Marriage/Homosexuality (2 Topics)

Sunday's Devotion (3-27-05)

"And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." Genesis 2:23-24 (KJV)

I talked shortly yesterday about how people leave their parents, for their spouse. It takes a special person to take you away from your family, it takes a special person to make you want to spend your life with them. Marriage isn't something to jump into with just anybody. If you do then you might find yourself jumping out quickly. Marriage is special in the eyes of God, it's supposed to be a life-long commitment. You have to be willing to make that commitment. If both people the man and the woman want to marry, and if they both believe that they want to spend their lives with the other then they should marry. However, a lot of people are staying with someone they want to marry, but the person doesn't want to marry them. If they don't want to marry you, if they don't believe you're worth it... then they aren't right for you. You are a child of God, you are not a fornicator or an adulterer! You believe in marriage! Stop settling for someone who isn't willing to marry you! You deserve to have someone who will marry you, someone who thinks you're worth the commitment. Marriage is a life-long contract. Are you ready for that?

Onto another subject. People often say, "God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve!" But that phrase doesn't teach us anything. It doesn't tell us how God made Adam and Eve! The scriptures say that woman was made from man's rib. Imagine this if you will: A man with a man and they're both missing their ribs. A piece is missing from them both. A woman and a woman together with only ribs... they're missing everything else! People are missing pieces of the puzzle. Life isn't as enjoying to these people as God would have it be. Pieces are missing! People often give the homosexual people a difficult time. I don't know why. They're already having a difficult time, they don't need us to make anything more difficult. Maybe, they're homosexuals because they had a bunch of bad encounters with the opposite sex. They got discouraged and gave up, thinking that there was no 'good' person of the opposite sex. Both sexes have their 'good' and 'bad' you just have to find the right people! There are also a number of other reasons that people go to the homosexual lifestyles. These aren't people who need to be tortured or killed, these are people that need prayer. Just like you and I. If you're a homosexual and you truly feel like something is missing, then use the contact page. We will pray for you and do anything we can to help.

Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for this message and for all things. Please forgive us of all our sins and we forgive all those who've wronged us. Help the men to find the right women to marry and the women to find the right men. Help us to have blessed and godly marriages that last for a life-time. Help us to be a light for the homosexuals and not mean-spirited towards them. Help them to find your will for their lives. In Jesus name. A-men!

God bless!
