Checks & Balances
2 Tim.3:16-17 (NIV) “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
Anything you leave man to navigate in his own wisdom, man will abuse. God knows this, so He puts checks and balances in place. God says, ‘wives submit to your husbands‘. Read the rest of this entry
The Dynamics III
Matt.19:5-6 (KJV) “And said, for this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
For what cause? For the cause of marriage “…shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh…” When a man confuses his mother for his wife, Read the rest of this entry
The Dynamics II
Col.3:20-21 “Children, always obey your parents, for this pleases the Lord. Fathers, do not aggravate your children, or they will become discouraged.”
The concept of obedience according to God’s Word, changes as a child matures. As a parent, when you are talking to a ten-year-old, obedience can be likened to being a dictator. Read the rest of this entry
The Dynamics I
Eph.6:24 “Grace be with all who have an undying love for our Lord Jesus Christ” (NRSV)
Please study Eph.6 (NRSV), it is the focus of our discourse and learning for the next couple of days. One of my first thoughts after reading Eph.6 was who is Tychicus? Read the rest of this entry
Watch Out
Gal. 5:9-10 “This false teaching is like a little yeast that spreads through the whole batch of dough! I am trusting the Lord to keep you from believing false teachings. God will judge that person, whoever he is, who has been confusing you.”
One of the things that we should be careful of, as believers, is the leaven – what you eat. In other words, it is not everybody you listen to. Not everyone who calls himself a man of God is actually a man of God. Read the rest of this entry
Compliance
Eph.5:21 And further, submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. (emphasis added)
We spent the last two days explaining, in line with scripture, what submitting one to another means for the wife. Today, we will focus on what submission means for the husband. Read the rest of this entry
Spirit Guided
2 Pet. 3:17-18 (MSG) “But you, friends, are well-warned. Be on guard lest you lose your footing and get swept off your feet by these lawless and loose-talking teachers. Grow in grace and understanding of our Master and Saviour, Jesus Christ…”
In a counselling session, my wife and I were speaking to a couple about submission. One of the ways God has helped me in my life is, I hear what is spoken and what is not spoken. In the course of the session, Read the rest of this entry
Path of Godliness
2 Tim.3:16 (TPT) “Every Scripture has been written by the Holy Spirit, the breath of God. It will empower you by its instruction and correction, giving you the strength to take the right direction and lead you deeper into the path of godliness.”
Everyone you come in contact with has an eternal destiny. You have to make the most of every opportunity to witness Christ. When God opens a door for you to preach the gospel, just preach the Word. Read the rest of this entry
The Most
Eph.5:16 (NRSV) “making the most of the time, because the days are evil.” (emphasis added)
The New Living Translation of the same Eph.5:16 reads, “Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days” (emphasis added). If you are going to fulfil your destiny, you have to make the most of every opportunity. Read the rest of this entry
Do Quick!
Eph.5:1 “Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children.” (emphasis added).
If you want to be an imitator of God, then you must imitate Him. God left His Kingdom, became a man and died for us. Paul says, how can you have earthly goods and not share with your brother and sister, Read the rest of this entry
