Feeling Betrayed

Q. My husband  and I  recently purchased a praise and worship video and now he has become enamored with one of the group’s singers.  He has even dreamed about her.  Divorce is out of the question.  I just need some scriptures to cling to while waiting for the Lord to either change my husband’s mind and actions or for the rapture.  Thank you.

A Beginner’s Bible Study

Q.  I was so thrilled that my roommate came to church with me on Easter Sunday. She isn’t walking with the Lord, although she calls herself a Christian. Afterward she expressed to me that something is missing in her life and that she feels broken.

She had some bad church experiences and Bible study experiences in the past. Even so, I thought it might be a neat idea to do a Bible study with her. It might be a good bonding thing for us, and she would feel more comfortable studying the Word with just me, and I know we would both learn. Do you know of a good study for a baby believer we could do together?

I Want To Tithe, But He Says No

Q.  My husband said that he accepted the Lord when his parent died two years ago, but it’s hard for me to see his fruits.  One area is tithing..  I really feel strongly about tithing but my husband borders on being Draconian regarding our finances.  He puts money in the basket but I feel very strongly that I should be tithing from my salary but he would be apoplectic if he found out.  So do I obey GOD and His Word that talks about tithing or submit to my “believing” husband?

I Don’t Like My Pastor Hugging Me

Q.   My pastor almost insists on getting a hug from me every time I see him.  It annoys me, and I don’t know why.  He has never ever made any untoward advances toward me or anyone that I know of, but it just makes me uncomfortable.  I haven’t noticed him hugging very many other women.  I’ve told my husband, who is a deacon, that I don’t like it and asked if he would speak to the pastor, but he never has.  I really don’t know how to handle it.

Will God Hate Me If I Get a Divorce?

Q.  I have a question about divorce.   What happens if you get a divorce and  remarry in the future?  The Bible says that adulterers will not see the kingdom of God so does that mean if a believer gets a divorce and remarries that they are no longer saved and that God is done with them?  Does God then hate them?  would He rather watch a married couple tear each other apart and be in His will for marriage than have them apart?  I am deeply confused.   All I know is that for many reasons I don’t want to be with my husband  but I also don’t want to loose God.  What can I do?

Can We Miss God’s Will For Us?

Q.  Is there anywhere in the Bible that tells if God has a specific mate for us or that “one” person that we are destined to be with? Say if we married and wondered if we married the wrong or right person God had for us?  Can we miss His will for our lives and miss our destiny and never be able to get it back?

Unbiblical Divorce

Q.  I know the Bible says that unfaithfulness is the only reason for divorce. The couple are Christians, but her husband is verbally abusive to his wife. Very mean. I told her to get out and now he is filing for divorce. I can’t believe that God would want her to stay with this man.  Does she have to stay married to him and if she gets divorced, never marry again?

Do We Need A New Covenant?

Q.  Since my husband broke our marriage covenant when he committed adultery, does this mean that we are no longer married before God?  Since adultery is biblical grounds for divorce, does that mean our covenant remains broken until we create a new covenant? Or is the fact that we are reconciling renew the covenant?

What Should I Tell Him?

Q.  I met a young man recently, who is a pastor of a church I began attending a few months ago. From the first week he met me, he has been very kind and attentive. His interest in me was quite obvious. I like him a lot but he is separated from his wife. The reasons he gave being that she left him when he decided to go into the ministry. He met her when he was still in the world. According to him, he did not ask her to go and endured all her physical abuse but she chose to leave him. He is currently trying to initiate a relationship with me but I don’t know what response to give.
