January 10, Naho and I enjoyed a regional meeting with other Christians.
The kids enjoyed the science rooms in the same building.
Naho's cousin, Junko, sang with the praise team.
Pastor Mizutani* spoke on "Love and Sex." They key verse was "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh," Genesis 2:24.
My thoughts: The husband and wife are not to 'use' each other. But as Christ loved the church especially as seen at the cross and the two experience this love, they will truly love and honor each other. Here is the gospel marriage. And this message needs to be heard in Japan. The gospel of Christ can transform lives, marriages and society.
* Pastor Mizutani is a representative of a pro-life ministry in Japan.
