I am going to continue to use our bodies as an example as I continue to discuss Sacred Acts and Sacred Time. I want to spend more time discussing Sacred Acts and Sacred Time because I feel that we only discussed these important points briefly. As stated in the last post, our bodies have Sacred Parts because they contain the power of God ( the ability to create life, joy, and prosperity). We can enjoy the fruits of the power of God if we use our Sacred Parts in Sacred Acts, at a Sacred Time, and in Sacred Places. We profane our Sacred Parts when we do not use them in Sacred Acts, at a Sacred Time, and in Sacred Places.
Sexual intercourse between a man and a woman is the Sacred Act in which we use our Sacred Body Parts because it is the only act through which we can produce life, joy, and prosperity with our Sacred body parts.
Sexual intercourse between a man and a woman can profane the Sacred Parts of our body if it is not done at a Sacred Time. The Marriage of a man and a woman marks the time when they are allowed to engage with each other in the Sacred Act of Sexual intercourse. Marriage is the ceremony through which a man and a woman make commitments to each other, and to God. As we learned in the post called "To Love and Lust Thee Not", commitment is the key difference between love and lust. Therefore, the commitment of Marriage shows that each party LOVES the other, and not merely LUSTS the other. To engage in Sexual intercourse before marriage is fornication; it is a Sacred Act that is performed outside of Sacred Time, and therefore, it profanes the Body. Fornication profanes the body because the relationship lacks the love necessary to create a LIVELY, JOYFUL, and PROSPEROUS family.
Marriage is a legally and religiously binding relationship that gives permanence to the family.
Studies show that children excel when they are raised in families that are grounded in a stable marriage (http://news.wustl.edu/news/Pages/4669.aspx). In a sacred context, life prospers within the Sacred Space of a stable family home. Stable family homes are created when a man and a woman keep their marital vows. In other words, when Sacred Acts are performed at a Sacred Time, then life can happily prosper in the Sacred Space of a stable family.
Let us not forget the importance of using Sacred Things, in Sacred Acts, at a Sacred Time, and in Sacred Space.
