Video with a Message

Someone from Christian Bloggers visited my blog. I was browsing there, and found this video, from Jars of Clay's i am chief.

While it is hilarious, it is also very true. The dysfunctional 'love' of the music of the fifties, sixties and seventies play repeatedly on the Golden Oldies channel. And I love them...yeah yeah yeah.

But while growing up listening to the music, most of us had no idea that those many favorite songs were dysfunctional. "You've lost that lovin feeling... whoa-oh, that lovin feeling... You've lost that LOVIN feeling, now its gone....gone... gone... and I can't go on..... whoa oh oh oh... "

So in this day of disposable diapers, disposable tissues, disposable towels, disposable you-name-it, we have also become a nation of disposable spouses, and even disposable valid marriages in today's Church.

Is it coincidence that disposable pregnancy and disposable Marriage came about in the seventies? Abortion and no fault forced, unilateral divorce were both made 'law of the land' in 1973.... disposable children, disposable spouses?

Is is coincidence that so many 'Christian churches' recognize artificial birth control instead of allowing God to be the Life-giver, recognize second and third and subsequent marriages instead of heeding His Word in Malachi, in Matthew 5 and 19, Mark 10, Luke 16:18, 1Cor 7?

Where even the Church that defended marriage, causing Henry VIII to begin his own church as he began his divorce/killing spree of his six 'wives', (and raised up Saints such as St Thomas More and St John Fisher) has now by virtue of the teaching of people like Fr Wrenn found inventive ways to grant judgements of Nullity for nearly anyone who petitions the Tribunals?

I still enjoy the old songs, but I hear them with different ears for the past 20+ years.

It would be interesting to me to learn what the author's views on divorce and the subsequent second (etc) marriage versus indissolubility of marriage is, also. (Some claim to recognize indissolubility, but in reality, don't.)

God bless!
