Christmas is our time to celebrate Jesus, our Emmanuel—God with us. But it really doesn’t matter what day it is that we commemorate His coming.

So, on the next Treasured Truth, Pastor Ford will remind us that we should celebrate that truth and the hope of Christmas every day of the year!

At the time of Jesus’ birth, the Jews were expecting a king to be born, who was promised to them in the Old Testament. But they missed their King because He was not born in the pomp and circumstance they were expecting, but in poverty. He was not born to a princess, but to a peasant. And He was not born in a palace. Instead, He was born in a humble barn. And on the next Treasured Truth, Pastor Ford will continue a study from Matthew chapter 1, as we look forward to Christmas and celebrate the birth of Jesus.

On the next Treasured Truth, Pastor Ford will explain that the foundation of a Christian marriage is being “equally yoked,” meaning both people have a genuine faith in Jesus Christ. That’s where you start. And that awareness should be established at the beginning of the relationship. So once we find a person who professes faith in Christ, who we want to pursue a relationship with, then we should find out if their faith is truly genuine before committing to them in marriage.

According to Pastor Ford, there are certain things we need when we’re seeking to build a godly relationship. From the beginning of our relationship and especially in our marriage—we need someone who will not give up on us, but who will instead commit to give up for us. We need to seek someone who understands that sacrifice is part of a relationship. And we need to be willing to become sacrificial ourselves as we take part in the relationship.

The thing that separates a good marriage from all other marriages, is the ability of the couple to deal with conflict. And on the next Treasured Truth, Pastor Ford will help us understand that if we don’t deal with conflict in our marriage biblically, then conflict will deal with us.

On the next Treasured Truth, Pastor Ford will remind us that if we will give God our marriage relationship, then God will make sure that we have the quality relationship that He wants us to have. But we don’t start the process of surrendering our relationship to God when we get married. We should start it before we get married.

When you join us for today's Treasured Truth, Pastor Ford will have some suggestions to help us when we are analyzing the commitment level of a person in a relationship. He’ll suggest that one thing we need to do is try to see how that person behaves in a crisis. Why? Because it’s easy to keep a commitment when there’s no drama. But what does a person do when there’s drama? We need to know that the person will stick around during a crisis and that they made the decision to commit to a relationship based on counting the cost.

This Christmas, Pastor Ford wants to remind us that we can believe the promises of God, because the baby in the manger is “Deity in a diaper.” God came in the flesh, fulfilling the promises in the Old Testament, and He kept His word that had been spoken through the prophets over the centuries. And that is something to rejoice about!

A lot of people are in relationships with people who are “photo-shopped.” They’re not really who they appear to be. What they have on is a whole lot of make-up and a costume designed to impress. And unfortunately, you can’t see them for who they really are until after you marry them. So, when you join us for the next Treasured Truth, we’ll be encouraged by Pastor Ford to dig deep and find out who the person really is before committing to them in marriage. So, be sure to join us as we continue our teaching series from the book of Ruth called “Principles for Good and Godly Relationships.” Treasured Truth is a listener supported program on Moody Radio.

When you join us for the next Treasured Truth, we’ll learn that God has designed for marriage to be a union of two forgivers. And Pastor Ford will help us understand that whatever we have to forgive to fulfill the vow that we made—until death do us part—that’s the kind of commitment that we’re supposed to have in our marriage.

On the next Treasured Truth, we’ll continue our study in the book of Ruth. Pastor Ford will describe how many of us date our spouse to marry them, instead of marrying our spouse with the intention of dating them the rest of our lives. And what we fail to realize is that we have to put as much or more effort into keeping our spouse as we did into getting them in the first place.

We can be certain that God can heal a broken heart. We just need to give Him all the pieces. And especially before marriage, we need to make sure that we’re whole. Why? Because, if we’re broken and if our potential spouse is broken, then our marriage is not going to be whole. And when you join us for the next Treasured Truth, Pastor Ford will explain that we need to realize that a half a man and a half a woman equals one whole mess!

When you join us for the next Treasured Truth, Pastor Ford will explain there is a difference between attraction and attachment in relationships. The physical is meant to attract you to someone but not attach you to them. That’s because some people look a certain way without truly being who you think they are. Some folks pretend to be someone who they never intend to truly be. So we need to be sure to dig deep and find out who they really are before we make a commitment.

Sixteen times in the book of Matthew, the Apostle uses the phrase, “This was to fulfill what the Lord had said by the mouth of the prophet.” And on the next Treasured Truth, as we begin a new study looking at the lineage of Jesus, we’ll find that the genealogy Matthew provides validates the prophecies about the Messiah and is proof that we can trust the Word of God.

On the next Treasured Truth, we’ll continue our study in the book of Ruth. And Pastor Ford will talk about the need we have today for more men and women like Boaz and Ruth, because they were faithful to do what was right before they married. And if someone is faithful in doing the right things before marriage, then it’s more likely that they’ll be faithful to do the right things after marriage.

Too many people are getting into marriage for what they can get out of the relationship. But on the next Treasured Truth, Pastor Ford will explain that we’re not supposed to be going into a marriage so that we can get something.
