God's Plan for Marriage is to be Super Glued Together - Love Worth Finding - July 30
July 30, 2023 – God's Plan for Marriage is to be Super Glued Together
Sermon: 1175 – How to Prepare Kids for Marriage
Pray Over This
“Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”
Ponder This
The word cleave means to weld, to glue, to fasten together in an unbreakable bond. Marriage is to be God’s super glue. Divorce is a transgression of the will, the law, and the purpose of God. Parents need to teach children that divorce is never an option. Show me two people who begin their marriage with the idea that, if it doesn’t work out, they’ll get a divorce, and I’ll show you two people who are highly likely to get a divorce. Show me two people who begin a marriage with a total commitment of “no matter what,” and I’ll show you two kids who are likely to make it. When you get on the airplane of marriage, you throw away your parachute. If somebody mentions divorce, you give a blank look and say, “What does that word mean? I don’t understand that word. What language is that? We don’t even discuss that. That is not even an option. We don’t even talk about it. It is not God’s will. It is not God’s way. No to divorce.” For this cause shall a man leave his father and his mother, and he shall cleave unto his wife.
- Who do you know that has the type of marriage described in today’s passage?
- Though divorce is not God’s desire, many in the Church have experienced this painful reality. How can you encourage those who have gone through the pain of divorce?
Practice This
If you are married and have a printed dictionary, cross through the entry on divorce and show that to your spouse. Married or not, take one practical step today to bless someone who has experienced the pain of divorce.
