Mission Focused Men for Christ Responding to Our Culture’s Devaluing of Marriage
Episode Summary. As we continue our series, Guiding Our Loved Ones into a Biblical Worldview, this episode examines six biblical truths about God’s marriage design that are rooted in Genesis 2:24-25. There we read, Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.
For Further Prayerful Thought:
- Why is marriage different from all other relationships, making it the foundational institution of society?
- What does Genesis 2:24-25, the text we looked at, say about why God’s design of sex is profoundly tied to the institution of marriage?
- How does the biblical view of marriage suggest that the biggest problem in our cities is probably neither racism or nor poverty, but fatherlessness?
