2 “How long will you defend the unjust and show partiality to the wicked? 3 Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed. 4 Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.” -Psalm 82:2-4, NIV How can justice be done if we refuse to acknowledge the existence … Continue reading “Refusing to see victims!”

Happy Easter, Faithful Spouses!
…but the angel said, “Don’t be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead! Look, this is where they laid his body.” -Mark 16:6, NLT Resurrection Sunday. I am sure many of us have heard stories about God doing the impossible on Resurrection … Continue reading “Happy Easter, Faithful Spouses!”
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. Cheaters are given chance after chance to repent. … Continue reading “Too much and too little patience”
Hosea’s special life calling
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’s special life calling”
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”
“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!”
