You may have seen their show.
It's called Fixer Upper.
And on the program Chip and Joanna Gaines go through the process of transforming an older, out of date house into a beautiful home for one happy couple.
The show is fun to watch... and
popular.
It's a good, inspiring example of dominion work too!
There's really a lot to like about this program.
... But all of a sudden the Gaines are taking some heat.
Why?
Because they attend a church where the pastor is
opposed to same-sex marriage and believes homosexuality is a sin.
How about that... a pastor that believes the Bible!
Anyway...
Stories like this make me sigh.
They reveal that if we can't get marriage right... boy we've got a long way to go...
In the very beginning God issued the Dominion Mandate to a MAN and WOMAN (Gen.1:27)...
And He told them to be fruitful and multiply... and rule the earth and subdue it.
Since then, nothing's changed...
That is... this charge to men and women is still in force... making marriage at the foundation of the
Dominion Mandate.
And it's something the Gaines family appears to be fulfilling quite faithfully.
So... let's lay off the Gaines.
Let's admire them and learn from them instead.
