It's amazing how people try to justify all kinds of evil behavior. Especially in a divorce--people will justify saying and doing really unkind things without thinking twice. It's a shame but it seems like concepts such as character, commitment, purity and kindness are even missing in much of the church today. Often we get so sidetracked on political or doctrinal issues that we forget the simple message that Jesus preached. The message that we should "love the Lord our God with all our hearts, mind, soul and strength-and we should love our neighbors as we love ourselves." Jesus is coming back for a bride that is spotless and pure. As Christ followers we need to start walking out who God created us to be. Not out of a fear of judgement--but out of a lovesick desire to live our lives to honor our Lord.
Ephesians 5:27 ESV
"So that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish."
