The institution of marriage is not a casual one. The study
of marriage, family and the home is the most fundamental and basic institution
in society. The founding of the home preceded human government and the founding
of the church. This is because the home is basic or fundamental.
Today, there is a lot of effort to improve government and
the church, but not much "good" emphasis on the improvement of the
home.
Today it is imperative that we bring our homes in line using
Biblical perspectives.
The home is of Diving origin. It is not a man made
institution. To have the home operate properly they must conform to Biblical
standards and practices. The humanistic philosophy of today's society has no
place in the operation of the home. In fact it is detrimental and is designed
to destroy a Biblical home. God has been very careful to describe the roles of
every member of the family through His Word. To disregard His pattern, practices
and principles for the home will result in chaos and destruction. This will result in defeat of the home and be
realized in the church and in our governments. This we are seeing so clearly
today through the "bathroom rule" same sex marriages and endorsement
of our government of transgenderism and of course abortion. .
Never have I seen such an attack on the Biblical home. We
have always possessed our fallen human nature
but it has never expressed itself in so many visible sins. We have never seen
in our lifetime such as consecrated effort to destroy the home. Some today are
advocating doing away with the home and marriage altogether. I will be writing
from time to time about marriage and the home. Not everything I write is original
with me. In fact I don't have an original bone in my body.
I get a little perturbed with some writing about Biblical
homes and marriages today when their own home and marriages are in shambles. You
don't have to go through a divorce to be able to preach on marriage and
divorce. One doesn't have to lose their children to the world to be an expert
on the home. Yet many today are doing that very thing, in fact some are using
their failed marriages and homes as credentials. By the Lords help I will try to be a help to
you and show Biblically how to have a Godly Christ honoring home.
