11/26 SHOW caller Lisa this is why people should sign prenups. Don’t be selfish, not to hurt each other but to agree to be generous later while they are still in love, more imp to REQUIRE full fin. disclosure. Big expensive weddings are evil, distract from imp things like getting to know each other & premarriage counseling & cause people to go thru w/ wedding when shouldn’t, they shouldn’t spent money have small reception at church w/ people bring cookies etc. Never go into debt or put financial strains on parents over wedding

FOR 11/27 SHOW: caller said they didn’t div. because God told them he’s not thru w/ them or their marriage. This is misconception, God is NEVER thru w/ a marriage, he does allow div. & remarriage if spouse committed sexual adultery [& you didn’t] or if spouse refuses to live w/ you not due to your sin. If you think God said he’s thru w/ your marriage other than in these situations, you heard wrong

FOR 11/30 SHOW: Caller whose stepmom + siblings teased + scorned her, there’s something she’s not telling, something that they hate her for. What did she get under dad’s will? Forgiveness: we must forgive as God did, if sinner asks & repents, if they don’t ask, for our own health we should release grudge to God, but in neither case do we need to have any relationship or contact w/ them. Call shows why Mt19:9 Jesus said don’t div., don’t remarry, stepkids suffer/ Caller who was raped: best thing FOR RAPIST is to go to prison for long term, it’s his best hope of salvation & turning his life around, so for him showing grace is to press charges, push for max prison, EVEN IF he repents & shows remorse, disagree w/ Jill/Milan IF saying don’t prosecute if he shows remorse, prosecute & seek prison term even if he shows remorse. Getting away w/ serious crime rots your soul, Christian would confess & do the time
