God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
People have the idea that the preacher is an actor on a stage and they are the critics, blaming or praising him. What they don’t know is that they are the actors on the stage; he is merely the prompter standing in the wings, reminding them of their lost lines (and God is the audience)!
God's rules regarding marriage are not arbitrary. Everything in human marriage is to be, Ephesians 5:25, 'with reference to Christ and the church.' That's why within marriage there are male and female roles - whereby the husband shows Christ and the wife shows the church. That's why God forbids divorce - because Jesus would never leave us nor would we desire to leave Him. That's why sex before marriage is wrong - because the joining of us and Christ only happened after a covenant was made. That's why marriage in God's economy is between one man and one woman - because Jesus didn't marry Himself nor did the church marry herself. That's why married children leave their parents to form a new union - because the union with Christ is to be dominating over all other relationships. That's why within marriage couples now become one flesh - because we are in Christ and He is in us. That's why adultery is wrong - because God would never cheat on us nor should we spiritually cheat on Him by running after other gods.
