Love Must Be Tough


Sit down, Carol. I have to talk to you about something very serious. I know what I’m going to say will come as a shock to you, but I can’t withhold the truth any longer. You deserve to know that I’ve been involved in an affair with a woman at the office for nearly eighteen months. Her name is Brenda and she is very attractive. It started as an innocent flirtation, but quickly progressed into something more—much more. Now we are unable to pretend any longer. That’s why I’ve made an appointment with an attorney, and I plan to divorce you as quickly as possible. I’m sorry! Honestly, I am.

What more can I say? I never intended to hurt you. But I just don’t love you any longer; and I do love Brenda—very deeply. So, Carol, I’m asking you to make it easy for both of us, and of course, for the kids. We’ll all be better off as soon as this mess is settled.

On the one hand, as I exegeted the text so as to articulate its meaning for the sake of others in the church, I was often myself so overcome by the power of the Word that I was brought to tears, to joy, to prayer, or to praise. On the other hand, I was also regularly experiencing the text of this letter in church settings, in such overwhelming ways, that I felt compelled to mention it in the final paragraph of the Author’s Preface: Click Here To Download The Book
