Don't Let Hell Live in Your House

God led me to do a series on Domestic Abuse/Violence.  I started the sermon series today, dealing with what God's Word says about domestic abuse.  Although the bible does not mention those words directly, the scriptures are clear that God does not condone such actions.  God commands us in Genesis 2 to be as one.  He commands us to love our wives in Ephesians 5.  He commands us to not be harsh to our wives in Colossians 3, and He commands us to honor our wives in 1 Peter 3.  Husbands (and future husbands) if you strive to be as one in a loving, respecting, honoring relationship, there will be no room for domestic abuse.  Women are a gift from God.  When we honor the gift, we honor the Giver.
