Vows—do they mean anything today? Most of you who are married have made vows something like the following:
“O lord my God, thou art very great;. . . who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever. Thou hast set a bound that they [the waters] may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth” (Psalm 104:1, 5, 9). Tectonic, according to the dictionary, refers to a “carpenter, builder” (a technic). “Designating, of or pertaining to changes in the structure of the earth’s crust, the forces responsible for such deformation, or the external forms produced.” Of course God is that great carpenter and builder of the earth. “All things were made by him” (John 1:3), and He continually sustains them, “upholding all things by the word of his power” (Hebrews 1:3).
