That pursuit advice is trash.
“I know she cheated. But what you need to do is pursue her like Christ did His Bride, the Church,” says naive Christian leader. The pursuit advice is trash.

They minimize.
“She’s just a friend.” “It was only one kiss.” “I was drunk; it doesn’t mean anything.” Cheaters minimize. It is what they do. In fact, I think that is what we all do as sinners to some extent.

Unexpected Confessions

Done with overly “religious”
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness.” -Matthew 23:27, NKJV When I started dating again, I decided I did not want an overtly religious partner.

Hardened their hearts
But Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also; neither would he let the people go. -Exodus 8:32, NKJV I do not know if it is demonic or simply human nature to harden one’s heart to God’s ways.
