This week I’m joined by Kristofer Gardana, and we’re talking about a law in Mexico that would allow people to “renew” their marriage every few years. If they did not renew their marriage, they would be considered “divorced.” There may be a lot of people who would prefer this as it would be an easy way to get out of marriage without a messy divorce. And, since so many people consider marriage to be temporary anyway, this would seem to make sense from a worldly perspective. However, it does not reflect the wisdom of God or the teachings of His word. So we’re going to discuss this in our episode today.Continue Reading

Marriage Is to Be Held in Honor among All

Bride and Groom

Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge” (Hebrews 13:4).

Marriage was instituted by God in the beginning as a blessing for mankind. Sadly, this God-ordained union between a man and a woman has been corrupted, abused, broken, and disregarded in every generation since then. We certainly see this in our society and will continue to see it as long as people ignore and reject God’s plan for marriage.

The Hebrew writer said that “marriage is to be held in honor.” To hold something in honor is to esteem it and recognize it as being valuable. The same Greek word is used to describe the “precious blood” of Christ (1 Peter 1:19) and the “precious…promises” that God has given us (2 Peter 1:4). Clearly, when we see this word being used by the New Testament writers, we are reading about something that should be treasured.

What does it mean to hold marriage “in honor”? Consider a few points:Continue Reading
