Re: Spouses in the local church
Redman:
I have not been in the situation you describe, but I have been in a situation where my marriage and my faith were at seeming odds. Here's a verse (and chapter) that has been a great help to me:
1 Corinthians 7:17: Into that which you were called, so there remain with God.
also verse 20: Each person should remain in the situation they were in when God called them.
In my personal opinion, our spiritual growth comes MOST from the human relationships God places us in. Learning how to take care of one another requires a tremendous amount of faith. Being "zealous" for a ministry does not inherently require faith and can sometimes overshadow real human, God-ordained, relationships.
Just two cents. I encourage you to seek after Him in whatever way you find. You will need a compass for the difficult decisions, discussions and trials. Much grace to you.
In Love,
Peter
