This is so wrong. So judgemental. So hypocrytical. I can't imagine Jesus would treat people like that. I can't imagine his tatoo'd hands and bloodied back and pierced head were for that kind of treatment. Where's the love? the Grace? the Mercy? I dont' get it? And, I got marrie when I was 17 to my high school love, and next feb we will celebrate our 30th anniversary...our daughter however, tried to make her marriage work, but, her seven year marriage ...had biblical grounds for divorce..yet, she hung on praying God would heal it all..., she's divorced and had been told at one church she could work with children but not with youth (which is where her heart is)....what? So, what's the difference? Either she can or she can't......minister. Either we 'forgive' her or we don't. Either we embrace her and love her, and recognoze that Jesus blood covers her great 'sin' of divorce just as he covers all her other sins...and she is right in His eyes, so she should be right inours..or she's not..... Now, off my soapbox.....I look forward to your teaching!!! my concern is that christians seem almost obsessed with divorced…like a hungry dog on a bone…it’s as if divorce is THE big sin and if you divorce and if you get remarried you can never minister again because you might infect others with your poison.

It's sole purpose is to lay out, point by point, biblical evidence for a position he holds on divorce and re-marriage - not to be a pastoral guide to counseling divorced Christians. mzellen,

Period. No room for repentance, changed hearts, changed lives. Driscoll's position encourages a believer to marry an unbeliever - if the unbeliever happens to be an ex-spouse. After reading Mars Hill's new position paper, is the sermon much different? Neither of these men address God's divorce and His (if we consider the Trinity) upcoming marriage to His new bride.

My sister's divorce was final last week--29 years of marriage, two grown kids and the ex husband is a "pillar" in the church. Their struggles were in the realm of the physical--let's leave it at that. They tried for years to make it better. The ink wasn't even dry on the papers before he announced he was dating a woman in the same church--so maybe your posts will give me some insight into how to comfort my sister. I must confess I approach the "giants" like Piper with a bit of suspicion--maybe I'm just tired of the consumer-driven mass consumption of their ideas. I'd rather wrestle with someone like you who's sholarship seems as sound and credible and whose humble, candid daily walk makes your ideas accessible to someone like me working out my salvation day by day.

His last wife is a Christian and she has already remarried to another Christian who has been married 2 or 3 times and has kids from all those marriages. Such is the landscape of America and its churches. I found John Piper's biblical case for his position pretty convincing, but I look forward to what you have to say.
