But if I say, “I will not mention his word or speak anymore in his name,” his word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones.”

-Jeremiah 20:9a, NIV

I have been blogging now for over a decade.

At times, I have considered shutting down this ministry. However, I still feel the call is to keep it running to help those who read and are in the middle of the fire of infidelity discovery.

The Church still needs to hear the message of this blog:

Taking Adultery Seriously!

So, I persist.

I persist for the faithful spouse who is struggling with her faith and considering the future after yet another awful discovery.

I persist for the faithful spouse who is gutted after a horrid confession by his wife about her “friend.”

I persist for those wondering how to actually help and support their faithful spouse friend after such a devastating discovery.

But most importantly, I persist because I feel God continues to call me to persist!

While your site’s primary focus of “Taking adultery seriously” does not apply to my personal situation, I have read because you have helped me to:
– Understand how a person can claim to be a Christian while embracing sin.
– Understand why/how the parents of the sinner justify pointing their finger at the aggrieved(?) spouse.
-Understand why/how church leaders take the easy way by “counseling” the aggrieved spouse to ‘forgive as Jesus has forgiven you.’
-Understand why/how one’s “friends” will abandon the aggrieved spouse because it is easier than dealing with the truth.

I continue to read for the same reason I read through the Bible each year – to keep fresh the information so that I do NOT treat someone as I was treated by my wife’s parents, the church leadership, nor those friends who have gone by the wayside.

And I hope you continue this ministry, because – 1.(to be selfish) it is easier for me to point someone who is hurting and confused to your website, where you have answered the questions that they are too afraid to ask of their own church leaders; rather than my trying to remember everything. 2. To show that same person that he/she is not alone.
