Fifty percent of marriages end in divorce, but does God condone that?  What about adultery or abuse? Are these exceptions?

On this episode, we address the question, "Is divorce ever permissible for a Christian?"  We start by looking through Scriptures regarding marriage and divorce and establishing God's view on divorce through Scriptures in the Old and New Testament.  We understand that this topic is sensitive and divorce has impacted just about everyone today.  We do not intend to offend or attack anyone, but to share how we ought to view divorce, especially in light of a culture now where over 50% of marriages end in this way.  Our hope is that as you listen, you grow in a knowledge of God and his Word as well as helping you to see this topic from a biblical framework.
