Set My People FreeAletheia Concepts, 2007 - 92 pagini Many believers, including former church leaders, are burdened with guilt resulting from divorce and remarriage. Some of this guilt is imposed upon them by Church members with legalistic attitudes based on traditions of men rather than Holy Writ. It was not until I personally experienced an unwanted divorce that I understood the alienation and separation from the body of Christ and the frustration of not being allowed to continue in the ministry. It was then that I realized my own contribution to the hurt of others suffering from divorce and its consequences, but God used my crisis to teach me HIS truth about divorce and remarriage. My prayer is the Church will know God's position and engage in a mission of reconciliation toward believers and Church leaders whose lives have been impacted by divorce and remarriage and set them free to serve the Lord and His Church without guilt.
