"I LOVE YOU, I NEED YOU" - AND THEN THEY BETRAY YOU | Dag Heward-Mills

Bishop Dag Heward-Mills exposes the painful reality of broken covenants in marriage and in the church. He paints a vivid picture of courtship promises - 'I love you, I need you, I can't do without you' - that turn into hatred and betrayal within a few years. He describes how pastors pour their lives into people only to be turned on, and how church members who were prayed for, counselled and married walk away saying all sorts of negative things. He reads John 6:66-67, where many disciples walked away and Jesus asked the twelve, 'Will ye also go away?' Bishop Dag then addresses the spirit of divorce, contrasting cultures where divorce is normal with the mindset believers must have. He reads Ephesians 3:15, declaring that the church is a family and family membership is permanent. He warns that if 'I can always leave' is in the back of your mind, you are a short candidate for divorce, because the same storms described in Matthew 7 beat vehemently on every house - wise and foolish alike. He charges believers to remove the word divorce from their vocabulary and to be permanent in their marriages, their friendships and their church.
