A Tragedy in Todays World

The marriages that are under attack today are increasing rapidly.  Until we understand that life and marriage is an apprenticeship for the practice of God's love.  Until we learn this and achieve this we are  going to spend years in regrets and disappointments.

Do I believe that every marriage that has experience infidelity in their marriage can be saved? Yes, if we are all humbled, repented and have asked God and our spouse to forgive us.  If one spouse is not, I do not believe in giving up on them, I believe we should pray for them and ask God to open their eyes to the enemy.  Some marriages will not be restored, but we should continue to pray and seek God.  Just because our marriages aren't restored doesn't mean we give up on God or better yet He has given up on us.  Our names are written in the palm of Him hand, He has a plan for us. We have a ministry and that is to help others.

1 Thessalonians 5:11 

11 Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.

These are demonic days in which almost all cherished values are crumbling.  The world is adrift in a ocean of uncertainty and doubt.  Society is in a state of shock.  The social order is disintegrating.  Moral chaos thrives.  This invasion of sex-oriented demons, driving up the divorce rate and destroying the institution of marriage, the home and the family. The good news is that God can use this very situation to develop His unconditional love in us.

One of the greatest opportunities for learning God's unconditional love is presented to the spouses whose mate has become the victim of promiscuous sex demons.  There is no greater temptation to bitterness than the unfaithfulness of your spouse.  Thousands are being caught in this sin everyday.  If one allows to have the mind set of  resentment, self-pity, and revenge, we have wasted our pain and hurt.  But if we understand that grace can overrule this pain and hurt and use it for teaching God's unconditional love,  we may be able to use His unspeakable anguish for everlasting gain.  Not many do, but some of us have triumphed.

Romans 5:3-5

3 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

    We thank God everyday for you guys who stood by us and encouraged us. You, Ernie and others that made those calls and stopping by every time I thought I couldn't do it. The prayers that were lifted up for us and the God who tells us that He is BIGGER than any storm that we could go through.
    Continuing to pray for you guys, we love you sooo much.
