The Devil Wants Your Marriage - Part 1
|
 A very special thank you to all who have given so generously to Capture International. Your investment has blessed marriages and families around the world. Proverbs 11:25 says, "A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed." That is our prayer for you. |
 The devil wants your marriage. Does that sound too melodramatic for you - like another shock value talk show or fire-and-brimstone-preacher trying to scare the “hell” out of you? If so, good! This is intended to be your wake up call.
As we travel around to different churches preaching and teaching on marriage, or hosting Coffee Talk for Couples, we are aghast to see how many of God’s chosen are choosing to break covenant in the area of marriage. And for the lamest of reasons: Please understand that this is not an indictment on those who have already been through the painful process of divorce. Rather this is an alarm of awareness to those who are presently married and have voluntarily made a covenant before God and people to remain so “until death do us part.” Your family is counting on you to make it. Your church expects you to make it. Society needs you to make it. We all are depending on you to make it! Marriage is the life source of a society. It is God’s first institution. In the garden God looked upon his creation and recognized it was not good for man to be alone. So he created a companion that was supposed to be rightly suited to help us go farther and higher and be more fulfilled than if we were on our own. Through marriage we are instructed to be fruitful and multiply, replenishing the earth and taking dominion over all living things. This was God’s order. So how does that seem to be working? All around us marriages are falling apart. The divorce rate is now more than fifty percent amongst first time marriages, and progressively higher for those in second or third marriages. Experts tell us there is no statistical distinction to stay married for people who go to church compared with those who don’t. Husbands and wives hurt and devastate one another. They demean and abuse and tear down. Many allege they would be better off without their spouse – and it would certainly appear to be so. With divorce so prevalent, this new generation is choosing to cohabit rather than marry; and for those who do marry, they postpone that decision to much later in life. What in the world is going on? Did God mess up? Did he botch this plan? Was he caught by surprise that things simply didn’t work out the way he had diagramed it on his celestial whiteboard? |

Benefits of Marriage: The Delightful Dozen
|
|
| The following is an abridged excerpt from the book, "Does Anyone Speak Female?" written by Ron Biagini.
Marriage is a blessing from God. It was never intended to be drudgery or one’s cross to bear through life. On the contrary, it should be a privilege and an honor. There are many benefits the married person may take for granted. Here are a few reminders: 1. Marriage is exclusive. |
