“That church is actively working to get people married.”

Getting people married and keeping them married are two different things!! Marriage, or Holy Matrimony is a Sacrament, or at least in my church it is. Trouble is most don’t view it this way. Go in marriage only for lust then that marriage is doomed from the beginning. The American Indians did better with arranged marriages because the couple was forced to find favorable attributes in one another. Not so in a culture with no fault divorce.

That is still true in many parts of the world.

But what we have to work with is the culture we are in and we have to do the best we can with what we have.

People who are unchurched and yet walk into a church looking for something, cannot be rejected because we don’t like their lifestyle or lifestyle choices. They must be discipled.

God will change them to do what is right by changing their hearts.

Jesus rejected no one even though He told them to go and sin no more.
