Easier Said Then Done. . . Part I

Easier said than done. We say it, but rarely do we do it! In today's message, of course is about our journey called Marriage. A marriage sealed by a ceremony and a vow which says: "I Do". However; it's Easier said then Done!
That's right, just a simple phrase with one simple breath, we change the entire course of our lives. The easy to pronounce words of a marriage vow is effortless, yet in it we legally declare before God and man, that this is it! We vow to commit, to submit, to endure and ensure that at all cost, we will protect and provide for this is our bond of faith, love, desire, it is our marriage.Yet, after all of that . . .it's still easier said than done.

Now let's hear God's version: Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; Ephesians 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. . . and to them both: Ephesians 5:21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

Well, I guess that sums it all up. Our legal and natural vows says we'll do just that, and on the spiritual side, God's Word instructs us to do the same.

Here's the question: so why are we struggling so with our marriages ? Here's why. . .and this may shock you, but it is one of the leading flaws in marriage relationship today. Lack of teaching! I know, you're surprised, but it is a fact. We have never taken the time to examine the real meaning of marriage and what it's responsibilities require, nor what the repercussions it could cause by not entering into marriage with a pure intent. Wow!

You won't believe what this next scripture says: Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. Now that is pretty astonishing! You see over thousands of years ago, the prophesies of this book were written for our learning today . Yes, even in 2007, we still need to be taught. . . .Well out of time. . . to be continued in the next segment!
