Children of Divorce – Part 1

While divorce is painful for the couple, it can haunt the children caught in the middle for a lifetime. Author of Helping Children Survive Divorce, Dr. Arch Hart, was traumatized at the age of 12 when his parents divorced. As a therapist, he first advises parents to be honest with their kids about why they're divorcing. Second, parents should seek healing quickly since it's difficult to give kids First Aid when you're bleeding yourself. Third, invite kids to talk about their emotions. Arch encourages those in the midst of a divorce to make great effort to maintain as much normalcy as possible for the children's sake.

The late Adrian Rogers, founder of the "Love Worth Finding" ministry, stresses this point and warns, "Don't sacrifice the eternal on the altar of the immediate." As Proverbs 6:32 proclaims, "A man who commits adultery has no sense; whoever does so destroys his own soul." Pastor Rogers adds, "Never flirt with another woman. And never fail to flirt with your own wife."

Today's TV sitcoms joke about marital infidelity. But the late Adrian Rogers of the "Love Worth Finding" ministry declares that sexual immorality is the last step on the way down to hell. He warns that if America doesn't experience a moral rebirth, we will join the graveyard of other nations. He quotes Pastor Kent Hughes who said, "The man who commits adultery tells his child, 'Your mother is not worth much, and your father is a liar and a cheat. Furthermore, honor is not nearly as important as pleasure.'"
