* Marriage is worth protecting.

* Some believers are called to stay in difficult marriages.

* Victims of opression must be protected.

* The church has made mistakes goining to one extreme or another.

* Err on the side of safety for the abused.

* 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 - The gospel can change the heart of anyone, even the abuser.

* 2 Corinthians 7:9-11

* Past misuse of Bible verses doesn’t mean we should not turn to the Scripture for answers in abuse situations. Psalm 19:7-10

* James 1:19

* Proverbs 20:5, 18:13

* Use Scripure, properly applied. E.G. Christ’s Temptation in the Wilderness

* Don’t weaponize victimhood.

* Helping the victin does NOT require special, worldly, trauma-informed training.

* While the church may have swumg from one side to the other does not mean we should not help those who have been abused.
