The message was unmistakable. This brave pastoral spouse shared to a young Vineyard Church about her experience of being sexually … Continue reading “Feeling like used, discarded tissue”

Hosea Exception, NOT Rule!

When the Lord began to speak by Hosea, the Lord said to Hosea: “Go, take yourself a wife of harlotry And children of harlotry, For the land has committed great harlotry By departing from the Lord.”  – Hosea 1:2, NKJV What strikes me as in the last post is how biblically educated men can miss how this was a very special call upon … Continue reading “Hosea Exception, NOT Rule!”

Marriage resurrection is a miracle, not normal outcome.

Too much and too little patience

You are so proud of yourselves, but you should be mourning in sorrow and shame. And you should remove this man from your fellowship. -I  Corinthians 5:2, NLT In my experience, Christians often have too much patience for Cheaters and too little for their victims–i.e. faithful spouses.

A resurrection, NOT a remodel!

43 Then Jesus shouted, “Lazarus, come out!” 44 And the dead man came out, his hands and feet bound in graveclothes, his face wrapped in a headcloth. Jesus told them, “Unwrap him and let him go!” John 11:43-44, NLT Marital infidelity kills marriages. It does this by striking the heart of this covenant relationship–namely, fidelity. Without such fidelity, trust is … Continue reading “A resurrection, NOT a remodel!”

“But for the grace of God, there go I, too!” Hogwash

“I won’t judge. But by the grace of God, there go I, too!” says Cheater apologist. This sounds so good and high minded. The person saying such things comes across as a super Christian. But this statement really just reveals ignorance on their part… Someone saying this is assuming much about cheating. They are treating … Continue reading ““But for the grace of God, there go I, too!” Hogwash”

They might exhibit tears like these Cheaters in Malachi 2:13. BUT God is … Continue reading “Cheater waterworks”
