Join together6/11/2023 ![]() ![]() I don't think Pete did much with those sequencing things that he couldn't have done on his guitar anyway. I love the guitar to me it's the perfect rock instrument. I felt that, with a lot of songs, we'd end up spending so much time creating these piddly one-note noises that it would've been better just doing it on guitar. But at the time I was still very doubtful about bringing in the synthesizer. I quite like it as a single, it's got a good energy to it. He literally wrote it the night before we recorded it. I remember when Pete came up with "Join Together". The band's lead singer, Roger Daltrey, remembers the song positively, but claims that he was initially skeptical about using synthesizer. The song was recorded on the same day as "Relay" (its follow-up single) and a demo of " Long Live Rock" in May 1972. Following the abandoning of Lifehouse, "Join Together", as well as other songs initially intended to appear on the album, was used in the working track list of another canceled Who album, Rock Is Dead-Long Live Rock!. "Join Together", under the working title of "Join Together With the Band", was originally intended to be released as part of the Lifehouse album, but upon the album's shelving, the song was temporarily abandoned. "Join Together" is also notable for its roots in The Who's abandoned Lifehouse album, a quality shared by another of The Who's 1972 singles, " Relay". The song has since been performed live multiple times and has appeared on numerous compilation albums. Happiness is not the goal of Christian marriage, but it will usually be a bi-product of true faithfulness to God, truth, and one another." Join Together" is a song by British rock band the Who, first released as a non-album single in June 1972. If only more married couples would take seriously the vows they took to God and one another, they would find that given time and the chance to mature and grow wise, God can make a happy marriage, especially when two committed Christians participate. In our sin, we are often foolish, especially when we are young. ![]() ![]() If God cannot create an unbreakable bond, who can? One of the sins humanity will be judged for is the lack of seriousness toward this rule. Traditionally, a marriage contract is written, followed by a ceremony of some kind, and the consummation finalizes the union, being the ultimate expression of conjugal oneness. The first couple was joined by God when Eve was presented to Adam and he took her as his wife. This is the grounds for the present statement. The previous statement made by Christ is that any provision for divorce in the Law of Moses was given because of the hardness of the hearts of his people, but that God had joined man and woman together as one flesh, and as such, they are to leave their parents and cleave to one another. This has been a tragedy for humanity, an affront to God, and comes at a tremendous cost, especially to the children with which God has entrusted us. With this view, if a marriage ceases to cause happiness, then it should be forsaken. Nevertheless, the marriage bond should be the strongest of unions, and recent sociological innovations such as no-fault divorce and even birth control (itself not necessarily a bad thing) have led to a revisionist view that says rather than for the population of the world with godly offspring (Gen 1:28), and the illustration to the world of both the union of the Trinity and the mystery that is the relationship between Christ and his bride, the Church (Eph 5:32), marriage is for happiness. The supporters of this view would say that the bond was already broken by the adulterer. Many scholars agree that Christ made an exception for cases of adultery, but others interpret the Word to even exclude adultery as a proper reason to break the bond (Mal 2:16). The biblical conjugal view of marriage is that it is to endure until the death of one of the spouses. On these grounds, Christ proclaimed that no one should separate a marriage union. From this, he fashioned the woman and presented her to her husband who said, “‘This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.’ That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh” (Gen 2:23-24). The very first human relationship established by God was a marriage presided over by God himself when he caused Adam to fall into a deep sleep and removed his rib. “Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” Explanation and Commentary of Mark 10:9
