In a society with a 50% divorce rate, it is my conviction that the church must re-study the Word on this subject. Where we have been too unforgiving, we must reevaluate our position on divorce.In the New Testament, divorce is clearly wrong. But with enough 'reevaluation' it somehow doesn't seem to matter so much anymore.Later in this message, I will make it very clear that we can never change our position on God's ideal, which is one man for one woman for one lifetime.
But, as Christian workers, we are dealing with people where they are, not where they ought to be. We are also dealing with a huge percentage of the population. And since God loves everyone alike, divorced persons included, and since God wants to bring everyone into His family and doesn't want anyone to go to hell, it is imperative that the church learn the biblical approach to reaching 100% of the population with the gospel.
