For me, repentance came from a recognition of how I had sinned against God. I used to have the "worldly repentance" spoken of in 2 Corinthians 7:10, which was pretty much me singing the blues about al;l I had done to people, the consequences I faced as a result, and how much I hurt so-and-so...

Where is it, in Gods Word, where it says that a woman whose husband has abandoned her repeatedly, blasphemes God, desires a divorce, and has rejected all aspects of an apparent "attempt" at a Salvific relationship with Jesus must let him divorce her and then wait until he dies or remarries...

God is not in a bad mood.

You do realize that the Corinthians were being taught monogamous marriage by Paul, don't you? That church was beset by sexual sin, due to the pagan sex culture that was in Corinth. Temple Prostitution and so forth. The Corinthian Church was initially accepting incest, fornication, and forced...

Not really. Her situation involves repeated abandonment, blasphemy, and an apparent unbeliever wanting to move on. She is not sinning. She is actually staying well inside His will by not making the marriage an idol. Don't attempt to shame her. She is on the right path.

I just think of this when I get bogged down in this sort of thing. God didn't forgive me my sins, bring me into relationship with Him, just to then beat me up for what He forgave me for. God doesn't beat His children. He will correct, teach, and discipline. But you WILL feel His love and...

I will give you this. Probably won't be much comfort, but it is reality. I am 50. Most of my adult life I chased women, and I caught many of them. It was a waste. A terrible waste of my life. And it has created huge problems and consequences in my life, that I still am dealing with...

You are dealing with the reality of living in a broken world. If your husband was once a strong believer, and you honestly did not think you were unequally yoked, then this is just like cancer, getting struck by lightning, or getting mugged on the street. It is a broken world. God works by...

Just found out, with full proof and actual admission when I confronted her, that she was sexually involved with the guy. She had denied it over and over, but today some things were revealed, pictures, some messages, and so forth. I just sort of stumbled upon them. I confronted her, she got mad...

God is not going to make changes in your husband at some cost to you like your sanity. You need to get off of that road. I have no idea what God will do, but He is not going to take you in your struggle and sacrifice you to "save" your husband in his.

I would say this... If in a specific or general career path you can: 1. Honor God 2. Serve God 3. Witness to God 4. Have time for God The path is okay with God. He probably isn't going to use His celestial hand to push you into someones HR office. He will, however, use you where you go.

Krystal, I will offer you this. This is a lot of personal experience on my part, some victory, some places where I failed, other places where I am firm, and others where I am struggling and weak. You can filter it all out yourself, and you may very well understand some of it in your own life...

Heroin and Jack Daniel's helps me with mine. Not really. But that is a fairly poor argument.

It is more than that, even. The husband and wife submit to God. Jointly and individually. Then, all a the same basic time: 1. The husband places himself in the servant position to the wife, putting her well being and life above his, sacrificing self for her, dying to self for her, modeling...
