10. Career minded brides-to-be.
Let’s
make sure we start asking brides what they intend to do after the
wedding. The bible is clear- women should be “keepers of the home.” If
the bride is career minded or dislikes housework, just tell her “no cake
for you!” because you wouldn’t want to endorse a lifestyle that goes
against God’s created order.
9. When they’re gluttons or over-eating will take place at the wedding.
Over-eating
is a very serious sin, my dear brothers and sisters. Since it is by
definition greed, and the Bible calls greed idol worship, we need to
make sure that we are not endorsing idol worship. If you have any second
thought about this couple over-eating (worshiping idols) you need to
refrain from participating in their sin- just say, “no cake for you!”
8. Weddings where there will be drunkenness.
As
the brave Christian patriots have argued in the gay wedding cake
situations, you need to remember that selling a person a cake is a direct endorsement
of their wedding. You’ll want to make sure no one invited to the
wedding will be getting drunk (over .08 BAC in most states), because
drunk people go to hell, and you don’t want to endorse a behavior that
automatically gets people sent to hell.
7. Individuals getting remarried who do not have biblical justification for a prior divorce.
This
one is easy but serious- one can only get divorced for two reasons: (a)
the other spouse committed adultery, or (b) one was married to an
unbeliever who abandoned the believing spouse. Those are the only
biblical justifications for divorce, and anything other than those two
scenarios means that remarriage will be adultery and fornication. You
don’t want to endorse that do you?
6. Weddings where there will be unwholesome music and provocative dancing.
The
Bible is clear that no unwholesome talk should come out of our mouths,
but that’s pretty much what dance music is these days. To make matters
worse, folks will often “bump and grind” or “twerk” on the dance floor
to this unwholesome music. Remember, if you sell them a cake, you are
directly endorsing all of the unwholesome music and sexually provocative
behavior that will happen in that ballroom. Don’t take the chance
folks– just say, “no cake for you!”
5. Young military couples.
I know it’s
fun to use those military cake toppers, but that’s a n0-no folks. The
Bible clearly states in Deuteronomy 24 that a man cannot serve in the
military during his first year of marriage. If you sell a cake to that
young military couple, you will be endorsing a lifestyle that is
directly rebelling against God’s inerrant word. Don’t do it! No more
military wedding cakes.
4. Weddings where one spouse-to-be works at a bank.
The
Bible in Ezekiel makes it clear that charging interest on a loan is an
abomination and that such a person should be put to death. If your
customer works at a bank, they are an abomination to the Lord (for the
Lord changes not) and you don’t want to endorse an abomination, do you?
Refusing to endorse abomination is what this movement is about– so don’t
forget those bankers!
3. Mixed faith weddings.
Remember
folks, the Bible tells us we must not be “unequally yoked.” That means
you need to find out the faith background of the couple you’re selling a
cake to. If one is a Christian and one is not (or say, if one is a real
Christian but the other is a fake Christian like an Episcopal), you
need to boldly say “no cake for you!” — and should probably throw in a
solid “repent ye!” as well.
2. Non-Christians.
The
only thing worse than an unequally yoked couple is a couple where both
of them are part of a false religion, or worse, atheism. Did you know
that by selling a cake to a Hindu you’re actually endorsing the worship
of Shiva and all the other Hindu gods? It’s true- you are. Same with
selling a wedding cake to atheists- it’s basically as if you’re saying,
“yeah, Richard Dawkins is right.” We need to be BOLD for the Lord,
because if we sell cakes to atheists, Hindus, or God forbid, a
Muslim, we are endorsing that entire belief system.
1. Weddings where the bride will wear an expensive wedding dress.
Finally,
before you sell someone a cake, you need to look at the receipt for the
wedding dress and make sure that it wasn’t expensive. Why? Well, Paul
clearly states that women should not be adorning themselves with
expensive apparel, and an expensive wedding dress would count. Just
think about what you’re saying if you sell her a wedding cake: you’re
saying that Jesus was a liar, because Jesus inspired Paul and Paul said
that women shouldn’t have expensive clothes. You don’t want to call
Jesus a liar do you? Far better it is to say, “no cake for you!”
