Love this, and thrilled to see this message coming from an Anglican! This is an area of sexual ethics that I've rarely seen addressed, even by faithful, orthodox Christians. Thank you for your courage and clarity in addressing it.
Stop being a slave slavery is wrong, stop bending the knee like the black lives matter it is an insult. Stop bending the knee to God, and stand up like a man or a woman and face God eye to eye. You won’t though, because you are a slave, and that is what your God wants slavery. My answer to that never slavery is evil. 🏴🇬🇧🏴
It helps a marriage if one knows it is indissoluble from the beginning. In my nearly 40 year marriage, my wife and I have had countless disagreements and a handful of serious rows but we know we have to spend time in prayer, reflect, repent and come back together as one. I feel I have a strong marriage as a result and our adult children let us know frequently how much they appreciate it.
Thank you for this excellent preaching. Few topics are more important for the churches today to hear. We need repentance on a great scale when it comes to marriage. That's a helpful example about breaking into someone's house to explain the exception clause.
Great sermon on a position I have never heard preached before. I have heard the indissolubility of marriage, but never how to repent of a second marriage. I’ve seen a case where a divorced man got remarried, knowing full well it violated scripture and the teaching of his church, only to have him and his new wife (a phillipina. Passport bro situation) be accepted immediately back into the church. This was not my church thankfully, but it seemed like something was very wrong with that situation, yet I could imagine that it probably happens all the time. I will certainly search the scriptures more on this, but I think I am convinced. Thanks and I respect your faithfulness to the Lord in preaching a very hard truth. I personally am feeling a sense of foreboding regarding the responsibilities that might come with understanding this doctrine - 1 Corinthians 5:11?
@@evanpax8585 thank you! Yes, the Church frequently fails to properly teach and discipline this issue, and when one becomes convinced of it, it makes one realise just how bad things have become. Check out my article linked in the description for more argumentation on it.
I like your teaching on this and I have seen that you are keen to research and teach more on this. I recommend the book by J.N parks "Divorce and remarriage -what the church does ddnt tell you" and lots of works by late Dr Joseph Webb. He also has a book "until death do us part?"
If the Matthew verses are read in light of the Jewish Betrothal they make perfect sense. Joseph sought to put Mary away, privately, being a just man. Even later, Jesus was accused by the Pharisees, "We were not born of Fornication!". That aspect of Jesus' arrival, that he was conceived before Joseph and Mary were married, yet they were betrothed, and Jesus apparently was conceived out of Wedlock, must of followed him, and Mary, and Joseph, throughout His Ministry.
I feel as though I "just won the lottery" (only a turn of phrase) by coming across this sermon on this channel because your marriage permanency essay, referencing Jack Shannon in the footnote, came up in a Google search! How can I participate with you in your services? I live in Penrith, Western Sydney, near the Blue Mountains, in a place where the time of day isn't that different to yours. Being able to participate in a Prayer Book service in a marriage permanency church is my dream!
Thanks for this sermon! I understand your interpretation of the words "except for sexual immorality" in Matt 19:9, "whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery", only applies to the divorce (using your housebreaking example), but you also acknowledge that the reading is a little strained. I would imagine, therefore, you'd agree that there is some ambiguity here (whether "except sexual immorality" applies to only the divorce, or applies to both parts of that sentence). If so, and I would imagine you would not tolerate this ambiguity (given how strongly you term remarriage adultery), how would you resolve this ambiguity? There are no other biblical passages that say that remarriage after divorce following sexual immorality of a spouse = adultery, are there? Thanks!
@@vinxit Check out my article linked in the description, it goes into much more detail about that verse. If you have any follow up questions after reading it then make another comment and I'll discuss it further
I asked the Lord if I could remarry and he said “No.” I asked why and he said “Solomon answered it.” I said “Solomon?”, and he said “A child.” I immediately knew what he meant. The two women fighting over one child in 1 Kings 3. The meaning was a child is a physical manifestation of a spiritual reality, because in a child, two become one flesh. You can’t divorce your spouse because you are now one flesh.
@@davidpate6095 Absolutely. Thank you for sharing that brother. Can a child be divided? His parents should be one as he is. Can one flesh be divided? Only by death.
@@newkingdommedia9434 Another quick question: If the husband of said wife files for divorce after a separation and he lives in an easy divorce/no fault divorce place, does the wife have anything to repent of?
