The Problem of Throw Away Marriages
by Adrian Rogers
The subject, the problem of divorce. The title of the message, The problem of throwaway marriages. Malachi chapter 2 verse 11. Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of the Lord which he loved, and hath the daughter of a strange god. The Lord will cut off the man which doeth this, the master and the scholar out of the tabernacles of Jacob. And he that offering, that offereth an offering unto the lord of Hosts. And this have ye done again, covering the altar with tears and weeping and crying out, insomuch that he regardeth not the...
God's Design for Marriage (4 of 4)
by Frank Damazio
This is the last message in this marriage building series having laid foundations carefully: six marriage building Foundations and the serious marriage challenges, marriage building begins as a single and with moral purity, the destruction of the moral absolute foundation, and the 12 lies about sex before marriage. This message will endeavor to understand God's idea for marriage as seen from the first marriage - the original marriage. We need to know what marriage is, where it comes from, and what it is meant to be. We need to know what man is, what woman is, and how they are different. The Bible's account of the...
The Garden Wedding
by Dr. Ed Young
We're reading in Genesis Chapter Number 2, beginning with verse 18 and reading through verse 24. 18 Then the Lord God said,'' It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a help mate for him.'' 19 And out of the ground, the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every fowl of the air and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them. And whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. 20 And Adam gave names to all cattle and to the fowl of their and to every beast of the field, but for Adam, there was not found a helpme for him. 21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon...
How to Finish Well in My Marriage and Family
by John Barnett
I recently heard the testimony of a local Tulsa businessman through the ears of my son. What caught my attention was, that it had caught his attention. This man said that he sat to write his own obituary, listing off what had mattered in his life-and he didn't like how it read. All the items were centered on his life, instead of God and others. That made him sit and rewrite the rest of his life and focus on God and others. In other words, he pointed his life in the direction of finishing well, and that changed his life. Finishing Well is a Chosen Direction in Life - Finishing well is not a one-time-act; it is a direction we...
Life Lessons from a Wedding
by Robert Dawson
There is an old saying that goes, ''You never get a second chance to make a first impression.'' First impressions are important. Athletes who finally have the opportunity to make their rookie debut want to make a splash and leave a lasting impression. Actors and actresses reading for a new part or trying to break into the business want to make a good first impressions. As a faith family we want to make a good impression on those who walk into our facilities, meet our people and worship with us for the first time. Truth is, we all want to leave a lasting impression, a positive impression, whether it is on our first date or a job...
A Marriage Made in Heaven (34 of 39)
by James Merritt
I suppose there is nothing more exciting than a beautiful wedding, at least for the major participants. I have performed weddings where I honestly thought the groom was going to faint before the ceremony even began. (in fact, when I got married I thought I was going to faint before the ceremony even began.) But there is always a sense of excitement in the air, particularly on the part of the bride and the groom. John doe on his wedding day was a most excited creature he handed his wife the marriage fee and tried to kiss the preacher! 2. But there is a wedding coming that is going to end all weddings. In fact, there has never...
Late for the Wedding
by Daniel Rodgers
Chapter 25, of the book of Matthew, gives us a very interesting parable. This parable is a story of 10 virgins--5 wise virgins, and 5 foolish virgins. There has been endless debate as to who these virgins represent: a. Some feel this parable is about the church--the Bride of Christ, as she goes out to meet her Bridegroom, the Lord Jesus. They say this passage is about the rapture--the catching away of the saints. You will note in our text that these are "10 virgins," not "one." The Church is one body, comprised of all believers. Jesus is not a polygamist. He doesn't have 10 virgins. He is the Bridegroom; the Church is the Bride...
Marriage: The Picture of Christ and the Church (6 of 48)
by Patrick Edwards
For those of you particular sharp in ministry, you'll recognize that this is the second time in two years we've come to Ephesians 5:21-33. I know what you must be thinking. ''Boy, October 7, was Patrick's second anniversary here at the church and he's already recycling sermons!'' What can I say, it's hard coming up with new material! In all seriousness, our first study of Ephesians 5:21-33 was in the context of Genesis 2 where we allowed Paul's passage here to help us understand how God created marriage in the Garden, not just for the well-being of Adam and Eve but to also give us a picture of who Christ would be and...
The Four Foundational Laws of Marriage
by Jimmy Evans
In the very beginning of the first marriage relationship, God gave instructions as to how this relationship was to function. Jesus Himself directed the Pharisees’ attention back to these laws (Matthew 19) as they tried to justify their sinful positions on marriage. Again, the Apostle Paul in his letter to the church at Ephesus (Ephesians 5) quoted the same text from Genesis as being authoritative and vital for a strong marriage. I. THE LAW OF PRIORITY - ‘‘for this cause a man shall leave his father and mother’’ A. THE PRINCIPLES BEHIND LEAVING 1. The Principle of Design 2. The Principle of Intimacy B. THE...
