Day Fifteen – The Love Dare: One Wife’s Journey


Back in October 2008... The scripture verse that touched me in particular today is –


Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous. Hebrews 13:4

Love is honorable…


How am I supposed to honor my husband more than I do? I don’t talk about him to other people. I try to minister to him, daily. I need suggestions, Lord.

That was then, this is now...


Live with your wives in an understanding way…and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life. 1 Peter 3:7

The first thing that pops into my mind is the clichés of men finding it impossible to understand women. It is difficult to understand our mates at times. But showing honor is a choice we make whether we understand our partner or not. Because we are fellow heirs with Christ, we should honor each other. Does this mean we don’t need to honor non-believers? No way. How are we, as Christians, going to win them to the kingdom if we dishonor them? A good rule of thumb is to honor everyone.

But, how can we do this? Treat them respectfully. Listen to them. Consider their opinions. Pray with and for them. Spend time with them.

Lord, show me how to honor my husband. I realize that this relationship is a shadow of the relationship between Christ and the church, and I want to honor You as well. I also know that by honoring my husband, I honor You, and I want to do that with all of my heart. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Homiletics Training: Content

Homiletics .   By definition, “homiletic” is the art of preaching or writing sermons.   I think we would all agree that our pastors study the Bible thoroughly to deliver sermons every Sunday to their congregations.   The beautiful news is that every child of God can use this discipline to study the Bible for themselves. As a member of Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) Leadership, part of my required preparation each week is to prepare homiletics for the passage we are studying.   BSF offers an engaging seminar on how to use this method to study the Scriptures.   I’ve taken the seminar several times under two different leaders and I’ve learned something new every time I’ve attended.   I’ve also been doing the process of homiletics for over ten years and I can say that there is no better teacher than the Holy Spirit in this process!   So keep practicing.   Keep sharing and discussing.   I’ve been posting my homiletics on this blog for quite a...

Armor of God – Week One – Sizing Up The Enemy

Welcome to Boot Camp!   For the next seven weeks we will be training with our weapons (God’s Word and prayer) in preparation for the battle of our lives and the lives of others!   And we will be learning how to equip ourselves with the Armor of God. Priscilla Shirer’s Armor of God Bible study is a MUST-DO for EVERY BIBLE STUDENT!   I don’t mean to shout, but I can’t emphasize this enough!!!   We are at war boys and girls.   And our enemy wants to keep us in the dark about that fact.   If he can convince us that he does not exist or that our God is not good or that we are not loved and treasured by the King and Creator of the Universe, he wins the battle.   But can I share something with you?   OUR ENEMY HAS ALREADY LOST THE WAR!!!!!   His time is short and he is grasping at anything we leave dangling in an attempt to drag us down.   So let’s not leave too much dangling. My church begins the Armor of God study tonight (9/9/15). ...