This was a valuable teaching. However, I disagree with the idea that remarried individuals who have children should remain together and just practice abstinence, even when there are children involved they must complete completely repent, turn away from. To me staying together is still dabbling in sin. Yes, they still need to co-parent, but they must do so from separate homes. When Hagar bore a child for Abraham, God instructed her to leave with Ishmael. Similarly, in Ezra, God called for men to separate from their unlawful wives and children. Paul advises that we must either remain single or be reconciled to our first spouse. It’s difficult to reconcile if you are still living together in a remarriage. The truth is, sin is sin. Scripture says, if your right hand is causing you to sin, you must cut it off. We need to take decisive action.
Please forgive this pathetic excuse of a poem. I wrote it years ago as a child of divorced and remarried parents. The bough broke, The cradle fell, down came both of the babies and all that they could have been That tree was hacked down-and split into two Each half joined to a foreign tree with nothing but Krazy glue They left the fruit they produced to wither and die They don’t give a rip no matter how much we cry Their tree may be split but the roots remain intact They can live in denial but they’re still one-and that’s a fact! Divorce is the opposite of love-it’s perpetual hatred-God calls it violence I speak up on behalf of the oppressed covenant children who’ve been suffering yet silenced Our Creator made two to become one in an institution called marriage We were the fruit that He placed in their God designed carriage He said man better not separate This benevolent gift He did wisely and purposely create; Because Jesus tells us marriage is for life If only this topic didn’t evoke so much strife Marriage is when a man leaves father and mother-not when he leaves his wife and children to be joined to another! A wife whose covenant husband is not deceased Is an adulteress if she marries again-and adultery must cease! Adulterous remarriages aren’t legit-they’re a perversion, a farce, a counterfeit Those in them are utterly deceived and refuse to see-they’re fools just playing house; Jesus calls them to repent-He desires they return unto their spouse They argue that they aren’t required because they claim they’re “a new creation”, What they fail to do is quote in full that God gives “new creatures” the “ministry of reconciliation” Others blindly approve and praise them, not perceiving the mirage, Then they wonder why we can’t do so, and accuse us of attempting to sabotage Our parents are bewildered as to why we can’t be “one big, happy family and all just get along?!” Oh the irony, to hear this from the ones who obliterated our nuclear family, leaving us nowhere to belong The deceived labor hard to make wrong appear and feel right They’ve abandoned their own and won’t consider their children’s plight; One child lies and pretends all is swell The other struggles just to breath, she can’t hide her hell Now the grandchildren suffer from their lack of repentance But the perpetrators remain willfully aloof to the generational life sentence; They claim devotion to Christ despite how their lives contradict, it’s distressingly grievous what the reality depicts They’re too busy living for self and for now and for pleasure When Jesus and His kingdom is what they should treasure beyond measure Jesus is coming, He expects a pure bride He’ll be here soon-we’ll have no place to hide Now is the time to pray and to fast, There is no time to waste being unchaste In just a short time we will all give account, obedience to the faith is absolutely paramount Let us cast off the works of darkness and night, and let us put on the armor-the armor of light! We are called to be faithful, no matter how often we’re betrayed. So stick to your vows, righteousness always pays If you are one whose spouse unjustly departed, Rejoice and take comfort, for Christ binds the broken-hearted If you’re reading this and you understand the indissolubility of marriage as true, it’d be wise to consider yourself here too; Do you commit adultery in your heart by looking with lust? Or are your eyes, soul, and body devoted to the Almighty who is holy and just? Communion with God is what is at stake when our union with our spouse we recklessly forsake The kingdom is at hand, The night is far spent, Hearken now, all who have ears to hear, hearken now and repent!
This one is worse, but both sum up what it feels like to be the child of parents who have divorced and remarried.

Good sermon, but I think you must live in separate places even if you do have kids from the adulterous remarriage. A born again Christian cannot have any appearance of being in remarriage adultery. If you stay living in the same house you will be led into temptation and fall. You can't remain in a fornicating relationship that produced children either. Jesus is coming very soon. Maranatha.
@@WalkingbytheSpiritAlways I understand completely where you're coming from, it's just that I also think there's a very very serious requirement and obligation for parents to raise their children properly, and that means having mum and dad at home.
@newkingdommedia9434 No. Mom and Dad should separate and live in two separate places while raising the children to obey Christ's commands. In Ezra 10 the Jews obeyed God to send away their pagan wives AND children. Generational sins are repeated when you compromise on obedience. A fornicating couple can't continue to live together either even if they have children. Jesus is coming any day to rapture His true followers, and those who are ready have purified themselves and live holy. My most recent video was an interview with a woman in her third marriage who has repented, is looking for another place to live and will proceed with a divorce (not the kind God hates).
