Pastor Miles began today’s message with a Biblical metaphor: human marriage is a representation of God’s relationship with us. He is the groom, preparing heaven for us, and we, the bride, are to prepare ourselves for Him.

Just as the Bible compares a godly relationship to marriage, it compares our worship of anything (other than God) to adultery. Adultery can easily kill a human marriage, making it nearly impossible to recover. Similarly, the worship of idols, even putting our trust in things other than God, can destroy our relationship with Him.
