God Hates Divorce
14You cry out, "Why has the LORD abandoned us?" I'll tell you why! Because the LORD witnessed the vows you and your wife made to each other on your wedding day when you were young. But you have been disloyal to her, though she remained your faithful companion, the wife of your marriage vows. 15Didn't the LORD make you one with your wife? In body and spirit you are his. And what does he want? Godly children from your union. So guard yourself; remain loyal to the wife of your youth. 16"For I hate divorce!" says the LORD, the God of Israel. "To divorce your wife is to overwhelm her with cruelty," says the LORD of Heaven's Armies. "So guard yourself; always remain loyal to your wife."This was written to the people of Israel around 400 years before the Messiah arrived on the scene. At the time of the Lord Jesus' earthly ministry, divorce was nearly as rampant as it is in modern America. They had taken man's traditions (the Talmud) and used it to counter God's Word (Matthew 15:3-6 and Mark 7:5-13). How much worse we have become in the U.S.A. We just blindly ignore God's Commandments, purposely toss them out. Even in our churches (which are supposed to be teaching the Word of God) there is no difference between the divorce rates of members and of those who are not. Why? Because instead of teaching God's Word, most of our churches teach a philosophy, or the current "Christian best-seller" (the Holy Bible is the penultimate "best-seller", why not teach it?)
Malachi 2:14-16 (NLT)
Do you want to change the divorce rate? Do you want children to stop having pre-marital sex (Psalm 199:9), with the attendant teen pregnancy, abortion, and children growing up without their father (the number one commonality of the prison population in America)? Teach the Bible at Church (then at Home, and then it might even be taught in public forums again!)

Gotta lotta say. I was only a naïve 19 when I began… and finished my novel with a plethora of extremely helpful insights which you may have not yet realized; engrossing wit, sardonic satire; and basically straight-forward-Jesus that’d make anyone cognizant this is only a test of our Finite Existence. For we alone decide which Eternity to go to, Upstairs or DownTown, because we alone have free-choice. Thus, God Almighty respects U.S. when we arrive at the Final Judgment because sHe loves U.S.
Phazers on stun. I talk of a Heavenly Scent, an ardent desire with the whiff of a definite locale, while I bolster the mean, Great Beyond with the passion of a magnanimous madman: Full of some gorgeous, panoramic, tall-true-tales making U.S. yearn and sigh for Heaven Above; A novel of short-stories, quotes, prayers, poetry, hardcore-heartbreaking-hilarity, aggressive conundrums, Salvador-Dali-homily, and some savvy-MHz, avant-garde, Phat-Boy-Christianity from a severely, head-injured Catholic you might call crazy. That’s, uh, all very well-N-good... but, yet, who ever said YOU were sane? Touché? After this is all over, I expect Him to edit my theoretical cranium. I seeeriously doubt He will, though. Jesus loves the crazies who aren’t necessarily conformed by what others think about 7th Heaven.
What you’ll find in my wonderful, fruitFULL, dynamic novel is an indelible treasure, unlike any other in the known cosmos. It’s by moi. And I’m one-of-a-kind. Not bragging, brudda. He threw away the mold. ONE o’me is plenty HeeHee If you decide to read this baroque script, get in touch with my CPA, Edward Foree, at 1-785-266-9111. Out this month. Poifect for X-mass, evangelism, and/or just to curl-up!
GOD BLESS YOU WITH DISCERNMENT!!
