Adultery

The world's definition of Adultery is so far from truth and biblical reasoning. The world defines adultery as:

"The voluntary sexual intercourse by a married person with someone other than his or her spouse. The consent of both parties and penetration are required for adultery to exist."

God's definition of adultery is:

Matthew 5:28 - But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

 

This applies to women as well so don't think that when a woman looks at a hot guy that is not her husband and lusts after him with her eyes that she is just innocent. She has just committed adultery as well.

 

Infidelity kills families, and gives those involved nothing but shame rained down on their head. Luckily for those of us who are saved we can confess our sin and God is faithful and just to forgive us of our sin and cleanse us from all unrighteousness as he says in his word.

Divorce Statistics

With divorce rates climbing daily our families are more and more in danger of failing because men and women both don't know what it means to commit to someone anymore. Many of these are because they had no positive example in their own lives. I know that because my parents divorced when I was 3, and unfortunately I divorced my first wife, not by choice, but out of necessary need for my own mental stability. Now I want to try and prevent that for my kids by hopefully helping them to choose the right partner the first time, and most of making ure God is the center of that relationship. What about you?

Reports also say that couples with children have a slightly lower rate of breakup as compared to couples without children. This is due to the fact that being childless is one of the prime causes behind divorce in America. Also, the children of divorced parents are prone to divorcing 4 times more than the children of couples who are not divorced.

The Family under attack

The understanding and function of the family is under attack in our nation today. The very foundation of our nation and the families which it is supposed to be centered around is under attack by the governmental system. What we know as the family (A Father, Mother and kids) has been forced to become something both biblically and morally wrong (Two Father or Two mothers and kids). How can we as a nation that has abhorred homosexuality and same sex marriage for so many year allow these attacks on God's definition of family to continue?

"The key reason why the American family is in trouble, is that too many American husbands and wives consider their families to be of secondary importance. Their number one priority is themselves, their personal growth, fulfillment and all the other things we say when what we really mean is, "Me first." Neither the economic nor the employment status of the parents is the key. What matters is whether the family is at the center of their concern." William Raspberry, the columnist who often writes for The Orlando Sentinel

Christian families especially are under attack in America! It is just as if the Communist Soviet Russia exists today in the U.S., just as Brother Lester Roloff warned us about. Parents who home school their kids are increasingly being attacked by the State because they disagree with how the public school system has become more and more unacceptable for our children to not only gain a good education, but it has also become a cesspool of drugs, teenage sex, criminal activity, and so much more that I know I don't want my kids exposed too. What about you? Are you OK with your kids being allowed to be exposed to such evil?

According to Scripture, husband and wife are "one flesh," a community of life, and members one of another (Gen. 2:24, Matt. 19:5-6; Eph. 5:22-33).

Homosexuality is an abomination sayeth the Lord, and nowhere in the bible are you going to find it acceptable for a man and man or woman and woman to become married, Period. The governmental officials that have ramrodded this problem into our homes and society will stand in judgement before God Almighty and they will pay for their sin. You kids are subjected to it, your families are subjected to it daily through television, movies, gameshows, reality shows, etc. When will this nation take a stand for God like they do for immorality?
