DIVORCE... IT IS MUCH BETTER NOT TO MARRY!

BIBLICAL THOUGHTS ON DIVORCE.

 

 

I'm Writing This On Demand From Friends But With Utmost Sense Of Humility And Responsibility In A Very Sad Mood! These Are Sober Times For The Church. The Fall Of The Strong Is Never A Good News To The Weak. If Our Ego Swells By The Yeast Of Importance At The Calamity Of Others, We Are Bound To Burst Into Chaos.

 

1. These Are Days Pastors, Parents, Internet And Friends Join People Together. No Wonder We Have People Putting Asunder! (No matter through whom you meet, is God leading you to it?)

 

2. No Matter The Modernized Reality Of The 21st Century, Divorce Is Never A Righteous Decision. Divorce Is Never An End To A Failed Marriage, It Is The Beginning Of Fatal Damage!

 

3. We Live In A Time When People Love To Make Choices Without Facing The Consequences. If There Are Differences In A Marriage Between Spouses, Especially When Life Is Threatened, Separation (not divorce) Should Be A Step Towards The Opportunity For Reconciliation!
 

4. Marriages Are Meant For A Lifetime, "Until Death Do Us Part!" You Don't Take A Vow Before The Lord Among His People And Change Your Mind At Wish! (worse still... Go to course to "unvow"!)

 

5. Adultery Is A Reason For Separation In Marriage, But It's Never A License To Re- Marry! Two Wrongs Don't Make A Right!

 

6. If A Pastor's Wife Leaves Him And Joins Another Man, Ministerial Challenges And Pressure From Opposite Sex Do Not Overrule The Scripture! Paul And Jesus Were Single Pastors And They Survived.

 

7. Areas We Are Called Into Self Discipline Include Power, Money And SEX!

 

8. Marriage Is Never A Cure For Untamed Libido, It Is Discipline!

 

9. We Will Not Be Rewarded For Success In Our Secondary Assignments, If We Fail In Our Primary Place Of Service! We Are Not To "Cleave" To Ministry, But To Our Spouses In Marriage!

 

10. Nothing Is Superior To Family In God's Economy! That Has Nothing To Do With My Spouse's Understanding. Once I Make The Choice To Cleave To Her As A Life-Mate, I Have No Right To Rescind From An Oath And Spiritual Affidavit Witnessed By Jesus!

 

11. Sometimes, Spouses Could Be Terrible And Very "Unreasonable", Even Possessed With An Evil Spirit Or Obsessed By Self Or Wrong Influences. The Precedence Of Making Them Our Choices In The First Place, Strips Us Of Any Right To Put Them Away, Until God Initiates The Best Solution Which Could Be Death Or Change!

 

12. Divorce May Not Be Physical. I Daily See Christian Couples Who Are Emotionally And Psychologically Divorced, Yet They Wear "Uniforms" To Church On Sundays!

 

13. Be Well Guided (esp. By God) Before You Say "I Do", And After, You Must Learn To Live With The Consequences Of Your Choices In Life! You Cannot Have Your Cake And Eat It Or Vice Versa!

 

(THIS IS PROBABLY THE UNDERSTANDING PETER HAD THAT MAKE HIM TO CONCLUDE THAT IT IS BETTER NOT TO MARRY!)
