Getting Through the Tough Stuff of Re-marriage, Part 3

The idyllic marital bliss of Adam and Eve was split in two when sin wedged itself between them. Everything changed, between this couple and every other couple in history. Divorces are epidemic, and though the causes are myriad, at their root is sin. One partner's sin may be overt, but the failure that results in a broken marriage is invariably a two-way journey traveled by two guilty sinners. But once the divorce is finalized, the question often arises: “Is remarriage always permissible . . . never permissible . . . sometimes permissible?” What does Scripture say?Download Message Mates To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1118/29?v=20251111

A Marriage Oiled by Grace, Part 3

No study on the subject of grace would be complete without addressing its importance in the home, especially between marriage partners. We have spent considerable time examining God’s grace in His offering salvation to those who are lost, spiritually dead, and unable to do anything to earn divine acceptance. We’ve called that “vertical grace.” We have also searched Scripture for insight in the realm of “horizontal grace,” our attitude toward and treatment of one another. But we have not specifically considered the essential value of grace in the husband-wife relationship. As we shall see in this lesson, grace is the oil that decreases domestic friction, the one ingredient that prompts us to release our partners to be all God would have them be, all the while affirming one another in an atmosphere of unconditional love.Download Message Mates To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1118/29?v=20251111
