The following article is written primarily for Christian wives, only because they have been more susceptible to the dangers that we will be looking in to. However, husbands should take careful heed as well, seeing that many of them have been snared into the same dangers.
What will be described has mostly taken place in what is generally known as the Reformed Baptist circles because, up until this point, this is the group with which I have been identified with for most of the past thirty to forty years. Nevertheless, the following could be said of any minister and/or denomination, because the problems discussed are the logical consequences of any "church system" in which "rulership" has gone awry. There are churches of all different stripes that will clearly fit the unbiblical practices that will be exposed in this article: Baptist, Catholic, Presbyterian, Pentecostal, Lutheran, Methodist, WWCG, JW, Mormons, Evangelical, etc., etc.......it doesn't matter!
All are equally susceptible and some are equally guilty of the kind of corrupt leadership that will be described.
I realize that there are some who will not even believe the things that they will be reading. They will chafe; they will mock; they will not heed the warnings and thereby say, “who is this, that we should believe him!”
Many who read this will say, “None of those things could ever happen in my church. No. Not my Pastor. Why,.......I've known him to be a humble man and have benefited much from his ministry.”
Be careful! You may be surprised!
There have been (and continue to be) many cases where a pastor has deliberately placed himself between a husband and wife and used his so-called pastoral authority as a means of manipulating them both into personal loyalty to himself.
Some of these actions have been willfully and deliberately instigated by the pastor in order to break up the marriage through separation or divorce because one of them was beginning to "step on the pastor's toes."
My friend, if your loyalty to, or dependence upon, any church leader ever comes close to being equal to your loyalty and love to your husband or wife, then you are so sick spiritually that you can't think straight.

A Word To The Wives
When those in “positions of leadership” in the church, or anyone else, tampers with someone's marriage... THEY ARE TREADING HOLY GROUND!
