Church Politics

[Craig]

        I'M I READING GOD'S WORDS WRONG?
        IN THE BIBLE IT SAYS THAT A MAN TO BE A DEACON IS TO BE MARRIED TO ONE WOMEN. OUR CHURCH HAS BROUGHT UP A FINE YOUNG MAN TO SERVE AS DEACON BUT HE IS MARRIED TO A WOMAN WHO HAS BEEN MARRIED BEFORE AND DIVORCED . AND HER EX HUSBAND IS STILL LIVING. WHAT I READ TELLS ME THAT THIS YOUNG MAN CAN'T BECOME A DEACON, BECAUSE HIS WIFE'S SPOUCE IS STIL LIVING. AM I READING GOD'S WORD WRONG?
        ALSO WE HAVE A DEACON WHO GOT MARRIED AND IT LASTED TWO MONTHS ,THEY ARE DIVORCED NOW . MY UNDERSTANDING BY WHAT I READ ,IS THAT HE IS TO STEP DOWN FROM BEING A DEACON.
        PLEASE HELP ME.   CONFUSED


    Dear Reader:

    I'm sorry, but I don't get involved in the unscriptural, convoluted politics of the churches.

    God be with you,
