Marriage and Divorce (18 of 40)

If you have been involved in this series at all, you know that the church in Corinth was a church filled with problems. It had all kinds of problems.

Maybe we need to go to the police and fill out a missing person's report.'' And she said, ''Well, we might need to because this is not like him at all.'' And so they go to the police, and the policeman talks to this wife. And he says to her ''Well, describe your husband for me.'' She goes, ''Oh, my husband, he's 6'4'' He has thick, black, wavy hair. He's very fit and strong. He's got a 46 inch chest and a 34 inch waist. And he ...
