Product Description

"I want to stick with what the Bible says. No compromise." The church has operated on the assumption that all divorce is always sin and disqualifies every man as serving as a pastor, elder, or deacon. Variations from that position have been viewed as compromise of the Word of God. After studying every passage in the Bible that deals with divorce and remarriage, Dave Miller has come to a different position. In Disqualified, he examines the Old Testament evidence that sets the cornerstone and lays the foundation of the biblical teaching, then looks at the framework constructed in Jesus' radical teachings. He examines the finishing touches put on by Paul, especially in 1 Corinthians 7, establishing the key biblical teachings on divorce, remarriage, and ministry. God's intent from creation was that marriage be a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman, but in a world broken by sin also granted exceptions based on the "hardness of the human heart." After surveying the biblical evidence, Dave Miller asks several key questions for individuals and churches to consider. Have those who been divorced been permanently disqualified from leadership positions in churches? What does the phrase, "husband of one wife" mean? The church cannot ignore this subject and must search the Scriptures to seek the mind of Christ on it. Simply relying on tradition or doing what pleases people is not sufficient. God's word is always right and Dave Miller is convinced that we need to take a new look at this difficult topic.
