Bible Question:
I have been nominated to be a Deacon in our church which is Baptist. My question is: I have been married previously many years ago and am now remarried for 14 years. Am I disqualified from being a deacon ? Please give me some advice. Thanks and God Bless you Ed |
Bible Answer: If you have been ordained of God to be a Deacon , then you were a Deacon in your mother's womb. God said so many things that today's society is not abiding by. In other words, do what you know God and only God wants you to do regardless of who tries to judge you. Only God is your judge , maybe that is why God said He would judge certain persons. God does not want unwed mothers either , but because of the world and the mess it is in God allows unwed mothers . You are better off being married , than burning in the flesh. I believe God winks at certain situations, and when I say "wink" I mean endures or suffers it to be so. God knew you before you were born and He knew what you were going to get a divorce and still desire to do the work of a Deacon. If this was evil , then God would have taken the desire from you to save you. Jesus is so soon to come and all He desires from us is to be ready. You should know by now what lies in your heart. Keep oil in your lamp. Live Holy, Love Holy , and be happy is my prayer. |
