Tearing Down Strongholds – Marriage Message #183

3 Comments

The marital relationship is supposed to be a place where your feelings are safe with your spouse because you are in partnership —being careful and considerate with each other’s feelings. You don’t expect to be ridiculed, deceived, or assaulted with poisonous words and/or physical abuse. And neither should you do any of these things to your spouse.

And yet this is what is happening in homes all over the world in epidemic proportions —even with those that claim to be Christ-followers. It’s absolutely heart breaking. And it’s ABSOLUTELY WRONG —something that needs to be addressed and worked against.

God shows us all throughout the Bible, that we are to live our lives together in such a way that we communicate the gospel both with and without words —by our actions AND our words. We have to be mindful of both. [Read more →]

Love Your Wife Like Jesus Does

5 Comments

“Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave Himself for it.” (Ephesians 5:25)

What a challenging command for a man! God commands us to imitate His Son, the ultimate Lover. We are to build our love according to His pattern, the pattern of self-sacrifice and utter submission to the wall of God.

How many of us can say that we have loved our wives as Christ has loved the Church and given Himself for it? Not many, if any.

I can almost hear you say,

“You just don’t know how bad my wife is! I’m miserable. That woman fights me and belittles everything I try to do. I’m sorry, but I don’t want to love her—I want to leave her!”

I hear your protest and I understand your frustration, but you need a good dose of the truth: You will be leaving your greatest opportunity to turn a test into a testimony. Besides, O man of God, how can you leave your wife when you haven’t read the “trouble-shooting” instructions in the manual (the Bible)? Or have you already read them, but unlike Jesus, you have simply failed to obey them? In either case, you are still inexcusable. [Read more →]

This Isn’t Fair

-Cindy Wright – January 25, 2012

“This is not fair.” And it probably isn’t. If you’re talking about things that happen in life within this fallen world —you won’t find fairness.

Right now, my husband Steve and I are going through some things with family, which just don’t seem fair. Among them is the fact that we have a son and daughter-in-law and two precious grandkids (ages 6 and 2) that are living on the other side of the world. We miss them more than words can describe. Yes, there are other things in life, which are worse —we get that, but it doesn’t dismiss the ache we feel in our arms to be able to hug and hold them personally as other parents and grandparents are able to. We long to attend important events with them and be there when we’re needed. And yet… it is what it is.

And right now, my brother is living with us with life-threatening medical issues going on, which we are very prayerfully working through and tending to, to the best of our abilities. It is anything but easy. (I wrote a little about this in past blogs, “Heroism in Marriage,” and “The Will To.”) [Read more →]
