I have been impressed with the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ).  Please do not confuse this with the ACLU which is sometimes quite hostile toward Christianity and healthy moral and ethical standards. The lawyers of the ACLJ fight for the rights of Christians.  And, this is great.  Still, some issues are more important than others, and [...]

James 4:11-12

11 Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it. 12 There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?

One thing divorce and drug abuse have in common is they are both bad solutions to ordinary problems.

In fact, neither drug abuse nor divorce are solutions. They are escapes. When people sign up for marriage, they sign up to be warriors of love, honoring, cherishing, making choices to seek wisdom to create a family together with somebody and bless that family with love.

Divorce -- The Worst Child Abuse

Depriving children of the faithful love between their parents is as abusive as depriving them of food, clothing, water, and air. Too many times adults try to comfort themselves with the notion that the children will be OK, but that does nothing at all for the children and only helps sooth the consciences of their unfaithful and unloving parents.

What if somebody threw scalding hot water into the face of a child an said, "Children are resilient and heal quickly?"

Yet we throw scalding hot divorces into the face of our children and say, "Children are resilient and will be OK if we handle this divorce like adults."

Nothing shows more cowardice or contempt for our children's well-being than when we shelter ourselves from their suffering so we can divorce comfortably.

Divorce and adultery are among the most severe forms of child and spousal abuse.

Suggested Reading

• Breaking Free From the Affair by Dr. Bob Huizenga
• The Anatomy of an Affair by Dr. Reena Sommers

Mark 6:17-18
17: For Herod himself had given orders to have John arrested, and he had him bound and put in prison. He did this because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, whom he had married.

18: For John had been saying to Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife."

Questions

1. Did Herod marry Philip's wife? (See verse 17)
2. Did John say it was ok for them to stay married since they had already married?
3. Do you defend second marriages between unfaithful spouses and their affair partners, or do you admonish the unfaithful to divorce the second spouse and return to the first spouse?

One of the hardest thing for many victims of adultery and divorce to do is to set aside pride and get help when it is needed. We feel disgusted and angry with lazy people who coast through life on welfare while letting everyone else pay. But, we fail to see that there are times when using welfare is the wise and honorable thing to do.
