Dutch Uncle, Russell Moore, calls the church to repent on our approach to marriage

After the Supreme Court ruled that the states should rule on marriage, Russell Moore writes "How Should Same-Sex Marriage Change the Church's Culture?"   He challenges the church to rethink how we do marriage in the church.  One way we can take marriage more seriously is by using an arbitration agreement that we talk about in this blog.

As marriage is being redefined Moore calls the church to repentance:

That means that we must repent of our pathetic marriage cultures within the church. For too long, we’ve refused to discipline a divorce culture that has ravaged our churches. For too long, we’ve quieted our voices on the biblical witness of the distinctive missions of fathers and mothers in favor of generic messages on “parenting.”
For too long, we’ve acted as though the officers of Christ’s church were Justices of the Peace, marrying people who have no accountability to the church, and in many cases were forbidden by Scripture to marry. Just because we don’t have two brides or two grooms in front of us, that doesn’t mean we’ve been holding to biblical marriage.
... we have the opportunity, by God’s grace, to take marriage as seriously as the gospel does, in a way that prompts the culture around us to ask why.
