If a man carry treasure in bullion, or in a wedge of gold, and have none coined into current money, his treasure will not defray him as he travels.

“God never commands us to divorce a cheater.” – Christian “expert” “Technically true, God never explicitly commands us to divorce a cheater.

Seared Consciences
But the [Holy] Spirit explicitly and unmistakably declares that in later times some will turn away from the faith…[misled] by the hypocrisy of liars whose consciences are seared as with a branding iron [leaving them incapable of ethical functioning]…. -I Timothy 4:1a,2, AMP When a cheater is telling their spouse, pastor, and/or Christian counselor that … Continue reading “Seared Consciences”
Pastors, please do not assume the affair is over!
Just because a cheater has agreed to see a Christian counselor or pastor to work on the marriage does not necessarily mean the cheater has ended the affair. It boggles my mind to think a cheater would attend Christian marriage counseling with a therapist or pastor while secretly continuing to cheat. But it happens! I know … Continue reading “Pastors, please do not assume the affair is over!”

When hating is godly….
Let those who love the LORD hate evil, for he guards the lives of his faithful ones and delivers them from the hand of the wicked. -Psalm 97:10, NIV Like anger, hate often is treated as always wrong among Christians. It is not! Here in Psalm 97, we have a command to hate. In fact, it … Continue reading “When hating is godly….”
Cheaters Choose To Harden Their Hearts
And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the people go. -Exodus 8:32, KJV Cheaters become cheaters by going down “The Road of Bad Choices.” They have hard hearts because they have chosen to harden their hearts just as Pharaoh did.
