Fornication To Fiancee *

I heard a minister speak on how the church has changed, over the years. This minister wasn't very old, so we aren't talking about a huge span of time here. It just shows the rapid propulsion, with which we have sunk to our present level. I was looking around at the things that are acceptable, and common in churches today. The length of things in question, is quite long. Too long to try and talk about here.One thing that I thought best summarized the discussion, is a quote by Paula White. I don't know if she was the first, or even the only one to say it. She was the one given the credit though. She said "we have started calling our sex partners something different". The people we sleep with for extended periods of time, out of wed-lock. We have gone from "fornication to fiancee". That is the title, we now give our long standing bed partners. If you don't think she was right. Look at those you know, who have been engaged several times. Not to mention those who have been with their present partner for several years. Still calling them their fiance or fiancee. I mention them both because one applies to a man and one to a woman. It crosses gender lines.Talking about a future marriage, that never comes. Fiancees and fiances don't remain one indefinitely, they become spouses. If you're sleeping with someone you aren't married to. It's simply called fornication.
