"10 Create in me a clean heart, God,
And renew a steadfast spirit within me."

The effects of divorce and remarriage are numerous and devastating.
When families split, often women are left alone to raise the children without the stability of both parents. Women tend to be too lenient on children, and the men follow to gain the love of children who only visit them on the weekends.
Children do not have two homes when there is a split in households; they have no home at all. They are visitors in each other's homes without the constancy of people who greet one another with love when they arrive in their single homes from work or other activities.
spirit, often without the ability to earn as much as men, so there is more poverty than if
More women are independent in their spirit often without the ability to make as much money as men, so there is more poverty than if the couples never split.
Because of this the split couples indulge in more immorality as they date other people. Abortion has risen because of the state women find themselves in when they engage in intimate relations with those who are not committed to them for life.
We have more shack-ups now than ever before, and it is growing because the churches have accepted these immoral living arrangements so as not to offend. Shack-ups are nothing more than unpaid prostitution; the dignity of love and commitment is gone, and the children notice it even if they don't understand it entirely.
The nuclear family, consisting of a man and a woman for life, has been so degraded that the children from these influences end up doing the same things themselves as they devalue marriage and have little regard for the children they produce in these weakened relationships that subvert God's design for the family.
When the nuclear family, as God designed it, degrades, is demolished, and wrecked, everything else in the culture is ruined.
Now we have Christians devoted to the Bible speaking the truth to help the culture understand how far-reaching and devastating divorce and remarriage is, being treated with monstrous contempt by their fellow believers. We expect rejection from non-believers, but the shocking reality is that the worst persecution for exposing this evil is coming from those who attend churches every week.
We can see how the ruination of the nuclear family through divorce and remarriage has led and growing worse as the next generation sees no value in marriage. Disrespect for one another is nearly nonexistent, as many use and discard one another frequently.
Lastly, these "blended marriages" in remarriage have produced angry children who have no regard for the spouse who is not their bio-parent. The new partner in a remarriage or shack-up situation is not regarded by the children as an authority over them. The non-bio parents have no leverage with the children of their live-in, and they are disrespected and dismissed by the children in most cases.
Often the bio-parent coddles their children and dismissess the authority of the remarried or shack-up lover.
It is one of the most monstrous lies the devil has been able to convince people that children do well after divorce and thrive. NO THEY DO NOT!!!
The dissolution of the nuclear family has led to every other form of evil and upheaval possible in a society.
Matthew 19:6 "So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, no man can separate".
1 Corinthians 7:10–11 "Commands wives not to separate from husbands, and husbands not to divorce wives, with the option of reconciliation or remaining unmarried."
When the churches that have influence over the culture defy what God commanded, they will be held accountable for enabling the evil that comes from this rebellion against God.

Believe in Christ and Desire to be Changed by Him
The belief in Christ must be driven by the desire to be changed by Him into a new creation. If there is no desire to be changed by Him, then the belief is phony. Christ is the Word, the very essence of His Own Word.
Many people who call themselves Christians deny the Lord Jesus Christ. They do it by ignoring His Word as they make up their own doctrine to fit their own desires.
There are many in church gatherings today who have never been born again. It is not important to them to obey the Word of God. They defend their sin and the sin of their friends while disparaging those who have been authentically born again.
Matthew 10:33 "But whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven."
Matthew 10:32 "So everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven,"
2 Peter 2:1 "But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction."
Do not be intimidated by those who would call you names or gossip against you to remove your support group. Those who believe the gossip were never your friends. Christ will defend us if we need defending, we are free to be what He intended for us without fear of those who love their arrogance and sin.

Exalting Christ in the Gathering of Believers
Authentic believers are coming out of the worldly system of religion to remain in small home groups where all who attend share the same mind: to exalt Jesus Christ and to edify one another in His Word.

How Do We Live?
"More is caught than taught." If our lives do not match our words, people will believe the way we live rather than what we say.
The Role of Women
Women's roles are just as important as men's, just different. The sad thing is that women who want to be like men are admitting they think of themselves as less than men. They are assigning low value to themselves for being women.
Women who love what God made them will embrace their role, enjoy it, and be creative in it.
I am a Christian woman. by Eternally Minded Mamas
Not a pastor.
I never will be a pastor because pastors are men.
Elder and pastor are the same and when God describes qualified elders He says: HUSBAND of one wife. That is plain, understandable language. There is no Greek interpretation needed
(In the early church, these terms, along with episkopos, meaning "overseer" or "bishop", were used interchangeably to describe the same group of local leaders.)
Ladies, God has some great things for us to do: teach women, teach children, share the gospel, love the brethren, serve, use our gifts to bless the church body and our families... And this is just the beginning of a huge list of things we are called to do!
We never have to wonder if we are called to be a pastor because it's not something God has called us to.
This doesn't mean we aren't equal. This just means we have a different role. Each gender works best within the parameters God has placed in His Word. We can trust Him since He created us and He knows what is best.
For whatever reason, our society is obsessed with women taking men's roles and turning men into followers rather than leaders. God is not interested in this. God has called men to lead.
There is a reason that Christ chose 12 men and not 12 women.... Men lead men and women lead in other ways under men. This is not sexist, this is just good and godly order.
Let's enjoy the things God has called us to do and let the men do the things they're called to do and let's do it with joy and gratitude in our hearts!
Love, Katie
"Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God." Titus 2:3-5

Remove Yourself from Rebellious Church Gatherings
A lot of people use the excuse of "no perfect church" to remain where the people are not dedicated to God's Word, they are only performance-oriented. I reject the notion that we should stay in church gatherings where the people are resistant to the Word of God.
2 Corinthians 6:17 "17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you."
1 John 2:15-17 "Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not from the Father but from the world. The world is passing away, along with its desires; but whoever does the will of God remains forever."
