Edit October 15, 2006                          Oct 21~/22nd - \\ The Fresh Fruit of Faithfulness in Marriage, part 8 \\ Baptism weekend… \\ Who are you getting marital advice from?
\\ Those who have failing relationships.
Wonder what kind of advice they’ll give you?
Can a person be trusted?
Yes.
Can a person breach your trust of them?
Yes.
Does God have anything to say about human trust?
Yes.
\\ Are you ready to hear it?
Yes.
Let’s pray.
OPENING LINE… \\ “WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE FAITHFUL?”
I know there are a lot of directions we can go today in this TOPIC of faithfulness.
God has led me today to focus on FAITHFULNESS IN MARRIAGE, \\ because the enemy is attacking marriages, even marriages of believers.
\\ \\
ILLUSTRATION:
Hallmark has a card that fits the mood of our time by saying, "I can’t promise you forever, but I can promise you today."
\\ \\ That’s about as deep a commitment as many are willing to make.
\\ \\ Q:  How HIGH is your expectation in marriage?
Do you want your marriage to be whole?
\\ Wholeness means that your marriage is healthy or on it’s way to health.
\\ \\ And it is in the will of God for you to enjoy health in
mind, body, and spirit, as well as healthy relationships.
\\ \\ Millions of germs inhabit our environment.
\\ \\ One scientist estimates there are 500 million organisms in just a teaspoon of garden soil, \\ and that a half teaspoon of saliva harbors one billion microorganisms (Folkenberg & McAdams, 1992, p. 39).
\\ \\ While some of these germs and bacteria are harmful, most are harmless.
Hey, as soon as the pastor said “you may kiss the bride”, your relationship started sharing germs….
OOOOOOO Gross pastor!
Those are GOOD GERMS right?
But there are BAD GERMS that want to destroy your marriage.
\\ \\ Unless we carefully guard and maintain our marriages, TERMINAL ILLNESS in our relationships may result.
\\ \\ WHEN YOUR SICK, THE DOCTOR TAKES A “THROAT CULTURE” to see what germs you have in your body.
TODAY, WE ARE GOING TO TAKE A “TRUST CULTURE”, because the word ‘FAITHFULNESS’ in Gal.
5:23, is talking being a person who is TRUSTWORTHY.
As you know we are live out the Holy Spirit’s fruit of faithfulness (add pee-tas here possibly)–
\\ How healthy is your relational TRUST IMMUNE SYSTEM?
\\ \\ Are we effectively Protecting each other…?
\\ The virus of sin holds thousands of varieties of germs, \\ and MARRIAGE, the closest family relationship, is the most vulnerable to relational germs, disease, and even death.
TODAY SERVES AS A SELF-EXAMINATION in your marriage.
If you are single, please relate what I’m saying to other relationships in your life, and also, pray for those who are married as we relate THE FRUIT OF FAITHFULNESS TO MARRIAGE TODAY.
SATAN WANTS TO DESTROY YOUR MARRIAGE.
He hates you and he wants you to hate each other.
Healthy Christian marriages are a threat to the enemy, and he will do whatever he can to destroy them.
In effect, he’s been pretty successful lately.
Are you going to allow your marriage to be a statistic Satan celebrates, or are you going to fight back?
Healthy marriages glorify God.
Unhealthy marriages stay in conflict, which minimizes the glory of God that we give him.
\\ \\ THERE IS SOMETHING WE CAN DO TO PROTECT OUR MARRIAGES….
\\ Whether your relationship has the VIRUS of MISTRUST, or whether you simply need PREVENTATIVE MEDICINE, every one needs RELATIONAL HEALTHCARE \\ \\
LET’S GO OVER THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT OF FAITHFULNESS, AND THEN I’LL SHARE SOME TIPS ON KEEPING YOUR MARRIAGE “DISEASE FREE”, \\ BUILDING BACK UP YOUR MARITAL IMMUNE SYSTEM.
The focus of this message is YOU becoming a better YOU in Christ, rather than your focus being on HOPING your spouse will TRUST you again.
Make sense?
(repeat) \\ \\
1.  Test your Personal Trust Immune System.
\\ \\ Are you trustworthy?
\\ \\
Focus on BEING trustworthy, instead of demanding others to trust you.
\\ \\ Greek - define word meaning of “faithful” Pistis/ -  pis'-tis/  \\ Pistis
Pees-tas – Faithfulness is conviction of the truth of anything – belief.
\\ \\ Trust born out of faith or trust in God.
And that faith in God, will change or transform your character.
\\ \\ Example:  If you have not been a person who is trustworthy, the FRUIT OF FAITH from the Holy Spirit, is His FRUIT of Trust being produced regularly through YOU.
\\ \\ We must desire to ALLOW God to appropriate this trust to us.
Romans 3:28,  For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law.
This word “faith”, which is what is needed in order to accept Christ, “PEESTAS” is the same word for “faith” as in trust, in marital fidelity, “being faithful” in marriage.
Add the word “fiath” in god is the same word (pee-tas) as this word for “trust” in gal.
5:22
 
Point:  The reason why marriage unfaithfulness hurts so deeply is that this breach of TRUST, is the same TRUST that we must have in order to accept Christ.
Christ won’t REJECT you – HE is and will always be TRUSTWORTHY.
Our salvation depends on Christ being Trustworthy.
 
2 Tim.
2:11-15-  “11 Here is a trustworthy saying: If we died with him, we will also live with him; 12 if we endure, we will also reign with him.
If we disown him, he will also disown us;
13 if we are faithless, he will remain faithful,
for he cannot disown himself.”
14 Keep reminding them of these things.
Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen.
15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.”
The word “Faithful” in Gal 5:23 means “trustworthy”.
\\ \\ Trust that is born out of faith in God.
Trust is the character of one who can be relied on
 
\\ However, in relationship to our marriages, they (marriage) also depends on trustworthiness in order to maintain health.
\\ \\
That’s why when trust has been breached in a relationship, I encourage the one who has been offended, to work toward “trusting” again, but VERIFY.
\\ Trust others, but verify, if needed (find quote – a military quote) \\ \\ Blindly trusting others is not what God expects because choosing to be trustworthy is still a choice.
\\ \\
vs. 15 – he is saying to be trustworthy, as one approved, a workman who need not be ashamed.
Even in this context, he is saying, making yourself a person who can be trusted, instead of your focus on “demanding to be trusted”.

------- \\ Illustration – 4 brothers married 50 years \\ \\ In Visalia, CA there was headlines news that said, \\ “Marriage Lasts a Lifetime for Four Hansen Brothers.”
Four brides for four brothers the four Hansen brothers and their wives celebrated a remarkable milestone.
\\ \\ They’ve all been married more than 50 years.
Couples married for 50 years are becoming a rarity.
\\ \\ Finding members of the same family who have been married that long is unheard of.
\\ \\ Tulare County brothers Arnold, Leonard, Raymond and Harold Hansen between the four of them, have been married to their wives for 221 years
When asked the secret of the Hansen brothers’ long marriages, Leonard said, ‘We’ve all had our ups and downs.
But divorce was never an option.
\\ Murder maybe, but not divorce.
\\ \\ ‘I go outside when we have an argument, that’s why I have such a good tan,’ Harold said with a smile.
\\ \\ Harold attributes the length of their marriages to the fact that the fact that there “Christian people.”
\\ However, also quips, but in my opinion.
‘We’re so good to our wives, they wouldn’t leave us for anything.’
There is something really wonderful about FAITHFULNESS  in marriage.
\\ \\ No doubt, the Hanson couples have had there problems, but they stayed together.
\\ \\ I want to learn from them, what about you? \\ \\
