  God’s handbook on the divine institution of marriage

  I asked them what the problem was. The wife gave me a 5-minute rendition of all his faults. After about 15 minutes, I guess he had enough. He leaned over, spit in her face, and walked out.

  The Southern Baptists’ ‘pastor’ controversy: A study in terminology’s pitfalls and their consequences
