Twenty five years ago morality was an understood concept, even if some chose to ignore it. Today, we can’t presume anything! Many really don’t know what morality is and few care. A minister friend of mine had concluded his ministry as a guest speaker in a church when a young couple asked to talk to him privately. Drawing to one side, they stumbled over their words: “We thought you may have meant?….Umm. Did you actually imply?…Umm. Does the Bible really say it is wrong to live together before marriage?” They stood quietly as colour began to discernibly drain from their faces.Gently my friend showed them God’s counsel in His Word as he realised that they knew no better. I can just about hear the outrage now: That would never happen in my church! But, it did and it does! Let’s not get defensive; let’s provide a better answer for many of today’s new converts.
The couple in question had wandered into the church together a few weeks earlier, not knowing anyone there. They were searching for God. That first night they both committed their lives to Christ. From that point onwards, they were on fire for God. They arrived in the same car, left in the same car and lived in the same house. Only using their first names, everybody presumed they were married.
Fortunately for the couple, they could settle the issue. After finding out what God’s Word said, they separated for the few weeks prior to their local minister solemnising their marriage.
