Restoring Relationships

Adultery and divorce seem to plague the church as much as the world. Where has our power gone? Why doesn't the church have a greater testimony than the world around us? In Genesis, we see the first broken relationship—between God and man. When sin enters a relationship we feel vulnerable and unprotected. In response, we go into self-preservation mode—trying to cover and hide our guilt and shame. The same thing that restores our right relationship with God is the same thing that can restore our other relationships: the holy righteousness of Christ.
