Wondering About Worth

Every Tuesday we’ll post something to do with restoring marriages. Hope it helps. — Wondering About Worth Last night I dreamed that my wife Renee was auctioning me off on e-Bay. Without the courtesy of any notice, mind you, so I had the double indignity of learning that I was on the market, and that my seller hadn’t even bothered to tell me. In my dream I was wandering through a mile-long Kinkos/Fed Ex location and, for some reason, decided to check my e-mail on one of their computers. There I found a response that was meant to go Continue Reading

Trembling

“I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever.” - Thomas Jefferson Divided as ever, Americans are mourning and celebrating the same event at the same time. That’s business as usual for an election year, but this one carries weight both sides sense but, for now, can’t fully appreciate. Barack Obama will serve a second term, during which he’ll manifest a starker, bolder vision for the country, implementing it vigorously and protecting it with policies and Supreme Court Continue Reading

Ten Tips for Maintaining Sexual Integrity

Every Monday we’ll post something to do with maintaining sexual purity. Hope it helps. — Some time ago I wrote this in response to the question of what steps a man should take to “keep it clean.” Considering the amount of stimulation and temptation we’re confronted with daily, common sense tells us to be, and stay, prepared. Here are ten ways we can help make that happen. Ten Tips for Maintaining Sexual Integrity Tip 1: GET REAL Recognize that sexual temptation is unavoidable in our sex-obsessed culture.

Priceless

Every Tuesday we’ll post something to do with restoring marriages. Hope it helps. — Priceless Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor unto the wife --- -1Peter 3:7 I’m confident in saying I know my wife better than anyone else could know her, which I get no props for. We’re 25 years married, after all, so if my working knowledge of the woman didn’t surpass anyone else’s, it would be a mighty indictment against me. So ask me practically anything about her and I can fill you in, Continue Reading

The Stepford Syndrome

Every Thursday we’ll post something having to do with relationships and/or emotions. Hope it helps. — The Stepford Syndrome The power of porn may not just be its explicit content. It may also be its capacity to take the viewer into another world, a place where bodies and people are perfect, where imaginary lovers comply with every wish, and where the scene created perfectly matches the deepest desires of the viewer. It’s a perfect and perfectly destructive world, and it’s the stuff both horror and heartbreak are made Continue Reading

Doubt

Old, damaged statue of St. John the Baptist (S. Giovanni Battista) in an inner court of an ancient building in Italy.

Every Wednesday we’ll post something to do with doctrine and recovery. Hope it helps. — Doubt “Art thou He that should come, or do we look for another?” - Matthew 11:3 John the Baptist, full of the Holy Spirit from the womb (Luke 1:15) and forerunner to the Messiah (Luke 3:4) had a moment of doubt. Not that I blame him. The man had been about God’s business, part of which was a public rebuke of King Herod for his illicit marriage to his brother’s wife. Confrontation wasn’t new to John and the results so far had been Continue Reading

Darts Among Friends

Every Thursday I’ll post an article having to do with either relational or emotional matters. Hope it helps. — Darts Among Friends Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. - Ephesians 5:16 In Shakespeare’s Othello the evil character Iago acts out his hatred for one man, and his contempt for people in general, by dividing. He whispers insinuations to Othello, then to his beloved wife Desdemona, and his caption Cassio as well, arousing suspicions between them Continue Reading

A Desolate Epitaph

Every Thursday I’ll post an article having to do with either relational or emotional matters. Hope it helps. — A Desolate Epitaph “He passed away, to no one's regret --- ”(NIV) - II Chronicles 21:20 King Jehoram’s history could hardly have been uglier. First born son of righteous King Jehoshaphat, he had all his brothers killed when he took the throne, grabbed Ahab’s daughter for a wife, established and then sanctioned national idolatry, and, as the text states in general, “did that which was evil in the sight of the Continue Reading

Beyond Belief

Every Wednesday we’ll post something to do with doctrine and purity. Hope it helps. --- Beyond Belief Words lose their original meaning through the ‘watering down’ process of misuse and redefinition. (“Christian” “ love” and “relationship” are a few that come to mind.) So it is with the word “believer.” In the New Testament it was used in reference to people who both believed in Christ and were committed to Him. (Acts 5:14) Their beliefs directed their behavior, and the idea of belief without corresponding action Continue Reading
