Religious thoughts
Marriage is an honorable union in the sight of God. The
first institution established was the home. The divine plan
of God for mankind is the home: husband, wife, and children
raised in the environment and instruction of the home.
The Bible says that God created man in his own image
both male and female (Gen. 1:27). The Bible explains how
God did it. He formed man from the dust of the ground and
breathed into his nose the breath of life; and man became a
living soul (Gen. 2" 7). He caused a deep sleep to come upon
Adam and God took a rib from his side and closed up the
flesh and from he rib of Adam, God made the first woman
and brought her to the man. Adam said, "This is now bone
of my bones, and flesh of myflesh; she shall be called woman
because she was taken out of man. Therefore shall a mn
leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his
wife and they shall be one flesh" (Gen. 2: 21-25).
The Apostle Paul sanctioned the home, saying, "Let every
man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own
husband" (I Cor. 7:2). In the light of the Biblical concept of
the hm. ,, the Apostle Paul said, "Let not the wife depart
from her husband" (I Cor. 7:10). This can also be stated the
other way: let not the husband depart from the wife.
These words sound strange to a society that has made it a
course of life to weary the courts with divorce suits. Two
out of every three marriages in our country now end u
in the divorce courts. The Lutheran Church just mnde a
survey and discovered that if a family went to church re-
gularly together, only one out of six hundred went tc a di-
vorce court.
The Bible instructs the family in every problem area.
Even failure of one of the marriage partners Lo accept
Christ and become a Christian was not grounds for divorce
in the New Testament Church. If your husband or wife
wasn't, a Christian, you were still obligated to live with
him or her. If one or the other left, it ws his or herper-
serial responsibility. God says that the believing wife
might lead her unbelieving husband to Christ if she would
live with him and be a real Christian before him (I Cot.
7:12-16).
Concerning virgins, the Bible says hat a youn$ ladv is
to be one. A young lade should be a virgin when she marries.
God does not allow freedom at this point with sex. A young
man is to keep him_lf pure for that one special young lady.
A young lady is to keep herself pure for that one special
young man. The breakdown of the home an the pagan in-
fluence in a society can almost be meastredby the number of
virgins that society has. A virgin is a young woman who has
not had sexual relations before her wedding day (I Cot.
7:25-33).
Concerning widows and widowers, the Bible says that the
husband or wife is bound by the law as long as one or the

other of the marriage partners is living. Whose law are we
talking about? The Apostle Paul is talking about God's
law. The law of the land may not be the law of God. It
should be, but sometimes it isn't. If a husband dies, the
woman is free to remarry to whom she will; "only in the
Lord" (I Cor. 7:39-40). Of course the sme applies to the
man. If a man*s wife des, he is also free to remarry.
This freedom of which God speaks is a qualified freedom.
Such a person is no*. free to marry just anyone, but free to
marry anyone "in the Lord." This means anyone of whom
God approves. Once you're m:rried, you're bound to each
other for life.

Someone will say, "Pre.cher, we d nn*t do it ths w,*y to-
day." The heartache and sorrow that we have tn millions
of homes shouts this louder than you do. Multitudes of
homes, husbands and wives, have fallen short of God's
standard nd have brought untold misery and distress upon
themselves and millions of little children.
We would ,Io well to listen to God's Word and ,o it accord-
ing to God's law that the Christian witness might glorify the
name of our Lord Jesus Christ. And is not the judgment of
God upon our land because we have failed to heed God's
law?

No, it isn't a Bad Dream.
It is a nightmare and a senseless farce. The "sides"
have dug in for a prolonged siege. No matter that some or
our people are going without medical care.
If these people were required to conduct their personal af-
fairs the way they manage hospital affairs, they would in-
dignantly refuse. But the sacrifices others have to mke do
not matter; only that these people have their way.
Donley County cannot afford to say one word abou Water-
gate. This m,ss makes Watergate smell like a rose.
My stomach isn't strong enough to go to our local churches
on Sunday and listen to these hypocrites mouthpious phrases.
If they are Christian examples, I'll take my chances at home.
This is the classic examc[e of why young people reject
adult practices, God help us.
