see his boss frozen. As the boss sits motionless behind a large table, he is examined by strange men wearing suits. The men wearing suits tell Damon they have a plan for his life, a plan strategically devised by someone they call ''The Chairmen.'' Their plan does not include falling in love with the ballet dancer. Throughout the movie, they chase him wherever he goes. They are determined to guide his life according to ''The Chairman's'' plan. Damon is equally determined to follow his passion for the young girl. As they work to separate the two, Damon searches for years to find her again. Do we control our destiny or do unseen forces manipulate us? While no such person as ''The Chairman'' exists, the Bible portrays a kind, loving heavenly Father who exercises control of a believer's life according to His wise plans. We'll return to this question is a few moments.
