God’S View on Adultery and Fornication

By Dr. David L. Maxey

The purpose of this book is to look at many people in this world who struggle under the guilt of infidelity in their marriages. Some people bear the guilt out of ignorance, never understanding that adultery and fornication are forgivable sins.

Sometimes, we bear the guilt for many years, and we often take the guilt to our graves, never knowing that we did not have to live with that guilt, especially if we come before our Savior and ask for forgiveness.

DEDICATION

This book is dedicated to my wife, Shirley. I realize that dedicating books to spouses is a noble thing to do, but my dedication is special because Shirley has stood by my side for over forty-seven years. She knows what it is to be abased and abound. She understands God’s word and what he would have us do. Furthermore, she understands the wiles of the devil and has learned through many trials that he has no dominion over her nor her family. She understands the power that Jesus has given us to rebuke satanic attacks on the family in his name. She has been loyal in her dealings with God and her family. In my opinion, she is the epitome of the virtuous woman that is described in Proverbs 31. I do not know what I would have done without her being by my side. I thank her because she was the driving force that kept me focused on this book. She realized it was one of my dreams, and she would not let me drop the ball until I published God’s View on Adultery and Fornication.

Furthermore, none of the accomplishments I have attained in my life would have been possible without my parents, Mr. Phinus Maxey (deceased) and Martha Maxey, and my in-laws, Deacon Travis Young (deceased) and Charlean Young.

Finally, I thank God for my two daughters, Terri and Angela, who kept me on my toes as a father, and my grandchildren, Cameron, Zachary, John, Marianna, and Madison.
