God never commands divorce but because of sin God sometimes allows divorce.

But Dr Tony Evans says most divorces these days don't measure up to the biblical standard.

What God has joined together, only God can separate.

This is the alternative with Dr. Tony Evans,

author, speaker, senior pastor of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas, Texas, and president of the Urban

Marriage is an investment that pays lifelong dividends, but just like at the bank, there are penalties for early withdrawal.

It was never God's intention that there would ever be one case of divorce ever in the human race.

So many of us say, I didn't know this was what I was getting into.

Of course you didn't know. You weren't married yet.

It's God's institution. He made the people for marriage. He came up with, and he gave them the marker of marriage, one

can overrule His own covenants. And that's the distinction that most people don't grasp.

no fault divorce?

verse seven they said why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce and send her away?
