Genesis 26

(February 8, 2014)
We in our modern society tend to focus on how marriage should be about love and so forth.  And love is an important part of marriage.  But equally (if not more) important is a shared commitment to following the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Even in the times of Esau, it was clear that it was a profound mistake for Esau to marry outside the faith.  I wonder, had Esau not taken this step, whether we would be talking about the patriarchs – Abraham, Isaac, and Esau (and would he have been renamed Israel)?
