What God Joined Together - Family Radio

INTRODUCTION
Fifty years ago, divorce was almost unheard of except in some avant garde
elements of our culture. In the church, divorce was virtually not found. When
we compare the church of today with the church of 50 years ago, we are
astounded at the appearance of the dreadful phenomenon of divorce.
Today, divorce is as common as grass. In almost every church, not only are
the people in the pews divorcing, but deacons and elders and pastors are also
divorcing. The institution of marriage has become a shambles.
How did this come about Did the church of 50 years ago have an incorrect
understanding of the Bible’s rules concerning marriage and divorce
The situation is terrible and all-pervasive. We see the problems of those
who have been divorced and those who are contemplating divorce, and the
trauma of the children of these unhappy marriages in indescribable.
With the wreckage of families has come an overwhelming lusting after
sexual pleasures and perversions. Indeed, it appears that Sodom must be
moved down to second place as the capital of perversion and lust.
The magnitude and awfulness of the problem cannot be overemphasized.
Marriage has everything to do with the family, and the family is the foundation
of society. The family is the cornerstone of every nation. When the families are
destroyed, the destruction of the nation is not far behind. Therefore, it is
imperative that we find a solution to this terrible plague that is sweeping over
the land.
In this study, we will start and stand with the principle that the Bible is
absolute truth. Only our understanding of the Bible can be erroneous. We
Christians have an obligation to search the Scriptures to discover truth. God
has much to say about the marriage relationship, and we will examine all that
the Bible has to say on the subject.
