We’ve all heard the phrase “a marriage made in heaven.” But depending on your life situation, the word marriage may bring to mind different thoughts and images. Perhaps it’s of your parents’ marriage and whether it was a good one or a contentious one. Or maybe it’s your own marriage and the thoughts, dreams, commitments, and even preconceptions, you had when you married. Or perhaps, marriage is something you are still looking forward to.
Wherever you are … married, divorced, widowed, or single, I pray you’ll take away truths from this series that will help you in your own or any future marriage or help you minister to others who are married.
This year is fast drawing to a close and many of us are thinking about our resolutions for the new year. We’ll set goals for eating better and using that gym membership. We may set family goals and financial or career goals. But let’s not neglect the most important area of life … our spiritual life. One valuable goal is to read through the Bible.
But … why read through the Bible? Can’t we get everything we need by going to church, reading a verse or two each day, and listening to podcasts here and there? Isn’t it just too time-consuming? One more thing on a long to-do list?
Or what if you’ve tried in the past, only to fall behind and give up? How can you do it successfully in the coming year? Are there some strategies that can help?
One of the most concise Biblical instructions for parents appears in the book of Ephesians where it says, “… do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.” Some of the ways we provoke our children to anger are obvious, but others may be less so. Could you be provoking your children to anger in ways you haven’t realized?
We have been working our way through the book of Colossians in this series of posts and today we will wrap it up. In the last lesson, we began talking about how we change and grow through a process that is sometimes called the put-offs and put-ons. In this lesson, we’ll look at what it means to let the Word of Christ dwell within us and talk more about the process of putting off the old man and putting on the character of Christ.

I was reminded recently that the greatest call for believers is not evangelism or discipleship. It’s not teaching or encouraging or serving. The greatest call to us as followers of Christ is to be worshippers of the one true and living God.
And while most of us would agree that all of Scripture is profitable and we could spend a lifetime mining its depths, the psalms hold special value when it comes to teaching us how to worship. That’s why I was so excited when I heard about the new devotional book Spurgeon and the Psalms.
