A question about discouragement and repentance
I was in the military for four and a half years. I deployed to the
mediterranean for six months in which i did not attend church. I was in
Italy and Greece and I had a problem finding one. When the
deployment was over i felt like i had lost interest but tried going back
anyway. I did miss service often. When i was discharged i came back
home and i havent been since. I felt discouraged before and now
having fallen back into a lifestyle that i should not be in im even more
discouraged. I started reading the bible again and doing research
trying to find out what i should do. My faith wasnt very strong before
and i see myself as being a hypocrite. I know that if i do not repent my
punishment will be harsh. I know that i need to go back to church and
change my lifestyle. What else should i do to be right with God again?

A question on divorce and remarriage
|
I am really struggling with the marriage and divorce issue. I divorced
years ago for reasons of fornication. Overwhelmed by grief, I fell away from the faith into addiction and a sinful life style. I since then repented and am back active in the church. I have not remarried for fear that in my past I might have come close to doing things that would prevent me from marrying again. I have been told that God forgives us for past sins once we repent, but I don’t think that alone frees me to marry again. I know others who have married on that notion, but I can’t find anything like that in the bible. Clarify in scripture for me that if you are able. ~ Stephanie
