Our pastor actually did preach one Sunday about divorce. He started with, “This is going to make some people very uncomfortable, but the Word of God often does....”

It was a great sermon and I’m certain made some of the congregation squirm in the pews, but he used scripture and that could not be denied.

He has preached often on abortion, sexual immorality (ALL of it—not just homosexuality) and Hell—all topics that make christians (small c) extremely uncomfortable. He constantly implores us to be salt and light in the world.

I really appreciate the messages and often am convicted. I must remember to pray without ceasing. This is an ongoing battle within the church body and without.

Yes, I too have heard some messages on divorce and remarriage, and I’m greatful that these preachers had the courage to address their congregations on such matters. I think you understand what I was saying. But what I was TRYING to tell the other poster is that it is just strange that so few people actually know God’s and the church’s position on this subject, because it’s NOT nearly as well known as the teaching against homosexuality.

Both should be preached.
