Divorce is Morally Acceptable

Or so say 70% of Americans. According to Gallup, this is an 11-point jump from seven years ago. To call this tragic would be understating it. I can't help but think that the Christian church has done little to stem this tide and, in some ways, has only bolstered this spurious, unbiblical belief.

May we trust not in our self-wrought desires but in a God who loves us and who has sovereignly brought together each marriage for our joy and his glory. If we esteem marriage to the degree God does, we will not only save many marriages but will, in turn, show the world what we truly hope in (especially by fixing those marriages no one thought would succeed). Pray and fight.

Mark 10:9: "What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate."
