Bring It On-Line: Non-Believing Husband

What should I do if my non-believing husband refuses to support me, or even help out with the bills? No children; married 26 years. If I divorce, spousal support will ruin me financially. Is the whole book of Psalms for today or not? I love ... ... Read Transcript


TIME TO "BRING IT ON."

THIS FIRST ONE COMES FROM

JULIE: "WHAT SHOULD I DO IF

MY NON-BELIEVE HUSBAND

REFUSES TO SUPPORT ME OR

HELP OUT WITH THE BILLS.

NO CHILDREN.

MARRIED 26 YEARS.

IF I DIVORCE FINANCIALLY, IT

WILL RUIN ME.

I'LL LOSE HALF OF EVERYTHING

I WORKED FOR MY ENTIRE LIFE,

PLUS MY PENSION AND I.R.A.,

AND BE FORCED TO PAY SPOUSAL

SUPPORT, BUT I DON'T WANT TO

CONTINUE LIVING IN SIN.

PLEASE HELP."

Pat: WELL, FIRST OF

ALL, YOU'RE MARRIED TO HIM,

SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND

"LIVING IN SIN."

Terry: WELL, SHE HAS

BEEN ENABLING HIM --

Pat: BUT THAT IS NOT

LIVING HIM IN SIN.

FIRST, YOU OUGHT TO TALK TO

A LAWYER.

YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT GIVING

HIM SPOUSAL SUPPORT -- WHAT

KIND OF A BUM IS HIM?

YOU'RE GOING TO SUPPORT

HIM?

COME ON.

THIS GUY IS GOING TO FREE

LOAD ON YOU AND YOU'RE GOING

TO SUPPORT HIM?

GET A LAWYER TO GIVE YOU

YOUR RIGHTS AND TELL YOU

WHERE YOU ARE.

THERE IS NOTHING IN THE

BIBLE WHO SAYS YOU HAVE TO

CONTINUE -- IF A MAN WON'T

TAKE CARE OF HIS OWN, HE IS

WORSE THAN AN I INFIDEL.

I THINK BEFORE THE LORD, YOU

ARE FREE, BUT FREE TO DO

WHAT IS WISE.

IN THE MULTITUDE OF

COUNSELLORS, THERE IS

WISDOM.

SO GET SOME GOOD KGTV

COUNSEL, GODLY COUNSEL.

Terry: THIS ONE

SAYS, "I LOVE READING THE

PSALMS.

I REMEMBER A LONG TIME BACK

YOU SAID IT IS ABOUT

ISRAEL.

CAN'T WE RELATE IT TO WHAT

IS HAPPENING IN TODAY'S

WORLD AND PRAY THAT WAY.

A DEAR FRIEND OF MINE IS

GOING THROUGH A HARD TIME

BECAUSE OF HER HUSBAND'S

FAMILY, AND WHEN I SEND

PASSAGES FROM PSALMS, IT

REALLY HELPS HER.

IS THE WHOLE BOOK OF PSALMS

FOR TODAY OR NOT?"

Pat: THERE ARE ETERNAL

TRUTHS THAT APPLY TO

EVERYBODY ALL THE TIME.

I PICKED THAT UP IN ISAIAH.

AND I SAID THIS IS OLD

TESTAMENT, AND THIS IS NEW

TESTAMENT, AND I SAID WAIT A

MINUTE, I'M GOING TO GUIDE

YOU CONTINUOUSLY, I'M GOING

TO MAKE YOU LIKE A WATERED

GARDEN, AND I'M GOING TO DO

ALL OF THOSE THINGS FOR

YOU.

I SAID, I WANT THAT.

THOSE BLESSINGS OF GOD ARE

BEYOND THE OLD TESTAMENT OR

NEW.

THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS IN

THE BIBLE CLEARLY INTENDED

FOR ISRAEL.

AND CERTAINLY FOR THOSE

UNDER THE NEW COVENANT,

UNDER THE NEW TESTAMENT.

BUT THE GREAT TRUTHS OF THE

BIBLE, I TAKE THEM FROM ME.

THE 103 PSALM, "BLESS HIS

HOLY NAME WHO FORGIVES ALL

SIN AND INIQUITIES."

LAY HOLD OF THE TRUTH.

IT'S THERE.

USE IT AND BE BLESSED BY

IT.

Terry: THIS IS A VIEWER

WHO SAYS, "A GOOD FRIEND OF

OURS LIVES WITH HER PARENTS

AFTER A DIVORCE.

SHE PAYS ROOM AND BOARD,

HALF OF THE WATER BILL, HER

OWN INSURANCE, HER OWN

PHONE, AND HER OWN FOOD.

WHEN HER PARENTS BUY THEIR

GRANDCHILD SOMETHING THAT

WAS NOT ASKED FOR, THEY

EXPECT HER TO PAY THE MONEY

BACK, AND THEY CHOSE TO BUY

IT ON THEIR OWN.

SHOULD SHE HAVE TO PAY THEM

BACK FOR THINGS SHE DIDN'T

ASK THEM TO GET.

SHE FEELS THE EXTRA IS A

GIFT.

BUT WHEN SHE IS STRUGGLING

AS HARD AS SHE IS, IT IS

HARD."

Pat: I HEAR THESE

QUESTIONS, AND I SAY, WHAT

PLANET ARE YOU LIVING ON?

THAT IS OUTRAGEOUS.

I AM A GRANDFATHER, AND WHEN

I GIVE PRESENTS TO MY

GRANDCHILDREN, I SURE DON'T

EXPECT THEIR PARENTS TO PAY

ME BACK.

GIFTS ARE GIFTS.

NOW, LISTEN, IN A SITUATION

LIKE THAT, THAT LADY NEEDS

TO TELL MOM AND DAD, NOW,

LISTEN, I'M GLAD THAT YOU

LOVE YOUR GRANDCHILDREN.

AND I'M DELIGHTED WITH

THAT.

BUT DO NOT GIVE THEM

ANYTHING THAT YOU EXPECT ME

TO PAY YOU BACK FOR.

AND PUT IT IN WRITING.

SAY, I WILL NOT REIMBURSE

YOUR GIFT MONEY.

JUST SAY IT.

LET THEM KNOW THAT.

DON'T COME ASKING ME TO PAY

FOR THINGS.

THE GRANDKIDS THINK GRANDMA

AND GRANDDADDY ARE GIVING IT

TO THEM AND THEY DON'T KNOW

THAT MOTHER AND DAD ARE

PAYING THE BILLS.

Terry: SO MANY OF THESE

FAMILY THINGS ARE

COMMUNICATION,

COMMUNICATION,

COMMUNICATION.

Pat: IT IS MORE THAN

THAT.

IT'S WEIRDNESS!
