Divorce: Understanding God's Heart on this Hard Topic
31 “It has been said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’
32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.”
Matthew 5:31-32 NIV

In this study, the Intentional Faith Devotional Team tackles two small but challenging verses in Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, looking at it in the context of the culture of that day, and discussing what it means for the believer today.
