Cheaters Are NOT Martyrs But Rather Aggressors!
And don’t you realize that if a man joins himself to a prostitute, he becomes one body with her? For the Scriptures say, “The two are united into one.” –I Corinthians 6:16, NLT Cheaters seem to enjoy playing the “martyr card.” They claim their spouse did not give them enough sex or emotional attention. “We … Continue reading “Cheaters Are NOT Martyrs But Rather Aggressors!”
I speak as an evangelical chaplain.
I am an evangelical, ordained minister and professional chaplain. This website tackles infidelity from those lenses.

The Spirit Of Stupid
Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him all the more. He said to them, “Listen to this dream I had: We were binding sheaves of grain out in the field when suddenly my sheaf rose and stood upright, while your sheaves gathered around mine and bowed down … Continue reading “The Spirit Of Stupid”
Yea, that’s not God…
“God wants me to be happy! God gave us this [illicit] love for each other, therefore we’re meant to be!” “I met x because God wanted me to meet him/her.” “God sent me (affair partner’s name).” I’ll keep this short and sweet: If God is telling you to be with someone else’s spouse, that’s not … Continue reading “Yea, that’s not God…”
