NO SCORECARD NEEDED

/in

Love……thinks no evil. (1 Corinthians 13 v 4-5) It’s a bit of advice most married couples have been told at some point; when there’s a disagreement, stay focused on the matter at hand. Here’s an example of what not to do. Her: Of course, I’m upset! You said you’d be home by 6pm. I have dinner […]

Love’s long fuse

/in

Love…..is not provoked (I Corinthians 13 v 4-5) Short fuse and godly love are like oil and water, they just don’t miss! Think about Jesus’ life and how patient He was with clueless disciples and hypocritical priest. Remember how He welcomed children (Matthew 19 v 14), tax collectors (Mark 2 v 15), and even prostitutes […]

A Golden Rule Opportunity

/in

Love does not behave rudely. (1 Corinthians 13 vs 4-5) Home is where we let out hair down. We relax and unwind; we freely share our opinions and vent out frustrations. Home is where he doesn’t have to shave, and she doesn’t have to put on mascara. It’s where we can transparently be ourselves. And […]

“In like manner a tithe of our income is “holy unto the Lord.” The New Testament does not re-enact the law of the tithe, as it does not that of the Sabbath; for the validity of both is assumed, and their deep spiritual import is explained….. While we as a people are seeking faithfully to […]

Love does not brag

Maybe it’s because of the big promotion we got at work……or perhaps we lost six pounds…or maybe even because, unlike our spouse, we got up early three straight days and spent time with the Lord. Whatever the accomplishment, there is one temptation we all face: bragging. Let’s face it, God knows us more than we […]

Stewardship – “Living Within the Income”

/in

“Many do not remember the cause of God, and carelessly expend money in holiday amusements, in dress and folly, and when there is a call made for the advancement of the work in the home and foreign missions, they have nothing to give, or even have overdrawn their account. Thus they rob God in tithes and offerings, and through […]
