Two Funerals, One Wedding
“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her.”
Ephesians 5:25
March 11, 2021
Ponder This
Do you know what most marriages need? Two funerals and one wedding—where both husband and wife die to living for themselves and come alive to Jesus Christ.
You see, when a man loves his wife passionately, there’s nothing too precious for that man to give up for his wife, except his relationship to Almighty God.
When there’s that kind of love shown to a woman, I dare say the topic of submission would not be an issue.
Most women don’t mind submitting to the leadership of a man who loves her enough to die for her and shows it by the way he lives for her.
Practice This
Are you married? Then go on a date this week with your spouse. Are you single? Pray that God would prepare you to be the spouse your mate will need.
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.’”
