As the Lord allows, this coming Lord’s Day morning, I will begin a six-week series entitled “Marriage Matters” with an introductory sermon covering the primary issues about marriage. Please read the following verses and think about these key questions…

Genesis 2:18-24; 1st Peter 1:20-21; Hebrews 4:1-2; 1st Thessalonians 2:13 (KJV); Mark 10:6-9; Ephesians 6:4; and 1st Corinthians 6:9-11

Would not the One Who conceived, created, and sustains an institution be the logical source of instructions about how that institution will best function?

As important as marriage is to humans as individuals, couples, and a society, should we not expect the Creator of marriage to prepare, provide, and preserve a “perfect operations manual” for it?

If we ignore such an “operations manual” should we not expect problems?

What if the instructions are really, really simple? Should we assume them to be sufficient, or should we continually reinterpret and reapply them?

What do these instructions say about the children?

If the Creator of marriage has provided a perfect guide whereby to maintain a marriage, why do so many people hate the very idea of “Biblical Marriage” and those who espouse it?

Finally, what happens to the individuals, families, and society if God-haters succeed in their efforts to redefine and ultimately remove the entire concept and practice of Biblical Marriage?

I hope to see you Sunday with a smile on your face, your Bible in your hand, and your family and friends by your side!
