We're Seeing If We're Compatible

Honor God With Your Sexuality:
We’re seeing if we’re compatible

"Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure,
for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral."  Hebrews 13:4

If you are old enough to remember President Kennedy, then you are old enough to have witnessed a transformation in American society: the change from general embarrassment and shame about “shacking up” to almost complete societal approval given to unmarried couples living together.

What do people give as a rationale? “We wanted to see if we’re compatible.” “We need to save money.” “Since we will ultimately probably break up anyway, it will hurt less than an actual divorce.” And for older couples: “If we get married, one of us will lose some Social Security benefits.”

God remains unconvinced. In fact, he is enraged by this casual trashing of his creation plan. “Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral” (Hebrews 13:4). Surely you have enough problems in your life without inviting even more judgment from God. Surely by now you have learned to trust God to tell you the truth--that his blessings will be upon people who honor marriage and keep their beds pure.

Make sure your children and grandchildren know this. God bless
