The Permanence Of Marriage
At Marriage Medicines, we sincerely believe the institution of marriage is a sacred covenant designed by God to model the love of Christ for His people and to serve both the public and private good as the basic building block of human civilization.
God intends marriage to be a strong, lifelong connection between a man and a woman that can withstand sickness, financial hardships, and emotional stresses.
As a result, Christians are called to demonstrate and declare God’s purpose for marriage, as well as to minister in Christ’s name to those who suffer the consequences of its disintegration.
” ‘Haven’t you read,’ He replied, ‘that at the beginning the Creator “made them male and female” and said, “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh”? So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore, what God has joined together, let man not separate.’ ” Matthew 19:4-6
The Value Of Children
Marriage Medicines believes children are a heritage from God and a blessing from His hand. As a result, parents must account to God for nurturing, shaping, and preparing their children for a life of service to His Kingdom and humanity.
“Has not the Lord made them [a husband and wife] one? In flesh and spirit, they are His. And why one? Because He was seeking godly offspring.” Malachi 2:15
The Sanctity Of Human Life
We believe God created human beings in His image.
From conception through natural death, every person has inherent value and immeasurable worth, including preborn children, the elderly, those with special needs, and those who are excluded by society.
As a result, Christians are called to defend, protect, and appreciate all human life.
“For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” Psalm 139:13-14a
The Importance Of Social Responsibility
We believe God has ordained the social institutions of family, church, and government for the benefit of mankind and as a reflection of His divine nature.
Therefore, Christians are called to influence these institutions in accordance with God’s plan and purpose. Such involvement is in obedience to Christ’s lordship over all creation and is required by His command to care for the well-being of all people.
“For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.” Genesis 2:24
“And God placed all things under His feet and appointed Him to be head over everything for the church, which is His body.” Ephesians 1:22-23a
“Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.” Romans 13:1
The Value Of Male and Female
We believe that God made humanity in His image, male and female, with each providing distinct and mutually beneficial characteristics to sexuality and relationships.
Sexuality is a glorious gift from God to be offered back to God either in marriage for procreation, union, and mutual delight or in celibacy for undivided devotion to Christ.
Through Jesus Christ, Christians are called to declare the truth and beauty of God’s design, as well as the restoration of sexual brokenness in our lives and culture.
“Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—His good, pleasing, and perfect will.” Romans 12:1-2
