Marriage: (Part 15) For God’s Sake & the Children’s Sake | The Overton Window

How far has the Church moved from what Jesus actually taught about marriage and family? The culture moved. Laws moved. Denominations moved. What was once unthinkable became radical, then acceptable, sensible, popular, and eventually normal. But Jesus didn't move. In this powerful message, discover how the Overton Window helps explain the dramatic shift in beliefs about marriage, divorce, remarriage, sexuality, and family, and how generations gradually came to accept what previous generations would have rejected. The message traces that movement through major turning points in church history and modern culture, while confronting an even more important question: Where should the Church's standard be? The answer isn't the 1960s. It isn't the 1950s. It isn't the Reformation. It isn't a denomination or tradition. It's Jesus. Jesus took marriage all the way back to God's original design: “But it was not this way from the beginning” (Matthew 19:8). And He connected loving Him directly with obeying His commands (John 14:15). This message is not simply about how far society has moved. It's a call for the Church, and every follower of Christ, to examine where we have moved and come all the way back to Jesus. Watch now. The question isn't whether the Overton Window moved. The question is whether we moved with it.
