"Look at the legalized adultery we call divorce. Men marry one wife after another and are still admitted into good society; and women do likewise. There are thousands of supposedly respectable men in American living with other men's wives, and thousands of supposedly respectable women living with other women's husbands." - R. A. Torrey From R.A. Torrey's book How to Pray, pages 94-95

R.A. Torrey (1856-1928) was a very well-known Christian writer, evangelist, pastor, graduate of Yale University, and was also the superintendent of Moody Bible Institute for 19 years.

TRINITY BARS THE DIVORCED.; No Remarriage in the Church or Any of the Chapels.

The clergy of Trinity Church announced yesterday that under no circumstances will divorced persons be married by any of the clergy of that Episcopal parish, nor will such marriages be permitted either in the church at Wall Street and Broadway or in any one of the parish's eight chapels. The announcement was as follows:

More Testimonies of Repentance from Adulterous Remarriage & Messages of Encouragement

I've received many emails from those who have or are in the process of leaving adulterous remarriages and from those who have been encouraged by this website. We also have members of our Spirit of Hosea Fellowship, Support & Discussion Forum who have left these sinful unions. Along with my testimony and the testimony of J.M. Humphrey, I have asked some to share their testimonies of repentance and restoration. Some have agreed to do so.

Tony Sexton's Testimony of Repentance From Remarriage Adultery


I too have had to repent of an adulterous remarriage. A very rough road, but what is the alternative when God convicts you of the sin of it? Stay in it and become reprobate to the call of the Spirit? No thanks! I applaud your courage and faithfulness to heed the voice of the Father. I know what a lonely stand it is when even those who seem to be on fire for Christ have erroneous views on Divorce and Remarriage. May God Bless you, and keep you, and build you up in your inner man to stand strong and live holy. JESUS IS KING!

Hi,

I want to thank you so much for sharing your story...My husband and I have felt very much alone over the past year as we have exposed and tried to talk to our church leadership about the same issues of divorce and remarriage. So far, to little avail.

I keep praying and asking God to send people our way of like mind, as we are feeling so weak on our own. I just found the discussion forum and and look forward to being approved and able to talk with others. I plan to forward your website name on to a number of individuals, including a number of pastors - it seems like such a radical step that you have taken and I commend you for it. I have read many articles on the subject, but because you have personally walked through it, it has so much more meaning. God bless you. (Name Deleted)


Thanks for your testimony and courage to do what is right
we too are paying a price for speaking out this unpopular message.

Hello,
I was searching the internet for scriptures to pray for the "other" woman and came across your testimony. You have no idea how it has touched my heart.
My covenant husband left me for another woman back in 1991 and quickly "married" her after the divorce went thru. The Lord spoke to me when he left and told me He would heal and restore my marriage if I would stand with Him. My testimony is very long, but in a nutshell, after many years of praying for my husband and our marriage, my husband contacted me in 2003 and the Lord has changed his heart. He wants to come back to our marriage, but feels trapped in this adulterous marriage with the other woman. ....... God has promised to use us to bring His true message of divorce and remarriage to others. I'm just weary of waiting for God to move.
After reading your testimony I have been praying that God convicts the other woman of her sin of taking another woman's husband and that she will turn her life over to Christ.
I just wanted to let you know how much I admire your strength in doing what is right. I will pray for you, that God will richly bless you for your courage.
In Christ,

I just read your "open letter". It was very timely for me, because I have been pondering and praying over this issue lately, and came to the same conclusion, that repentance. The scripture is very clear on this...I don't need to search the scripture and struggle for understanding. I have been married and divorced twice, once before I was a believer, once after. I have been single, celibate and un-dating for 15 years. I would like to fall in love with a good, godly man and get married and do it right...but God's word stops me in my tracks. I don't 'like' it. I don't 'feel good' about it, but I know it's true. My struggle isn't in trying to find a loophole, but learning to accept with an obedient heart, with thankfulness, with joy and expectancy the "plans" He has made concerning me".

God bless & Peace,

I just wanted to send off a big "THANK YOU!!!" for your website and ministry.

As a single, I wanted to determine BEFORE the subject came up whether or not I could potentially date a divorced man. Friends and family largely stated that I could if he'd divorced when he was not saved, the adultery clause, etc. (You've heard them before.) Problem was, I remembered reading the verse stating that whoever married a divorced individual was committing adultery, so their input left me uneasy. Something wasn't right and I knew it.

You're site helped enormously in going through all the scriptures. Thank you!

What makes me sad, as I read the frequently asked questions, is the apparent willingness of so many Christians to "take a chance". In our quest to get our way, we are willing to read into the scriptures that if the Bible says to let the non-believing spouse go, we ASSUME that gives the green light to remarry. With all the warnings against this in the Bible, why would we go there?

Sadly, I think the answer is that too often we want our own way and our own happiness more than we want to please Christ. I think the Church (generally speaking) spends too much time telling us how wonderful the Christian life is. We forget that we are to take up our cross and follow Him! That is not easy, it is not pleasant - it is hard work! The Christian walk is not for the faint of heart.

Thank you again and please keep up your good work.

Just wanted you to know I read your testimony and am so thankful there are still people in this world who understand that God does not want his children to divorce and remarry. You have a lot of good thoughts on that subject.


I have the website (deleted) and I have added links to your site there.

I have today sent an email to several pastors that need to read this. They are all remarried, some more than one time remarried. May God show them the truth.

Thanks for standing on the true word of God no matter what cost.

I was saved in 2005. This matter of remarriage has not been easy for me to understand, but after reading your testimony the Holy Spirit confirmed in my heart that what you say is true.

I am married and divorced twice. All happened as a non Christian. This that I now understand means that I must not remarry any man again as long as my first husband is still alive. Not my second but my first, since only the first is valid in Gods eyes.

I also understand that my last name needs to be changed back to (deleted) because (deleted) came from being married for the second time and since that marriage was not good in God's eyes I shall not carry that name. Now I understand why God made it easy for me to divorce my second husband in 2001. It was not valid in Gods eyes. God wanted me to divorce that man. I actually felt blessed doing that and now I know why I did feel such a blessing getting out of that marriage.

Now I also know why God hindered me and a Pastor from marrying each other in  2005. It would not be right in Gods eyes as long as we both were divorced, and as long as our former spouses is still alive.

Thanks for telling the truth as God has showed you the matter of marriage, divorce and remarriage.

May God bless you in a huge way.

Sincerly,
