Of Things that Begin with a "Th"

Hi Everyone,

I'm just checking in to give you a mid-week update. Interestingly, everything in my update begins with a "Th" ... so it is nicely alliterated for your reading pleasure.

1. Th.D. -- I am continuing to progress in the doctoral program here at TMS. As you know, this involves taking several comprehensive tests (9 total) on various areas related to theology. I've already taken the Bible Knowledge Exam, which (by God's grace) I passed (thank you for your prayers). Next Tuesday I will be taking the Church History Exam, which means I will be intensely studying for that over the next few days.

2. Thursday -- Don't forget that we have Bible study scheduled for this Thursday at 7:30 PM at the Norton's house. Lord willing, we will see you there.

3. Third Child -- Beth's due date is quickly approaching. We expect that she will go into labor sometime in the next two weeks. So if you could pray for our family as we plan for this adjustment, we would certainly appreciate it. Most of you already know what it's like to go from two to three, so you can identify with what we will soon experience.

4. Thirsting after God -- If you have a couple spare minutes, check out this chapter from Donald Whitney (from his book Ten Questions to Diagnose Your Spiritual Health). I think you'll be encouraged.

Alright... see you all on Thursday night!

- Nate

Nate Dog,

Yesterday afternoon I was asked this question. If a couple gets divorced because one of them was untrue to the marriage, after the matthew 18 process and time has elapsed, is the spouse who did not have an affair allow to remarry.?

Here at Grace Church, we teach that divorce is allowable for two reasons: 1) unrepentant adultery (from Matt. 19:9) and 2) abandonment by an unbeliever (from 1 Cor. 7:15).

In cases of a biblical divorce, we teach that remarriage is permitted.

We have a GCC Distinctive packet on this topic. I'll bring it tonight.
