How can we be perfect as God is perfect? Isn’t perfection, humanly speaking, unattainable given our sin and sinfulness? What hope do we have in achieving such a perfection of a perfectly righteous and holy God? What did Jesus truly mean by these words? Join us today to hear Dr. Caldwell provide a biblically balanced answer to what it means to be “perfect” according to Christ’s command. Dr. Caldwell understands the text to serve a two-fold purpose depending on who is hearing. For those who are lost and not yet saved, it points them to the standard that God requires, which is His own perfections, His own holiness. Individuals must realize they cannot live up to the perfections, the holiness of God. They must see their complete inability to meet God’s standard of perfection in their life and works and be aware of their sinfulness and need for forgiveness and grace. It reveals to them their need for the grace of God in salvation, which we know as believers comes only through Jesus Christ. For believers, those who have heard and believed in Christ, that standard hasn’t changed. Believers have been gifted and clothed with the righteousness of Christ and have been forgiven all our sins. Yet, while we are the recipients of the merits of God’s own Son and hav...

There are also many questions around the topic of divorce and remarriage. Those questions don't typically end with one’s decision to divorce or remarry. Many of those questions are difficult, and the answers are not always easy and clear-cut. Therefore, each situation needs to be dealt with individually based on the situation and circumstances of the individuals involved. However, one truth of the matter is sin is always involved in the case of divorce and, more often than not, in the case of remarriage. Biblical wisdom is required in answering and applying truth to these challenging, painful, and sinful circumstances. Join us this week on the Straight Truth Podcast as Dr. Josh Philpot presents Dr. Richard Caldwell with a couple of these difficult questions from a listener who seeks to right a wrong with God after a divorce and remarriage. The listener asks, if they have already divorced and remarried, how do they repent from what they've done? They also ask what they should do to make it right in God’s sight. Not knowing the circumstances, Dr. Caldwell says that you just acknowledge that. Not knowing where the sin happened, whether on the divorce side, the remarriage side, or both sides of the issue, repentance must exist where the sin was committed. What you do is ask the Lord to forgive you. Often, this kind of question will include someone asking if they should divorce the person they're married to and return to their former spouse. Dr. Caldwell says no, you don’t do that; you don’t commit other sins as a way of rectifying the original sin(s). The Law of God is clear on this issue of divorce and remarriage. Once someone has left their spouse and has married another,
