I’ve never heard of this couple.

Marriage vows made before God and family and friends do mean something.

The Carpenters founded Redemption World Outreach Center in 1991 with just three people and "a passion for breaking down the walls of racism, crossing cultural lines, and changing poverty mindsets..." and whopping great wads of cash, don't forget the cash... whopping great wads of it.

For once Gamecock and I are in agreement, the rest of you are lucky not to have these loons in your backyard.

Carpenter's then relayed that afterward, he had an exchange with God in which he said he heard the "near audible" voice of God tell him to call Mrs. Carpenter at the facility she had voluntarily checked into "and tell her you will not abandon her."

Translation: Honey, come on home, there's bucks to be made in the house of the lord so don't ruin this cash cow we got goin' for us.........

Psychiatric Treatment?

1 Timothy 3
King James Version (KJV)

Apparently this pastor was surrounded by individuals encouraging him to continue in sin.

Too many pastors keep their pastoral position after a divorce instead of stepping aside and allowing others to take over. Is that not pride?

[If You Want It Fixed - Fix It]

He’s married to her forever anyway, man’s laws be damned, but he could remain separated from her and chaste, and that’s still married and not sinning.

But heck, might as well try to work it out. Adult kids are involved. It took 23 years to make this divorce, and they need to finally resolve what led to her feeling ‘what the heck, I deserve it (affair)’.

They have real problems to resolve and real hurts to acknowledge and forgive. Mother Angelica says you get humility from humiliation. They both need total humility and I’d say this great humiliation was a good start. Now they need to humiliate themselves before one another, get the real issues out, and work them through.

Yes, Christians should have encouraged this as part of their basic hope....like the pope keeps saying.

I hope they do stay together and their marriage is repaired. But why is he still pastoring the church?
