So...You sinned, and want to serve the Lord?
What's stopping you? We know God forgives our sins. Sadly though, humans do not always follow God's example. As far as marriage is concerned I kind of understand it, as Paul says whoever is living in adultery will not inherit the kingdom of God (1. Corinthians 6:9-11)... Ofcourse, this is a deep theological debate I will not go into now. But it alone makes me want to study theology. What is meant by it?
Anyway... We are all sinners. We all fall short of God's grace. none of us can buy our own ticket in to heaven. We cannot follow the law, so we need the mercy of Christ. That is as true for a pastor as it is for everyone else.
So you're divorced... Serve Him anyway. I bet it'll be harder to become a pastor in many congregations, but... Try. If God has called you, He will find a way. Trust Him and follow Him.
