The wife is to show love to a husband who is a pedophile: The Excellent Wife P/13

                                     Read Part One HERE

In this post I  will continue to share on Bible teacher and author Martha Peace. This time we will look at statements from Chapter Twenty-One of her book "The Excellent Wife."

Martha Peace: "Husbands are capable of extremely gross sins such as child molestation, other criminal acts, violence, drug addiction, adultery, pornography, drunkenness, homosexuality. How is a wife to respond? Your heart may be broken over his sin. Remember, though, that you are not alone. God too is deeply grieved as well as offended. God is ready and waiting to help you. He will bear this burden with you and lighten your load. Your sorrow will lessen as you seek refuge in God, as you go against your natural feelings, and as you show love to God and your husband. You do not ever have to be sinfully overwhelmed again."

My Comment

Martha Peace seems to think that a wife is to simply show love to her husband even in the case of gross sin. Whatever she means with that statement, it does not seem to mean that the wife is to take action to protect herself and her children, which is what God would want her to do. God will indeed be ready and willing to help her but only as she does her part by either speaking to her husband about his sin if that is possible or by calling the police and/or by getting herself and her children to a place of safety etc for God does not mean for a wife to simply stay with such a husband and to allow him to continue in his sinful behaviour.

P.S. This is the last post on Martha Peace.  From the many posts we have shared on Martha Peace, I trust you will have begun to recognise that  her teaching is unbiblical and should be warned against.
