Scripture: Matthew 19:1-12
The United States has among the highest divorce rates in the world. What is even more discouraging is that Christians are not immune to divorce. As we think about this whole topic of divorce and remarriage, we need to look at it through the eyes of God and get His perspective. In this message, Dr. Merritt confronts the sin of divorce and breaking of a covenant, while at the same detailing practical ways toward restoration for those who have experienced divorce.
"For those who have remarried after divorce, it doesn't mean that God cannot bless your current marriage. In fact, He wants to bless your current marriage, and you shouldn't think about trying to get out of this marriage. If anyone can make lemonade out of lemons, God can do it." --Dr. Merritt
