“ Extremely Vital Message! ” Christian marriage is the portrait of Christ and His Church. However, the "exception clause" (Matthew 19:9) coupled with "no fault" divorce laws (Circa 1969) have led millions of baptized Christians to divorce for virtually any cause. Further, the Westminster Confession of Faith (WCF) 24:5 gives a Christian license to "sue out a divorce" in direct violation of Paul's warning to never sue each other and if we ever do, Paul states that Christians are "completely defeated already" (1 Cor 6:7). In summary: The Gospel is defeated. There are many baptized Christians sitting next to us in the pews who unbiblically divorced their spouses, are remarried living adulterous lives yet remain members in good standing even in the most conservative denominations. Add the 800 lb Gorilla -- 24/7 access to pornography -- THE number one form of adultery -- to the mix and you have a witch's cauldron spilling over into every church and denomination. Now, with porn-addicted zombie-husbands and zombie-pastors, guess what'll happen to the divorce rate in the church? Boom! Through the roof. As shattered as it is now, what will this portrait of Christ and His Church look like in 20 years if we do nothing? Christ have mercy upon us. Covenant matters. Vows matter. The Gospel matters.
