Trading Spouses
1 Corinthians 7:10-15
May 23, 2007

Last week we examined how we as believers have bought into the world’s view of sex. Is it possible that we have bought into the world’s view of divorce as well? Divorce is out of control. Many believe that if your spouse acts in a manner that displeases you, then it’s time for a trade. This view has crept into the church to the point that believers are divorcing as frequently and as casually as those who don’t know Christ. Let’s look to God’s Word for an understanding of this matter of marriage, divorce and remarriage.
