Puritan Board Freshman
But if the unbelieving partner separates, let it be so. In such cases the brother or sister is not enslaved. God has called you to peace.
(1 Corinthians 7:15 ESV)
Dear brothers and sisters, my husband departed from me on March 8th. The church pursued him according to biblical standards and the PCA Book of Church Order. He has now been excommunicated. My heart cries out for him and his young son. We are yet one flesh, but broken. Those of you who knew him well will remember his theological and academic mind. He plucked me out of mainstream evangelicalism and taught me what it meant to be reformed. I loved my husband dearly, but he has chosen another path, and that I can do nothing but pray. I beg your prayers for him, please call his name before the Lord that he will come to repentance.
As for our family, this has been very difficult on my children, for they have lost their dad and their brother (though not biological). I am sure it has been just as hard on his little boy as it has been for us. I miss him so much. I taught that little boy to eat with a spoon and fork, to walk up and down stairs, and toilet trained him. I love him just like my own, and he is gone forever. I have prayed many days and cried many nights, but alas, they are gone.
I will be planning to file for divorce after the first of the year. I covet your prayers that the Lord will grant me wisdom and grace.
Sincerely,
Angela Turner
