A word of advice:
When you pound the pulpit, make sure your fist splashes in tears.
That’s the way I felt this past Sunday when I preached a difficult sermon on adultery. I had to “pound the pulpit,” but my heart was broken for those who really need to repent.
You see, I know that there are those of us who’ve been affected by unfaithfulness or been unfaithful. Maybe you’ve even experienced the pain and devastation that divorce brings.
Some of you reading this have stumbled, fallen, and now would do anything to turn back the clock and erase the steps you took that led to failed relationships. If you could go back, you’d never be the “prodigal.”
You are not the primary audience for this sermon.
No, this sermon is mainly meant for those who think sexual sin is just something natural, excusable, and no big deal. Most importantly, t’s a wake-up call to those who may have been deceived into thinking their eternity is secure.
It’s a sermon that I hope God will use not only to restore some wounded relationships, but open the blinded eyes of the lost to the Light of salvation.
Listen and Share
I’m so tired of seeing marriages fail, people hurt, and children suffer. It doesn’t have to be!
I’d like to invite you to listen to the sermon I preached this past Sunday (Feb. 16, 2020) at Bethlehem Baptist Church. I hope it will encourage you to strengthen what you have, avoid temptation, and, if you feel inclined, examine your relationship with Jesus Christ.
And, if it’s a blessing to you, share it with someone.

Oh, one last thing! … If you make it all the way to the end of the recording, you’ll get to hear my wife admit to the whole congregation that she needs to be a better wife! 🙂 No joke!
And I didn’t know it was coming!

And that my friend, is why I learned to be a wife who never says no.
Friends, I want to apologize for anything you read from “Greg Betts,” whoever that is. I personally believe it is a pseudonym, not a real name. Regardless, he/she has written vile stuff which I cannot allow to be posted.
For the record, I’m not afraid of the truth. I do not have any sin in my past that has not already been covered by the blood of Jesus Christ. I’m not trying to hide anything, only protect the innocent – which this “Gregg” person wants to insult and hurt.
