Study of Scripture:  2 Timothy 4:1-4; Romans 12:2; Ephesians 5:1-33

On this episode of the Preacher Man Milo Bible Study podcast, Milo uses a practical cultural example from summer 2020 to demonstrate Godly entanglement as opposed to worldly entanglement.

In July of 2020, Will Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith were in the news because of the revelation that they had an open marriage. Will explained that they believe that one person can’t make another person happy, so the best thing for their marriage was for both of them to seek their own individual happiness and then come together while already happy.  

Milo uses Romans 12:2, 2 Timothy 4:1-4, and Ephesians 5:1-33 to discuss why the view of the Smiths is the view of the world and he outlines the way of the Word as it relates to marriage.  Preacher Man Milo teaches that while a husband and wife still aren’t capable of making each other happy, their happiness together should be rooted in Christ and pursuing His purposes together.

“The power of your preaching needs to be the Word of God.” 

“If you don’t both love Jesus Christ, it is a false romantic concept.”
