The Bible Sojourner

John Piper believes that any remarriage after divorce is wrong. We review Piper's position paper on the subject and compare it with the position presented by Andrew David Naselli in a 2019 journal article.

While the culture is trying to de-feminize women, the Bible gives clear teaching on God's beautiful and unique design for women. Furthermore, the Bible gives plentiful instruction on what the church is to teach younger women. We do our women (and men) a disservice when we fail to emphasize the godly calling of motherhood and being a wife, but this is a very unpopular message in today's culture.   Help others find the podcast by leaving a review on Itunes or rating it on Spotify.
