The Word of God

Our preacher is doing expository messages through the book of Mark.

Today he found himself in chapter ten and needing to deal with the unpopular subject of divorce.

He did a great job!

A lot of preachers I know would have “skirted” those verses.

The building was jammed packed. (Probably 2,000 people) How many of us needed to hear this message? I don’t know. I do know the divorce rate in the Phoenix area is high. The preacher never said that divorce is the unforgiveable sin. He realizes that it is going to happen. What he was doing was discouraging it.

It does my heart good to know that the man in the pulpit is going to deal with every Scripture he comes to in an honest way and not try to skip over any of them.

Amen.
