Yesterday in my sermon we were speaking about the Apostle Peter and how God transformed his heart and desired a relationship with him and then I ventured into the area of how the church is a reflection of marriage.

Christ died and shed his blood for the establishment of the church, he is the husband and we who are saved are his bride, and the church itself is a reflection of a woman while Jesus is a reflection of the man.

Its a picture of how he wanted a marriage to be, the husband a man and the wife to be a woman and then bear children just as the church is to enlarge itself with more followers.

Of course today, there is an attack on marriage from people shacking up together to homosexuals shacking up together.

I told my congregation, man keeps preaching that we don’t need marriage,  that if two people are in love and committed to each other regardless of what sex they are, then its a matter of love and equality.

Lets say, for arguments sake,  what man is preaching is correct, it has nothing to do with the church, or pastors or God, and they don’t want to impose any of their beliefs on the religious people or church, alright that would be great.

Go ahead and do your thing and the church will do theirs, no problems.

BUT WAIT, if that was true, then why do they keep demanding to be recognized and married in the church?

The truth is, all of this is a direct attack on God and his church.

God established marriage and the church, he told us how it is to operate, man has said to God, your wrong, we don’t need what you’ve established.

It goes deeper, its not about love and equality, its about how Satan wants to stop the church of God.  If he can destroy marriage, it stops people from needing or going to church, which stops people from receiving Jesus as Savior which ultimately stops the church.

And its working, the more people who are in a homosexual relationship and the more people who shack up together, the more they don’t go to church and church attendance continues to drop now in the 30 %  range.

America is fast becoming an anti-God and anti-church country.

Satan is very subtle he does his damage using his followers who willingly do his bidding while still believing that God is blessing them.

God established marriage for one man and one woman for their happiness, anything other than that is an attack on God himself.
