Marriage, Divorce, Remarriage

Sincere Christians hold a variety of views on divorce and remarriage after divorce. Does God ever permit divorce? If so, under what conditions, and what if a Christian gets an unpermitted divorce? If God never permits a divorce, how should we interpret key statements of Christ? How should Christians handle adultery on the part of their spouse? Is it ever okay to remarry after a divorce? Is there a higher standard for elders and deacons? All of these questions depend a lot on God’s design for marriage and how He has taught us to handle sin within marriage. Now that we have specific statements on these issues in What We Teach, Pastors Gabe Powell and Alan Plumley plan to answer these questions and more with in-depth biblical analysis.
