BIBLICAL CONCEPT:  DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE

1.  Divorce for sexual immorality - Matthew 19:9a.  Remarriage is
     permitted - Matthew 19:9b.

2.  Divorce for desertion - 1 Corinthians 7:15.  Remarriage is permitted
     in 1 Corinthians 7:27-28.

3.  If you are divorced with spiritually illegitimate grounds:

     a.  Seek reconciliation and remarry if neither has remarried -
          Deuteronomy 24:1-4.

     b.  If you remarry,  confess the sin and stay in the new marriage.  This
          does not negate the consequences of the spiritually illegitimate
          divorce and remarriage.  Compare Malachi 2:13-16.