Affair-Proofing Your Marriage (5 of 7)
by Jeff Schreve
I've performed, as a pastor, many weddings. And in every wedding that I perform, I always include that vow - that you'd leave all others and you'd be true to your partner and faithful until death. Now I imagine every married person in this room has made that vow. That's just what we do. That's just standard fare at a wedding. You vow before God to be faithful. But so many people break that vow. I was looking at statistics for marital unfaithfulness. And one of the statistic said 36% of married couple, sometime in their marriage, one or both, are going to be unfaithful. That's a high, high percentage - 22% for the men and...
The Providence of God in Marriage (7 of 7)
by Zach Terry
WE ARE FAMILY NOW, We've had the talk. Do you realize I could not have preached this a couple of years ago, because you needed to learn my heart and my commitment to the Word before we dealt with these issues. READ PAGE 273 in the God on Sex book. TEXT: Song of Solomon 8:5-14 5 "Who is this coming up from the wilderness Leaning on her beloved?" So here the couple is returning to the city from the wilderness and the people are recognizing the affect they have had upon each other. That is a goal of a good and effective date - you come home different. Solomon speaks - "Beneath the apple tree...
Love for a Lifetime (6 of 6)
by Jim Perdue
Today, we come to the conclusion of our series through the Song of Solomon. We have seen What the Bible Says About Marriage, Love, and Sex. And we have seen how to pattern our lives, our marriages, and our families after God's plan in His Word. Today, I want to finish this series by looking at Song of Solomon 7:11-8:14 as we study the subject, Love for a Lifetime. *I hope you appreciate how difficult this series has been to preach. There are some very confusing passages in this book. No one even agrees on what they mean. Beyond that, the subject matter can be completely awkward; almost all the time! You open the...
What Every Husband Wishes His Wife Knew (6 of 7)
by Zach Terry
Confidence especially when it comes to intimacy is very attractive to a man. But guys, notice the source of her confidence is that she feels secure in her husbands love. C.J. Mahanney said it well, "The husband must touch her heart before touching her body". I would add to that, "The husband must give her great security before he can expect her to have confidence in bed" How much help you wife needs in this area is affected by: 1. Her past relationships - dating at times can be training for divorce. a.If a woman has been let down by another, she may have difficulty trusting you. b. If a woman has been...
Forever, Amen! (13 of 13)
by Jerry Vines
We have a number of couples in our congregation who has celebrated fifty or more years in marriage. We are exceedingly proud of these couples. It is special to have a 50th wedding anniversary. I heard about a couple and the wife said to the husband, "This is our 50th wedding anniversary. Do you think I ought to kill a chicken tonight?" He said, "No, I don't think we ought to blame a bird for something that happened 50 years ago." I hope you don't feel that way about it. Maybe you have heard Randy Travis sing that song, "I'm going to love you forever, amen." That is the sentiment of those of you who have celebrated 50...
Marriage Matters (12)
by Tony Thomas
The Constitution mandates a federal census every ten years. The census determines three things: the number of seats each state receives in the House of Representatives, the stakeholders who receive $400 billion of federal money, and our collective lifestyle. In 2010, 309 million people resided in 105 million households: 51.5% of the households are husband/wife households, unmarried couple households numbered 5.48 million, and same-sex partner households numbered 358,000. That's .056 of 1% -- a number far lower than the media would lead you to believe! Ana Swanson wrote an interesting article in the Washington...
Husbands - Love Your Wives!
by Jim Henry
God tells us very clearly what blesses Him. I want to talk to you men, particularly. We’re going to hear what kind of husband you are supposed to be, what God expects you to be, and what He expects you to do. One time a counselor was talking to a man and he said, “I’ll tell you, you just don’t know the kind of woman I’m living with. If you did, you wouldn’t be talking about these things. My woman is a nag, and a hag, and a bag - all rolled up into one package!” The counselor said, “Well, let me tell you why your wife is a hag, and a nag, and a bag. The reason she’s a nag is because you never listen to her, never talk to her, and...
The Happy Family

Love Your Wife (4 of 6)
by Josh Malone
Children have their own way of sharing with you that they love you. For my little girl Eden when she really wants us to know she loves us she will say... ''I love you sooooooo much. You are always in my heart.'' - Maybe she's going to write movie scripts for the Hallmark channel one day or something. When we really want someone to know we love them, we tend to want to do more than just say. ''I love you.'' Even with kids we see that. As adults we know something... love is about more than saying it or even how you say it. Love is a verb. It's more than a feeling. It involves action. It leads to doing. All of us want to be LOVED...
Part of the Marriage Story (17)
by Robert Dawson
My favorite night of the week during the fall season is Friday. I enjoy going to Martin Stadium, ''The Concrete Palace,'' and watching my Lowndes High Vikings play football. In addition to the game, I love the half-time show with the LHS Georgia Bridgeman. Once a band nerd always a band nerd. Once a Bridgeman always a Bridgeman. When I was in band, many, many, many years ago, our directors would have a show written just for us, everything from adapting a musical score to the on-field formations. It was and is exciting. It is like a symphony with visuals! Each year I'm anxious to see what story the band is going to...
