The crisis of marriage in our churches is more serious than we think, and pretend to ignore the problem would be simply suicidal.
SM is all that is most active in his church. At 36, she is still waiting for a "brother in Christ knocking at the door of his heart. A heart desperately isolated, left to itself in this century when we speak of global village everywhere. Person or in his church, nor in the sister churches. Person to "pretend". And tired of waiting, disillusioned by some disappointments in the past, she wondered. Is there hope for her? Even if the song reminds him every day : "There Are hope for you ... Jesus is the answer .. " SM is nonetheless a beautiful young woman. It is one of those beauties who recognize God's creation as wonderful. In addition, she has no financial worries to be done. His job Financial Controller in a large box of international oil makes up the freedom from want. With its shiny little car, it makes jealous when she passes, even in the church, if you please ...
This table may suggest that our sister is "blessed." Not! Just because she has not a man with whom to share her daily, she saw what had so wrote the poet: "Only one person fails you, and everything seems depopulated ..." The missing link in the string of his little life has led her to a pastor to another in search of solution through prayers. It was bound and cast out demons, cut the bonds of celibacy, nothing. Organized long fasts, nothing there too. The latest discovery of LM is a site for Christian singles in which she filed an announcement. In her despair, she is ready to jump into the arms of the first came, "even if not Christian," she said, looking jaded. "What do you want me to do," laments she. Internet seems to be his last resort, and she was quick to sweep the risks that await the turning of a mouse click, even a Christian in a matrimonial site.
above is symptomatic of a latent crisis that continues within the Church concerning marriage. Clearly, something is wrong. The site is probably created by Christians, but there is no guarantee the good character of the thousands who daily visit our many pages. We saw several men suddenly become adherents of a church because they had targeted some girls. Would it not easy for such people to hide behind a Christian website to daub with all the good values and virtues espoused by Christianity and other traps? Once the marriage is solemnized, the wolf is in its true face. Too late, because then begins a ordeal for those who "sought a brother in Christ "for a husband.
It is for the shepherds to look after the whole person of their sheep, body, soul and spirit. Stop focusing solely on their spiritual needs, but also interested in their daily lives, their socio-emotional needs, finding a partner for example. Gaudy disinterest shown by some churchmen to this question is certainly a green light to the multitudes of single pounce on everything that falls on their hands. And advertising via the Internet helping marriages, Christians do not hesitate to scrutinize the sites on the side net: "The Lord's ways are unfathomable! "Cried one here. In addition, several single as LM have often missed their chance, because the suitors who knocked at their door were not to their taste or simply their social class.
We just wanted to draw everyone's attention on this phenomenon, without wishing to get anyone. These are just rantings of a journalist. Maybe you have good reason to have another opinion. Do not forget to let us know .
