Philemon 1:6  That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.

(Sandra Chupik) ... In 1980, I heard Joan Boney speaking on the radio in Houston, Texas, on my way to work one day. After that I would listen every morning. Sometimes I would pull my car onto a side street so I wouldn't miss anything. 

 

In 1980, she spoke about divorce and remarriage. I was divorced twice, and she was speaking things I had never heard spoken at church before. I obeyed those scriptures, stopped dating, knowing that I could never remarry, and experienced great joy. For months, I couldn't stop talking about these scriptures. Everyone at work knew something had happened to me and there was a difference in me.

EZEKIEL 36:23  And I will sanctify MY great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the LORD God, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.

(Pam Padgett) ... During the last months of college I rented a room in the home of a woman I had met in the singles group at the church I attended at the time.  She had been divorced twice and had a young daughter.  At first she seemed content to remain single and raise her daughter.  But then she began to look for another husband.  

 

I spoke with her and shared scriptures with her warning that she would commit adultery if she remarried.  It was a big shock when she replied "I don't care what the Bible says.  I know what I believe." 

 

Romans 7:2-3  For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. 

So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.

I Corinthians 7:10-11 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.

 

I Corinthians 7:39  The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.

I moved from her house shortly after this to a town about 30 minutes from where this church group met.  Although I no longer attended the singles group meetings, I still attended the Sunday morning service and sat with those in the singles group, visiting with them before and after the service.

Someone told me this Twice divorced woman had become engaged to marry a man who also attended the singles group.  

 

I went to him and shared scripture warning of the adultery that would be committed if he married this twice divorced woman. He said he would consider these things, but he didn't stop the wedding plans.  

 

Matthew 5:32   But I (Jesus) say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.

 

Then I heard that another woman I knew from the singles group was going to be maid of honor at this wedding.  

 

I went to her and shared scripture warning of the adultery that would be committed by this marriage.  She  said she knew this was wrong but that they would get married anyway, so she was going to be maid of honor.  

I Timothy 5:22 ... neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.

Shortly after talking with each of these people, one Sunday morning I got to the church a little early and sat in the area where those in the singles group sat, but none of the singles came to sit in that area.  As the service was about to begin, I turned and saw that those in the singles group were sitting in an area behind me.  

The next Sunday morning I sat in what I thought was the "new" singles group area, but those in the singles group sat in the "old" area.

The following Sunday morning I got to the church building shortly before the service began.  I went to where those in the singles group were sitting and sat down.  

Without saying a word, they got up and moved away from me to sit another area of the church auditorium.  It was obvious to me that those in the singles group did not want to associate with me, but I didn't know why. 

I cried out to God, asking what was going on?  Had I done something wrong? 

A few weeks later a woman I didn't know very well came to me after the Sunday morning service.  

 

She said she had a word from God for me.

 

The word she delivered was that God knew how those in the singles group were treating me, and that I needed to know it was because I had spoken to the various people involved in this wedding, and that this is what HE (God) had wanted me to do. 

 

It was so comforting to receive this word, for I then knew why this had happened and that I had done what was right in the sight of God.
