Show Notes:

God invented marriage. It was created by God and for God. Marriage belongs to God; and the Word of God defines it. It is the only place sexual intimacy is made holy.

 

There is a sexual perversion and breakdown of God-ordained marriage; and Christians are expected to accept it. As a culture, we have stepped far outside the perimeters God set for intimacy. What we are now seeing is the judgment of God.

 

We have no understanding of “covenant” in our generation. There needs to be a sobriety around marriage, and it shouldn’t be entered into lightly.

 

In marriage, two become one as the souls knit together. Divorce wreaks absolute havoc in hearts and minds. There’s a fragmentation of the soul. The damage done emotionally and mentally with divorce is huge.

 

Jesus gave one root cause for why marriages fall apart and divorce happens. That reason is a hardness of heart. It’s when we are past feeling and lose the sensitivity of heart. And the bible gives several causes for a hardness of heart: Lack of fear for the Lord, Religion, Unbelief, and Sin.

 

The one cure for a hard heart is repentance. Repent. Change your thinking, then change your actions.

 

We need to let the fear of the Lord govern of our soul and marriage by putting restraints and building perimeters. In Jesus Christ, all marriages can be fixed, healed, and raised from the dead.
