GOD'S HEART BREAKS FOR MARRIAGES

Hey everyone please forgive this aging Preacher Man and disregard my last post if you received it! Technology is great until you inadvertently hit the send key before you even get started! Here is what I meant to blog....

Man, just got in here this morning and already found out that two Christian marriages have tanked or are tanking out. The husband in one marriage is an uncaring, unfeeling workaholic and the wife has grown emotionally numb from neglect. So what does she do? She calls it quits and then calls her lawyer. The other marriage has lasted over 35 years, but a husband's consuming thoughts for a woman from the past finally broke the heart of his wife now. Regrettably, he chose a former fling, over an awesome present and an incredible future.

Whatever happened to "til death do us part"...which by the way most couples ask to have deleted from their wedding vows? Christan men need to "man up" and Christian women need to "woman up" and follow Jesus in their marriages, especially in their marriages. Jesus said "I have come to bring you life, and life in abundance" even to your marriages. I believe what was true then is still true today.

My heart broke this morning over the news, but you know what? I believe God's did too!

TIME WITH GOD

Man I had some solid time with God today! It was nothing way out there just substantive and good. As the old saying goes, "If you are ever coasting it is never uphill!" You know it is easy to coast in our spiritual lives. We get busy, life happens, and our spirituality goes from being the most important thing to us to the most forgotten. The crazy thing is that it doesn't happen all at once. No it happens one forgotten prayer, one unconfessed sin, one overlooked scripture reading at a time. And before you know it you are halfway down your hill! So my challenge to you is to wake up, quit coasting, and start trekking back up. God is counting on you! He believes in you! You can to do it!
