The Love of PASSIONS is Destroying Family Life.
Again using the words of Apostle Paul concerning the last dangerous and perilous days in II Timothy 3:2…For men shall be lovers of their own selves,…
Jesus taught that believers are to marry and raise children. The institution of marriage is ordained of God. I didn’t say those who get married should be institutionalized 
.
Jesus also said to us in Matthew 5:27-29 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
Hebrews 13:4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
Our world has gone crazy with passion. Romans 1:26-27 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet. (Leviticus 18:22 – an abomination)
George Barna said “Busters (those born between 1965 – 1983) were twice as likely to have viewed sexually explicit movies or videos; two and a half times more likely to report having had a sexual encounter outside of marriage; and three times more likely to have viewed sexually graphic content online.”
It is no secret that music, TV, video games, uncontrolled / un-monitored computer and TV viewing have contributed to this looseness! But I want to approach this from another direction. The mistake people are making today is they are placing more importance on the looks of the body than the inner person. Let me explain – I see young people decorating or desecrating their body with piercings and tattoos and I have to wonder why. Do they not know what a sagging…looks like when they are older?
And then, millions are spent on advertisements selling products that will glamorize people. I will tell you what matters – the love a man has for his wife and the wife for her husband! The world is becoming drunk on passion. It is throwing out faithfulness, responsibility and respectability for the whatever I want or whatever feels good – do it philosophy!
What used to embarrass America is common place on the streets of our town. I have been propositioned for a sexual experience right here in Columbus, OH! Adultery and homosexuality has become an acceptable way of life but God still calls it sin and an abomination (thank God He forgives!)
The horrible disease of AIDS is killing many because of drugs and perversion. It is getting worse and worse. People will murder to get enough money to buy dope. Girls will sell their body to get a quick fix. It’s no wonder the last prayer in Scripture was that of apostle John, (Revelation 22:20) He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
The best that we can do is live right and teach our families; our children and grandchildren to live right.
When I marry couples, I ask them to repeat the following promise….I, take thee, to be my lawful and wedded spouse. To have and to hold from this day forward. For better, for worse; for richer, for poorer. In sickness and health; to love and to cherish till death shall part us. According to God’s Holy Law, I pledge thee my love.
Can you or have you made the vow to Christ our Savior? How long has it been since the husband has said that to his wife or wife to her husband? How long has it been since you prayed for your children, your grandchildren together? The devil is fighting against our homes and winning many battles. It’s not because he is stronger than God; it is because we allow him to win!
