God doesn’t rate sin, so why do we?
The Bible says God hates sin but loves the sinner. So why does the Church seem to put special emphasis on the sin of divorce—often going so far as to say that remarriage is biblically wrong? This is a question I have wrestled with and know many others have as well.
My guest, Rylee Mowery (@scriptandscriptures on Instagram) has personal experience with this, and a passion for the truth of what God says about it. We have a heartfelt discussion where the goal is encouraging Christ-centered marriages, focusing on how this applies to remarriage. Rylee shares what led to her divorce but more importantly, what she learned about God through it all.
