Friday Food for Thought from Don Fortner on Marriage

‘[Note the]….high honour our Lord places upon marriage. By his presence at the marriage feast, the Son of God said, ‘This is an honourable thing’ (Genesis 1:28; 2:18–25; Hebrews 13:4). One of the first steps toward moral decadence in any society is a low esteem for this ordinance of God. Where there is no sanctity of marriage, there is no regard for God or his law, no regard for moral decency, and no regard for human life. These things stand and fall together!

–Quoted by yours truly in last Sunday’s sermon from Don Fortner of Grace Baptist Church of DanvilleKY, who pastored there for over 40 years and died in 2020
