    RirhtFromWrong,
    The real question here is where do I fit in Gods eyes.

    What does the bible say.

    You really need to do more research before you make blanket statements SAMPLE....I went on google and looked up "main causes for divorce" this is just one that I found which basically agreed with me.

    You can not be a pastor or deacon, but as someone else mentioned you can serve the Lord in many other aspects. Go soul winning, music director, announcer, sunday school teacher, youth director etc.. there are many things you can do.

    Some churches will even let you preach a message. My church when we have anniversary sunday lets some of the men in the church preach a message.
    There is a divorced man there and he has been a blessing to the church. God can use you.

    Take it up in prayer and your pastor.

    No, I'm saying that it's scripturally permissible.
    While I agree, it's unfortunatel that many Christians see that as a sign of not being able to be a proper manager of one's home. Sad, don't ya think?

    Scripture doesn't appear to apply that. In fact, Paul encourages people with sexual desires to marry, and does not make an exception for the divorced.
    I beg to differ that adultery and desertion are "easy". They're incredibly severing and irreperable to the marical covenant. Ask anyone who's been the victim of adultery or spousal abuse (a form of desertion). They would not use the term "easy" at all. In fact, remaining in such a marriage is easy. Leaving is hard.
