Title: The Truth About...Marriage, Divorce, and Remarriage (4)
Series: The Truth About...

Text: Matthew 19:1-12
It was back in the early 90s that a movie came out that quickly became a blockbuster hit. It was with Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson. It was titled, "A Few Good Men." And many of us are familiar with that movie. It had a climax scene. It was a military movie. It was also a courtroom drama. And the climax scene was when Tom Cruise's character, who played the defense attorney, gets Jack Nicholson, who played Colonel Nathan R. Jessup, on the witness stand, and Cruise demands to know the truth. And Jack Nicholson says that famous line, "You can't handle the truth."

We've talked last week, the truth concerning the Christian in the world. How is a Christian to interact in this world? And today, we want to talk about something that is very important, very personal, and perhaps, very painful for some. It's the issue of marriage, divorce, ...
