In the last several posts, I have been looking at a lot of data from Shaunti Feldhahn’s, The Good News About Marriage.  I have been throwing out a lot of statistics, and that won’t change today, that I think show a much brighter picture for marriages than we have been led to believe.  The goal […]

We last looked at the relationship of salvation to our sexuality. Today, we will finish our look at God’s design for sexuality by looking at how we can apply the Gospel to our sexuality. Once again, I want to state that most of this material will be coming from a Secret Church on Family, Marriage, […]

Do your prayers ever sound like a broken record? Do you feel like you are constantly having the same struggles with your job, your family, or your spiritual walk? Does it seem like you could just record your prayers in a voice recorder and play them back in an endless autoloop? Recently, I heard from […]

A couple of weeks ago I had emailed back and forth a couple of times with a Christian husband named Link. In one of his emails he told me about a time in his marriage where he prayed for 5 specific things for his marriage and how God had answered his prayers. I asked him […]

When the show 24 was in its prime I was a huge fan. There was always a huge amount of suspense and action and almost every show would leave you wondering what was going to happen next week. Well, you can imagine the disappointment when the next Monday rolls around and you turn on the […]

SPECIFIC THINGS THAT USUALLY FEEL LOVING TO MOST WIVES: asking us, “What’s on your heart?”  “What’s going on with you today?”  “What are you thinking about?”  “How can I help you around the house?”  “Can I give you a break for an hour?” initiate prayer (IF you are close to God and humble about it) […]

FOR THE HUSBANDS – Why Does My Wife Try to MAKE Me Pray with Her?

Gentlemen, I am hoping to shed a little light on a very difficult subject in many Christian marriages – spiritual intimacy. Let me see if I can explain why your wife may seem to be so demanding about wanting you to pray with her and so upset if you don’t pray with her.  Her approach […]

The Real Man Rules

When it comes to how we in today’s society envision what a real man is we sometimes confuse the term with being an action movie hero. You know the type that can take out a whole army of bad guys single-handedly, make every correct decision driving a car in a downtown car chase, and always […]

I Hope my Kids Love Me the Same Way my Fish Do

On Sunday our pastor used an illustration for Father’s Day that he hoped that his kids would love him in the same way that his dog does. Being that I have never been a big dog person and our kids are allergic to dog hair, I decided to try to make an analogy that would fit […]

One of the things that we are slowly losing in society today is thankfulness. I am not talking about being thankful about winning a contest or an award. I am talking about having gratefulness for the little things people do for us. We never should allow ourselves to believe that we are so good that […]
