Does God Condone Adultery?
If someone divorces then remarries, they commit adultery. How then can God condone the new marriage?
This one’s hard to describe. Let me post a portion of the original question sent to Tim.
I feel the church that I attend is becoming a seeker friendly church and is trying to avoid “so called” controversial topics like hell, various types of sins, obedience to God, materialism, etc. There is one topic that Jesus talks about that I doubt I will ever hear in my church and that is the subject of divorce. Divorce is a big problem in this country and “Christian” couples seem to be just as likely to get divorced as non-Christian couples even though it should not be this way. What I read and understand from Jesus, is that God wants married couples to remain married (Matthew 19:6, Malachi 2:16). Paul also says not to get divorced (1 Corinthians 7:10-11). I also read that if a couple does get divorced for anything other than unfaithfulness and then either the husband or wife remarries, they are committing adultery in the new marriage (Matthew 19:9, Matthew 5:32, Mark 10:11-12). My question to Tim is this, if a Christian couple gets divorced for any reason other than unfaithfulness, and then either or both remarry, are they committing adultery? If they are committing adultery, are they forgiven by God even though they are continually sinning in this new relationship? Since repentance is the turning away from sin and not wanting to do it (a change of heart and mind), I do not understand how a divorced couple that has been remarried is not sinning.

New Year
A Christian poem by Mike Bullock reminding us to make a difference for Jesus this year.
O.K. I realize it’s nowhere close to the beginning of 2010; in fact, it’s about the middle of the year, but I will say that Mike submitted this poem on January 2, 2010. I’m just a little behind in updating the site (O.K., a lot). Anyway, Mike, thanks for the submission. I love the poem and I love the message. Let this poem motivate you to live for Christ and really make a difference for the rest of 2010.
Christopher’s Testimony
Read Christopher’s testimony – the story of how God opened the ears and eyes of an unbelieving scientist.
It’s pretty amazing when God steps in and changes someone’s life. What’s even more amazing is when it’s a person who’s already convinced that God is a myth. Check out Christopher’s testimony – the story of how God opened the ears and eyes of an unbelieving scientist.

Biff’s Christian Testimony
Biff’s story of dying to self and committing fully to the Jesus of the Bible. It’s also the story of his reconciliation with his father.
Here’s an interesting testimony (it’s a long one). I thought I’d post it as a contrast to the super-short one I posted yesterday!
Anyway, in it, Biff tells the story of how he hated his father. He talks about his life before he fully committed to the Jesus of the Bible; he talks about the difficulty of “dying” to self and giving up everything to live as a true disciple of Jesus Christ. Read it and be encouraged and convicted as I was.
