This morning, the Lord Jesus reminded me of a writing he gave me in January of this year, so I went back and read it (1).

And Be Honored
Word of the Lord 2 Thessalonians 3:1 NASB “Finally, brethren, pray for us that the word of the Lord will spread rapidly and be glorified, just as it did also with you…” Imagine with me, for a moment, this scenario: A man and a woman have been married for awhile. When they got married, they … Continue reading And Be Honored

What would happen if all those who are being abused by addictive spouses would speak out within the churches, & in public meetings, & if they would ask for prayer for their spouses, including for those who are pastors who are abusive & sexually addicted?
