A Culture Changed By God

Exodus 22:16
16 "If a man seduces a virgin who is not pledged to be married and sleeps with her, he must pay the bride-price, and she shall be his wife. 17 If her father absolutely refuses to give her to him, he must still pay the bride-price for virgins.


As part of the law, a man should have to pay the father fines and take the daughter in marriage as the father sees fit. This was in accordance with the law.

Imagine how it would be like in these days where, if we sleep with ones who are not our wife, we would HAVE TO marry them and take them as your bride. If people see things in a different light, one that the Lord has planned for us, we may not do the things we do today. People would not sleep around. They would certainly know the consequences of the law.

Father, You are awesome and perfect. Your love for your people so so exceedingly abundant. I pray for your people, and I pray for the spirit that has overtaken our culture that we are not committed to one another, but instead we sleep around and not take account for our own actions. I pray for a spirit of commitment and a culture that see's things through Your eyes. I pray that You may be glorified in Jesus name.
Amen.
