Worldwide Women: “It is Better to Marry than to BURN!”

Apostle Paul said,  “I say to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I…But if they cannot contain, let them marry:  FOR IT IS BETTER TO MARRY THAN TO BURN.”  (I Corinthians 7:9)  

BRING IT DOWN ON HOME:

 If you are shacking, you are fooling yourself and eventually your relationship will end up on the rocks! Why?  Because the union between a man and woman should be built upon a SOLID FOUNDATION and that rock is JESUS who does not dilly-dally in unrighteousness!  It doesn’t mean the marriage road will be smooth because the road is rough but you must stay rooted and grounded in CHRIST as He is unchangeable.  So, as you grow apart and change every day (like the wind), the Lord remains the same.  One day you’re happy but the next day you are miserable…then…you all make up… and the process starts again.  It takes two people to argue; so one person has to shut-up and pray!  Honey, PRAYER CHANGES THANGS! 

TO THE MARRIED:  Then, Apostle Paul said to the married people, “I command, YET NOT I, but  THE LORD,  Let not the wife depart from her husband…and if she depart,  LET HER REMAIN UNMARRIED, or be reconciled to her husband:  and let not the husband put away his wife.”  (I Corinthians 7:10-11)    Oh Boy, some of you just fell out of the tree on your head!  Well, you’re gonna fall no matter what I say as I read some of your comments!  It’s alright to let out some steam but be p0lite.  

Surely, the Lord foresaw people marrying, divorcing, jumping up and marrying somebody else as follows:  people start changing partners like they’re changing driving lanes on the freeway (i.e., they marry then change their mind about that person…so they divorce that person and marry another…then, that person finds somebody to marry…then he decides the lady got to fat so he gets a bill of divorce…then the fat lady gets a little man so she can beat him into submission…then the little man decides he’s unhappy with the fat wife so he files for a divorce and a retaining order…then he gets married but that person has multiple children behind the scenes….AND EVERYBODY’S LIFE IS A MESS).   Did anyone ever stop to think about the plended children who are left behind in a confused state of mind?   

Apostle Paul said, “I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully…For some are already turned aside after Satan.”  (I Timothy 5:14-15) 

TO THE BELIEVING/UNBELIEVING PARTNERS: Apostle Paul makes his own suggestion,  “I say, NOT THE LORD, if any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and  she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.  And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.  For the unbelieving husband is sancctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband:  else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.  But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart.  A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases; but God hath called us to peace.  For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband  or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?”   (I Corinthians 7:12-16) 

BACK TO THE UNMARRIED: If a man or woman does not want to get married, they should not be living together as man and wife!  No matter how much you love that person, you must not put him/her above the COMMANDMENTS of the Lord GOD!  If you do, then, you are making that person a demi-god and the LORD GOD IS A JEALOUS GOD!   Why share the bed, the rent, vacations, the bills (water, food, electricity, gas, etc.) and don’t tie the knot?  You can do all of this but do it under the Shadow of the Almighty!  If your partner has a dog or cat, he will purchase a  license for the animal but he will make every excuse to get a Marriage License to share his name with a live-in partner!  This may not be the case for all women and men shacking together as there are always exceptions to the rule!  BUT THERE IS NO EXCEPTION TO GOD’S WORD,   “It’s better to marry than to burn.”   

Again, if you are not married and shacking, YOU ARE OUT OF THE WILL OF GOD!  Now, God’s laws are UNIVERSAL in every language (i.e., Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Icelandic, Italian, Japanese, Koreah, Norewegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Sinhalese, Tamil, Vietnamese, Swahili, Swedish, Spanish,  Danish, Dutch, English, Black American, African, French, Finnish, German, or undecided).   

 JUST READ THE HEADLINES about the number of people shacking and breaking up as well as the numerous people in divorce court.  It’s shameful!   And, some of them are already involved in other relationships!!!
