Fathers, Provoke Not Your Children
“And ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.” Ephesians 6:4 Question: How should a parent handle it when the other parent provokes his children by being too hard on them or when that parent is inconsistent in what he says should be done…

Then came to him the mother of Zebedee’s children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him. And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy…
Marriage Happy
“…And They Lived Happily Ever After!” “Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for any and every reason?” Matthew 19:3 [NIV]. Marriage is not a ‘fairy tale’ in which both partners “life happily ever after.” Happiness is not a commodity that comes wrapped as one of the wedding presents. Happiness in marriage…

Divorce: A Tragedy That Only Gets Worse
So guard yourselves in your spirit, and let none of you be faithless to the wife of your youth. “For the man who does not love his wife but divorces her, says the Lord, the God of Israel, covers his garment with violence, says the Lord of hosts. So guard yourselves in your spirit, and…
Where Has All The Affection Gone?
By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not. When teaching a marriage seminar I have been known to say, “You can always tell whether a couple in a restaurant is married or courting. The couple that is courting –are talking to each other, holding…
Aunt Edna’s Last Lesson
Life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. Luke 12:23 I want to share a very sacred and intimate moment with you. I am sitting by the bedside of my Aunt Edna -and the Doctor told us she is dying. I traveled twenty-five hundred miles to be here by her bedside. Aunt…
