Look Kevin Max has always lived on the edge and that's why I liked his poetry, music and writings so much, but when it goes from living on the edge Christian-style, to living on the edge Worldly-style, I think I may have to check out! There's so much going on in the world today . . . when I listen to Christian music I want to know between a shadow of a doubt what the music is saying is true. I just don't hear Kevin claiming that this was "wrong". It bothers me, I can't help it. It's just where I stand.

Are you saying Chirstains don't sin? We all sin, that's way we need grace from above. I'm sure Kevin and Alayna did thier best. Anyway, this is old news, Kevin is Married agian and has a lovely little girl, London and has said that they have an other on the way. God has blessed Kevin Max.

The Bible says that what God brings together no man can separate. So if it was not God who brought them together, is He responsible for maintaining the relationship? I believe that when divorce happens-the relationship was not God's will in the first place. When He is in agreement with the matrimony of 2 individuals-by His power, grace, and strength he will help maintain it. Any other views on that?

It is an interesting way to look at it...but is that just an easy way to justify divorce? I am saying that at any time in any marriage, I could decide that I do not want to be married and say that it was not God's will..."oops, guess I need another wife."

Wow!
I've always loved DCTalk. This pains me.
No wonder the world looks in the churches and thinks the people there aren't any different than themselves. Giving greasy grace isn't doing anyone a favor.
If I was bleeding to death, I'd rather go to the hospital and get a painful treatment, than go to the hospital and only get a pat on the head, a pillow, and comforting words. Greasy grace leads the false convert to hell.
When they say, 'Lord, Lord', Jesus will say, 'Depart from me you evildoer' (Matthew 7:21-23).

The opinions expressed in the Reader Comments are not necessarily those held by Cross Rhythms.
Only 2000 characters? Kevin and Alayna are sinners....just like the rest of us. My own marriage failed as well....it didn't end in divorce, but it failed. Food for thought:
1.The purpose of Marriage is to make us Holy rather than happy (although happiness may be one of the many results, it is certainly not the sole purpose).
2. Following Christ is not equal to the "American Dream".
For us to be able to be in the presence of God we MUST be Holy. God will use whatever He chooses to make us Holy. He chose for Christ to die on a cross in order for us to have the opportunity to be Holy.
He, for me, chose the many failures (and pain assoc with them) in my marriage to drive us closer to Him.You name the sin....wen did it. Yes, even that....our pastor told us we could divorce......biblicly.
For K & A, God chose something else to drive them to Himself. It's not for us to determine what happened and all. God is driving them to Himself. Our hope and prayer should be that God gets them unto Himself.......just like our prayer for ourselves should be that God gets us to Himself as well. We are all sinners. No one can judge another. We can all pray for God's Grace and work out our Salvation...... Same for Kevin and Alayna. God's grace to us all.
