Today’s Thought “June Bride?” G. Ward Hebrews 13 4 Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled; for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers. The pastorate many years ago witnessed couples who in the midst of courtship, fell in love and desired an exclusive, matrimonial presentation that mimicked their foreparents’ longevity in the same; embracing an intentional “till death do we part” posture. Pastors can now mostly plan vacation time in the month of June (more common a month for weddings). Courtships now, have become absolutely frivolous; even with a license towards experiencing a multitude of partners. Sadly, remnants of old occur, yet sinful, particularly when some decide to live together as they audaciously bring children in the world (exacerbating sinfulness); desiring all to be celebratory concerning such spiritual malfeasance. Moreover, these are insistent the more, through great gala that even imposes on their local church for christening these innocent children while unmarried. My defensive friends are frowning (with such a discourse) as today’s acceptance of such is commonplace, discounting Final Authority’s unchanging mandates. No matter the numbers, one stance presented is still with eternal implication and at some point (very soon) is answerable to the Owner (cf. Ps.24:1).
