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”
“I’m trapped!” Immaturity
Even a child is known by his deeds, Whether what he does is pure and right. -Proverbs 20:11, NKJV “I’m trapped!” exclaims Cheater. This mentality frustrates me. I am mostly frustrated thinking about how pastors or counselors might take this bait from the Cheater. They fail to call the Cheater to account. Unless someone held a gun to … Continue reading ““I’m trapped!” Immaturity”
Can’t go back. Must move forward!
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. -Psalm 23:4, KJV You cannot go back. Time does not work that way. You cannot un-know what you now know. Knowledge does not work that … Continue reading “Can’t go back. Must move forward!”
Cheater waterworks
And this is the second thing you do: You cover the altar of the Lord with tears, With weeping and crying; So He does not regard the offering anymore, Nor receive it with goodwill from your hands. -Malachi 2:13, NKJV Cheaters might cry over their infidelity. They might exhibit tears like these Cheaters in Malachi 2:13. BUT God is … Continue reading “Cheater waterworks”
Just a footnote to your awesome story!
The Lord blessed the latter part of Job’s life more than the former part. -Job 42:12a, NIV Looking back is odd these days, I feel like I am considering a stranger as I think about my first marriage. God has truly blessed the second part of my life. I feel tremendously grateful for all He has poured … Continue reading “Just a footnote to your awesome story!”
What if the infidelity predated the marriage?
Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge. -Hebrews 13:4, NKJV What if you find out your spouse cheated on you while you were dating or engaged but kept it a secret? This is damaging on multiple levels: First, you have the cheating. Discovering cheating is a real gut punch. … Continue reading “What if the infidelity predated the marriage?”
Psalm 51 Lesson
For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me. Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight; so you are right in your verdict and justified when you judge. -Psalm 51:3-4, NIV King David allegedly penned this Psalm after being confronted by the Prophet Nathan … Continue reading “Psalm 51 Lesson”
SO many lies!
You belong to your father, the devil…. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. -John 8:44a, c, NIV SO MANY LIES! You cannot cheat, I believe, without lying. The Cheater is lying to others besides their partner. Plus, I believe they start by lying … Continue reading “SO many lies!”
Cheater Ingratitude
“She cheated on you? Well, did you take her for granted?” -Cruel, Cheater-Apologist Pastor What I find interesting about accusations about ingratitude is how they seem one-sided when a cheater is involved. The faithful spouse is fair game to be criticized for not showing enough gratitude for their spouse. This is doubly the case if … Continue reading “Cheater Ingratitude”
