Lk.16:18 - Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.

Apparently a number of people skip over this or must think He wasn't serious when He said this. They believe that they are the exception.
Same as when both Paul and Peter say: Wives, submit to your own husband as to the Lord.
Wives remember: I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me - even this.
Divorce is not the unpardonable sin, however, this pervasive and somewhat acceptable practice mirrors the world and compromises the spiritual integrity of the church. It is another sign that the culture has infiltrated the church.
odd timing of this entry..just a few days ago I reminded a conservative friend of mine to beware of idolizing Ronald Reagan and elevating the sin of homosexuality above others. Reagan was a divorced man, was known to have affairs during his 1st marriage, and his second wife, Nancy was pregnant 2 months before they wed...
I am not saying Ronald Reagan is somehow worse a sinner than us all, but the LORD never said homosexuality was "more" grievous than adultery. And indeed Reagan was an adulterer.
Additional communications to me may be e-mailed to spcrick@msn.com. Any negative e-mails will be deleted without response, however sincere questions will be answered. I seek edification and deeper knowledge of Christ and His truth not a destructive and meaningless religious chatter. May God's Spirit open all of our hearts to Him.
I am an ordained Baptist minister but more importantly I am a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. I was saved in 1975 watching Billy Graham on television after having lived a wicked and Christless life. I graduated with a three year degree from Trinity Bible College in Dunedin, Florida. I have three children, two grandsons, and one granddaughter. I not only see the obvious falling away of the present day church, but I humbly acknowledge that we all are in desperate need of a massive revival. I hope this blog ministers to you, and may Jesus Himself receive all the preeminence!

Double standards at work.
