REMINDER
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails.


-1 Corinthians 13:4-8 NIV

Let's Be Plain About This...


"I don't think gay marriage is any threat to marriage. So that's not why I'm voting the way I did. I think divorce is a bigger problem to marriage than anything else."
- Rick Warren

Let's be plain:

Divorce and remarriage is adultery.

Period.
No "kinda"s,
no "sorta"s,
no "if"s, and
no "but they..."s.

I don't care what Dr. Phil thinks.
I'll stand by what the Bible plainly says:

Divorce and remarriage is adultery.

This isn't about judging people any more than saying that intentionally killing someone with premeditation is murder.
This is about plain and simple truth.

Jesus did not give an escape clause... it's adultery.
Forget the special circumstances... it's adultery.
Ignore the excuses and explanations... it's adultery.
Toss the explanations about "Truth and Grace"... it's adultery.
Speculate no more about kindness... it's adultery.

Do we really believe that any situation is going to be made better by adding adultery to the mix?

Do we really believe that supporting adultery is kindness?

Do we really believe that God didn't understand the implications when He spoke to this issue?

Is God's Truth only Truth when we agree with it?

Divorce and remarriage is adultery.


"Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,

who put darkness for light
and light for darkness,

who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter."

- Isaiah 5:20

  1. Ouch! My wife had a failed 3 month marriage/divorce when she was 18. We have now been married 13 years and have four beautiful children and are stiving for a God fearing/pleasing home. I am convicted here. Praise God!

Pretty much a sinner through and through. I have two daughters and a son. God has blessed me over and over on a scale that defies any relationship to my faithfulness to Him. I'm just trying to do right by the people I know and love more of them better, (while practicing hard at being a grumpy old man.)
