Last year I moved my men’s small group from the Denton Square to my house 6 miles south. A world apart into a seemingly perfect community called Lantana. Very quickly I was surrounded by some guys who were divorced, one of them at the beginning of his, he was a wreck.
There are some other situations I was involved in that had to do with Divorce and then there was some conversations I was having with my Pastor on the same. The whole of it caused me to find myself in deep contemplations about it and not only that remembering back into my own when I was 27. I also found myself arguing with my pastor for hours upon hours although it was really only me representing his side of the argument. I think you know what I mean…
You know the church both small c and big C have quite a few different stances on the issue, it is a plague in our society within the church and without, has been for as long as I can remember. I found out during all of this as I began to focus on my small group, rethinking some future goals in regards to Lantana there is a quiet little stat laying out there in that there has been 12 divorces within my church from couples living in my perfect community in the last 8 years and more near divorces… Then recently the count went up to 13 and then I found out a Lantana VCC couple is walking it out with 3 other couples (non lantana) who are nearing divorce.
