Tony Sexton repented of an adulterous remarriage and reconciled with his first wife Dawn. Below is his testimony.
 

For two and one half years the heavens became as brass in my life, the sweet fellowship I had known since earliest childhood ceased to exist and my fellowship with Christ was greatly compromised. See, I put away my wife for another. And this after having been a leader in Ministry for many years, having served as an assistant Chaplain at a county correctional facility (jail), after leading a Nursing Home Ministry since 1995, with scores of people who depended on me daily, I failed. I failed my Heavenly Father, I failed my family, friends,
Ministry and Church.

For these two and one half years there was nothing but overwhelming conviction, grief, sorrow and shame. First for an (unbiblical) divorce, and secondly for a (unbiblical) remarriage. And the important word here is decidedly unbiblical. In the same fashion God does not recognize a homosexual union, neither does He recognize an unbiblical union.

What contributed greatly to my coming to myself was one chapter of a book, no more than about twenty pages in length. "The Horrible Thing in God's House: Adultery, Fornication and Divorce." From David Wilkerson's book "Set The Trumpet To Thy Mouth." There are two statements from this book that contributed to my repentance and forsaking the sin more than any other, allow me to share.

He writes "Oh man of God-- tremble at this curse God prepared for priests and ministers who refused to forsake their immorality. The Lord will cut off the man that doeth this, the master and the scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, (Malachi 2:12). Not only will God cut off the anointing, unction, and blessings: He will humiliate the offender, destroy his credibility, and cast his ministry aside. God has reserved the most fearful prophecies for ministers who live and preach in sin."

Think of it, written in 1985 and if for no one else it was for Tony
Sexton in Kansas City 2001.

The second statement,
He writes "Saints of God, don't look at the way things appear.
Servants of God cheat on their wives, then go on with new wives, apparently still enjoying God's blessings! Not So! You do not see or hear of God's judgment on them. You know nothing of the sleepless nights, the despair and sorrow that floods in on them. To live under God's displeasure is a burden few can bear."

For the good part, on January 12, 2005 my wife and I were reunited in Marriage. God has performed miracles that time will not permit to tell with this post, but yes it is true to repent means to forsake and then restoration and forgiveness takes root.

The Scripture that was read at the ceremony was adapted from
Zephaniah Chapter 3, and has been very near and dear to us:

"I will gather them that are sorrowful your sorrow has ended, thee to whom the reproach of it was a burden, now celebrate. I will undo all that afflicts thee, I will save you that halteth and make you a remnant. I will bring together the lame and the outcasts and I will lead you home, and with your own eyes you will see Me bless you with all you once owned. I the Lord hath spoken."

In Christ,
Tony & Dawn"
