Why Have We Accepted Cohabitation As The New Normal? (Ep. 88)

Cohabitation has become the new normal--even inside the church. Think about it, how many people do you know that out of convenience or any other reason have lived together before marriage? We’ve become so desensitized that we may not even recognize it as an issue at first. How harmful can it be to stay in the same room over the holidays or on a weekend trip?
On this episode of “The Elephant in the Room” series, I’m discussing how culture has infiltrated the church to make us believe that cohabitation-and sex outside of marriage-has become morally acceptable.

God is the same yesterday, today and forever.

Beautiful job of discussing a difficult subject that many people just choose not to address. God's Word is clear. But it must be studied to know the loving guidelines He provides.

I agree , God is not a God of confusion. Our God is holy, the same yesterday, today & forever!

[@cooljdude123]

Totally Agree. Thank you for standing up and sharing

I appreciate this message of truth! I appreciate the fact that my husband and I have a Pastor who is passionate about speaking God’s truth even when it goes against culture. My husband and I lived together a few months before getting married. We felt conviction & knew that was not God’s best for us. Choosing God’s ways & His best may not be what’s convenient for us at the time, but surely in the long run (sooner than expected actually) we will see His best is the best for us!

Also, I totally agree that it’s a tough subject of our times. May not seem as obviously wrong as other topics of today are.

Thank you for this truth, we really need to wake up as followers of Jesus. I would rather hear truth than be separated from God by disobeying him and live in sin.

You speak the truth.

Whether it is the mom wine or living together because it might make more sense financially, in all of it, sadly, God is just being taken out of the equation. What looks impossible to man is always possible with God. And when we leave the decision to Him and do things His way, He will always bless us. Do things His way and we get the privilege of seeing his hand at work in our lives!

Fantastic video. Praise the Lord!

Faith has died for these new pastors. You said they need to keep food on the table, to pay their staff. But they forgot that God can support us and That’s where faith comes in. God is powerful enough to feed us, to pay our bills. It comes down to faith

Unfortunately, this trend is prevailing in Hong Kong, not to mention in the UK or the USA.

I hope we have accepted it. This is such a minor issue. Once you've fed the poor and housed the homeless, then .... maybe ... start to consider these "you must think as I think" issues.
