Dear KKIM Family,
Is there anything worse than blindness?
Oh Yes! A person with sight an no vision. Helen Keller
Are we blind to what is going on around us?
Are you going through your marriage blind? (I have at times!)…too many times!
I am really thankful to the Lord for the opportunity to have gone to the Weekend to Remember Marriage conference! I also am so blessed with our relationship with all the folks at Family Life Today, which you hear on KKIM at 7am and 8:30pm weekdays.
In the session for men, we were only separated from our wives for about an hour and a half…..Tim Muelhoff, who I want to have on my program, addressed the men.
A man takes responsibility, to follow Christ.
Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love. 1 Cor. 16: 13-14
I am going to be sharing, Lord willing over the next couple posts, things I learned at the Weekend to Remember, and then maybe you will go the next time.
Be strong……….but do it all in love.
A Man acknowledges Christ as the absolute leader in his life.
AMEN! The Lord must be our leader men, not TV, golf, softball, video games etc…….
He follows Christ.
“If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.” Matt. 16:24
To many of us end up at times following something else.
So many of the problems we face today in America is because us men, have not done our duty. The good news is that we can correct ourselves!
He obeys Christ.
“If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” John 14:15
He depends on the Spirit moment to moment.
If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. Gal. 5:25
He courageously assumes the responsibility to love and lead his wife and family.
A man takes responsibility for his role as a husband.
God has designated the husband as the head of the relationship.
For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is also the head of the church, he himself being the Savior of the body. Ephesians 5:23
His leadership is NOT BASED ON SUPERIOR ABILITIES but on divine placement.
Headship means:
Assuming responsibility for the marriage.
being accountable to God.
IT DOES NOT MEAN BEING A BULLY OR BOSS OR DICTATOR!
Tim said in the session, in the room about our size, 250 men, about 2 to 3 percent are beating their wives. Pornography is also a huge problem in the Church.
God has designed the husband and wife with equal value.
There is neither Jew or Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male or female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Gal 3:28
God loves man and women equally.
I will close this today and Lord willing wrap it up on Thursday or Friday.
Just remember men…………
A wise husband values his wife as his partner and helper.
Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.” Gen. 2:18
I PRAISE GOD for the Marriage conference……..if you want more info on Family Life Today and Weekend to Remember go to www.familylife.com
Men, how long has it been since you have tuned up your marriage? It had been too long for me!
I repeat if men would be doing better at what we are supposed to do in serving the Lord and his commands, we would not have so many problems today.
Please allow me to close in prayer………..
Lord God, Truth and Life, Let us savor the moments and not fret the what-ifs and might-have-beens. In the name of Jesus, Amen!
In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family
