War on God!

A husband is the head of his wife, as Christ is the head and the Savior of the church, which is his own body.  Wives should always put their husbands first, as the church puts Christ first.  A husband should love his wife as much as Christ loved the church and gave his life for it.  He made the church holy by the power of his word, and he made it pure by washing it with water.  Christ did this, so that he would have a glorious and holy church, without faults or spots or wrinkles or any other flaws.  In the same way, a husband should love his wife as much as he loves himself. A husband who loves his wife shows that he loves himself.  None of us hate our own bodies. We provide for them and take good care of them, just as Christ does for the church, because we are each part of his body.

Ephesians 5: 23 - 30

The attacks on “traditional” marriage and the roles of husband and wife are not, and I believe have never been about “conservative values.”  The attacks on marriage are part of the War on God that Satan has been waging from the beginning.

The fact that God designed marriage to be between one man and one woman for life, and that he said that the man should be the “head” of his wife and love her as Christ did His Bride changes our understanding of the “Institution of Marriage.”  Marriage on earth is a portrait of Christ and His Followers who are His Bride.

Marriage is not a re-defineable concept that can be changed to fit the cultural norm of the day.  Changing the way marriage works is like saying we need to alter the way we get oxygen into our blood stream and replace breathing for that purpose!  

There are many cultural practices that do no violence to the Will of God on earth, but tampering with God’s design of marriage will destroy a society!  And, in fact in many places on earth that is what is happening!

And the attacks on marriage are being followed by a war on the idea of gender itself.  Little children are being taught that there are an unlimited number of genders, not just men and women!

“Lord Jesus, show me how to be in complete harmony with Your Will and accept the way You designed everything on earth!  May Your Holy Name be praised now and forever.  Amen.”
