Yet another Christian couple tells me they’re dissolving
their marriage – despite the young children the Lord has entrusted to
them. I asked the question I
usually do when friends deliver such horrific news: “Have you been reading the
Bible together each day?”
But I already knew the answer. Indeed, I have yet to hear
from any prospective divorcees that they study God’s Word with their spouses
daily.
Our Lord commands us to read His Law and to expound it within our families. If you’re neglecting this vital duty,
you will one day answer to God Himself as to why. Understand, too, that His
judgment may fall on you – and your innocent offspring -- here and now rather
than waiting for eternity, as you endure the bitterness, regret, and heartbreak
of a disintegrating home.
Finally, each divorce, especially among those of us who are
supposed to be salt and light to the world, is a triumph for Leviathan. The
beast despises intact, loving families precisely because they are the strongest bastions
against it. Ergo, arm yourself and your spouse for battle against Satan’s
citadel, the State: read the Bible every day, individually, together as a
couple, and corporately with all members of your household. It's the best insurance any family can have.
