Randy and Paula White: Divorce at Without Walls International Church
Paula and Randy White Seek Divorce
First, let me say that I have no problem whatsoever with their divorce. I have seen God work in my own life through divorce, to bring me further into His Will and plan for my life. Of course, divorce isn't ideal for any marriage- however no one knows what really took place in the privacy of their home.
I could bring up links to numerous articles that assault Randy and Paula White's character and use it to discredit Without Walls International, or try to pinpoint those allegations as the reason for Randy and Paula White's divorce, but I won't.
All I will say, is that there were many signs that were exposed to the public that showed things weren't right. How far deep the ugliness lies under the surface, the public will never know. However, I don't believe that the fact that Randy and Paula White are getting divorced should affect any believer's walk with Christ at all.
I truly believe that sometimes God gives divorce as an answer to prayer. For example, when someone is beat down, abused, and all power has been placed in another person's hands, I believe that God may use divorce as an act of liberation and freedom. This may very well be the case with Randy and Paula White and their divorce.
1 Corinthians 7: 12-15
12To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. 13And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him. 14For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.
15But if the unbeliever leaves, let him do so. A believing man or woman is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace. 16How do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or, how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
My point is that just because someone says they are a believer, doesn't necessarily mean they are- this was stated by Jesus- If a man chooses to file for divorce from his wife, and says he is a Christian, is he really?
However, is a woman obligated to stay with him, because he says he is a Christian? Even if all signs say he isn't? Hitler said he was a Christian and I can assure you, he wasn't.
If an unbelieving spouse wants to leave, I say let him leave. If a spouse says he is a Christian, but files for divorce from his wife, I say he is unbelieving of the words Christ spoke, and let him leave!
However, the fact that Randy and Paula White are getting divorced shouldn't be basis for discrediting Christianity, the Charismatic movement, or even the prosperity gospel. I truly believe and hold all of these dear to my heart. Yes, I believe in prosperity. Have you ever been sick and poor? If you didn't like, it, then you believe in prosperity too! God wants all of his children to be blessed, prosperous, and healthy. However, when something isn't right, God will correct it. If a marriage is broken, He can repair it. If someone chooses to leave, that is their choice and one that they will have to live with. Yet, Randy and Paula White's divorce should not impact the daily walk of any believer, simply because you do not know what went on in their home, behind closed doors.

Post a CommentI BELIEVE BEHIND A EVERY DIVORCE,ONE PERSON IS DECEIVED LIKE EVE.REMEDY,REMEMBER UR FIRST LOVE
my prayer goes daily for men and women of God. I trust God to strenghten them in time of weekness.i apportion no blames at all, but i will to God that they become more tolorance trusting more on the ability of holyspirit.he'll will indeed comfort them on every side. As we expect the return nd reward of our Master Jesus!
Even as much as Christians, we are expected to look unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith, we do cherish what people do especially the gospel ministers. Divorce is contrary to what God ordained marriage for. How can you 'jump' into a marriage and 'jump out'. Ministers (pastors) we are indirectly condoning immorality by divorce. Be heavenly-minded. What shall he profit you get marrying to men? Divorce is immorality in disguise. Ask Juanita Bynum and Bishop Weeks, getting married to 'whom they love" immediately after their divorce.

one more thing ! as u see many so called church leaders building their santuary. I know tha word states church is u. and if it is not build on a solid foundation . which is God! it will not last. So open blind eyes to wat is not right . with these people who say they r called by god! yur spirit ! has to know who is real and fake ! again read yur word what timothy states to the church ! there is no way around it . be prayful! stay faithful and know who u r n christ! be blessed. (tell the truth ) i am out
first thing what ia am see is that. all these so call by god to deliver the word to people who does not know christ . after all the fame and money , divorce, i am like what tha heck is really going on. people if u read your word your self and follow instructions and stop listening to these people. u will find christ . the word says many called few are choosen. i am tired of the enemy getting glory, remember to open your eyes, and see that lavished things flash in your face and the words that comes out there mouth. its all about money. they are not worried about your soul. the devil comes in different shapes, faces, sounds . but u have to know n your heart. and let god direct your path. if you don't know anything else know God 4 yurself! trust him n everything. i have said wat i have 2 say. peace and let God lead u
Keep in mind that the devil would like to destroy every marriage if people would allow him. There are many excuses for divorce but only one reason for divorce. Jesus told the Jews that Moses allowed them to write a bill of divorcement because of the hardness of thier hearts. If you have a hard heart you must repent before destruction comes your way without remedy. If you hear God's voice today do not harden your heart in damdable unbelief.
new is christ but have a street past and the chick has a drug problem and someone needs to minister deliverance and set her free in Jesus name. Don't really know her that well or even set eyes on her until this morning while wife was looking at tv saints you all need to pray for her in Jesus name.
