How is Godly Marriage Different?
“For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.”
Ephesians 5:23

Ponder This
Who is the head of the Church? Jesus Christ. And the husband is to be the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the Church. Think about Jesus who is the head of the Church. He is the Sovereign Lord of the Church. He’s your Lord. Consider this question. Has Jesus Christ ever, ever forced you to do anything? Not one time. And yet Jesus is the head of the Church, and He is the Lord of your life and worthy of everything you have. And yet He is not the dictator of the Church; He is the head of the Church. And this is what a husband needs to be.
Practice This
Seek to lead another person in the way of Jesus today by sacrificing some of your own desires for the sake of another.
FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
