By Paul Washer
"In the book of Romans chapter eight verse 28 the Bible says:
And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to
those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.
For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed
to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many
brethren."

to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many
brethren."
Although I know that there is an entire congregation here and that when the Word goes
forth it goes forth to all, but my principle endeavor this afternoon is to speak to two
people who are very dear to me who are going to make one of the greatest decision of
their lives today.
Sometimes in preaching the gospel we want to say, “Who is competent for these things?”
But standing here today I ask myself the same question. “Who is competent to speak to
you regarding the greatest of all endeavors for man to take a wife?”
I have found that through my life it is quite easy to become a missionary. It is quite easy
to follow the gospel call, relatively speaking. It is quite easy to be spiritual to even the
most remote people group. What is the most difficult task I have found, is to be the man
that I ought to be with the woman that must mean more to me than all other things on this
earth put together, including ministry and preaching.
I remember years ago a young person came to me and they said, “I want to be a
missionary in China.”