@@franklinbumgartener1323 Henry VIII didn't divorce his wife, he annulled the marriage.

The Anglican Church started 1000 years before Henry VIII and Anglicanism as a distinct Protestant tradition was oppressed by Henry VIII in its formative period.

What they fail to do is quote in full that God gives “new creatures” the “ministry of reconciliation”
Others blindly approve and praise them, not perceiving the mirage,
Then they wonder why we can’t do so, and accuse us of attempting to sabotage
Our parents are bewildered as to why we can’t be “one big, happy family and all just get along?!”
Oh the irony, to hear this from the ones who obliterated our nuclear family, leaving us nowhere to belong
The deceived labor hard to make wrong appear and feel right
They’ve abandoned their own and won’t consider their children’s plight;
One child lies and pretends all is swell
The other struggles just to breath, she can’t hide her hell
Now the grandchildren suffer from their lack of repentance
But the perpetrators remain willfully aloof to the generational life sentence;

He makes two to become one-not one to become two torn apart jagged halves
Countless husbands and wives treat one another as if they are trash to dispose, “Out with old, in with the new!” as the worldly saying goes
This epidemic is devastatingly tragic, it’s incomprehensibly reprehensible
How parents can’t bother to care that to their progeny they as an entity are indispensable
Our blood testifies of the two He made one to bring us to existence
Which is why I must share this truth with such importunate persistence
Surely as the voice of Abel’s blood cried out to God from the ground
Our blood cries to Him too, dead or alive-however we’re found
Just as the Lord’s image humanity doth bear
God made children in the image of the parents they do share;
We are a living picture of the two He made one
When He joined them in marriage their true family begun
Jesus’s definition of marriage is not merely an ideal
He took us back to the beginning of creation-He didn’t reinvent the wheel!
When a covenant couple chooses to divorce
They’re going against nature and altering the course
The course of HISstory...
Instead of trusting in the Lord to reveal the mystery
The mystery of what might possibly unfold
If they obeyed His word just as we are told
Twice in the gospels (regarding marriage) Christ says, “...let not man put asunder.”
It’s a wonder how so many could even make such a blunder
Nevertheless there is forgiveness with Him
As long as we repent instead of following our every whim
The Lord said through Paul, “Let not the wife depart”,
When, oh when, will believers take this to heart??!
If she leaves her husband she must remain single-The scriptures are clear, she’s forbidden to mingle
“Let her remain unmarried or be reconciled...”
We have to believe the word of God lest we are beguiled
Too many men are living a fantasy playing Chief of another man’s tribe
Repentance is the solution the Lord most definitely does prescribe;
Whether they realize it or not they’ve brought their covetous desires to life
When they said, “I do” to another man’s wife
All scripture was given for doctrine, correction, instruction, and reproof
And by God’s inspiration husbands are told to rejoice with the wife of their YOUTH
Parents in adultery get hostile and angry if we attempt to expose and accuse us of not understanding their woes
Never once considering the burden on children (grown or small) their unnatural relationships impose
When sharing this unpopular truth it becomes automatic....
I’m labeled as a legalistic, pharisaical fanatic
This truth is simple yet hard, it’s ever so profound
Even the disciples when they heard it, them it really did astound
We must rid ourselves of any unrepentant leaven-It’d be better to be a eunuch for the kingdom of heaven
We are told to hold fast-the word is more powerful than gravity
If we reject the truth we only reveal our depravity
It’d be impossible to be blindly or willfully deceived if we really, truly, in His word wholeheartedly believed
Let’s not be among the wicked and adulterous generation
Instead with our hearts and our lives we must give our veneration
We must watch out too for teachers and preachers who are sly
Instead we ought drop to our knees to diligently seek the Most High;
Allowing Him to refine us and to purge away our dross,
And when we arise from our knees we need to take up our cross
So many want what they want even at the expense of others, they prove they love themselves so much more than their brothers
One thing is for certain, their actions convey they lack an earnest desire to follow Christ and obey
When it comes to our faith we must be authentic and serious lest we succumb to unholy desires and become delirious
We have to persevere even it means we will suffer, we can do all things through Christ our strength and buffer
We’ve been exhorted, exhorted to count the cost, and if we don’t consider the Lord worthy we are without doubt lost
