Thie weekend, my niece got married to a fine young Jewish guy (nothing wrong in that). The 'Officiating pastor' was non-denominational and during the service, there was NOT ONE MENTION OF GOD. Not even a hint of reference of any kind to the same. Not even during the exchange of vows, or rings. God was 'kicked-out' of the very institution of marriage that He established. This verse in Matt. kept running over & over in my mind. I even asked my young teenage daughters before the Reception this Q: "Who was missing during the ceremony?" They both told me that they said to each other during the ceremony, the God was not mentioned, or even eluded to.

During the Reception, the first song was a Jewish song in which they all formed several layered circles and danced around. And then they put the bride and groom on chairs and raised them up and down over their heads for a few minutes as the music played. Then they did both sets of parents. I know this is probably a Jewish custom, or ritual; but the feeling that I got is that I was smack-dab in Ceci B Demil's Ten Commandments, when they were making the golden calf and all the dancing and partying going on.
I thought to myself that if the rapture shofar was sounded right then & there, I would never have heard it for all the noise and 'partying'.

I do wish my niece and her new husband the best, but the elimination of God (and His blessing on this marriage) really did sadden me.
