1/18/21 Birth Pangs
Sometimes the responsibility of holding our offices of husband and father becomes pretty overwhelming, especially if we’re attempting to hold them in a way that pleases the Lord. Standing in the gap for another until Christ is fully formed in that person – which is very much a part of our duties as stewards – […]

1/16/21 Nothing of Ourselves
If you are like most of us guys, plans, ideas, challenges, and a myriad of other mind games consume our time and cause us to seek outcomes that seem logical to us.

1/15/21 The Husband Bride
When I first came to the Lord, I couldn’t comprehend how a man could also be part of the bride of Christ. “Macho Me” had great difficulty surrendering my masculinity to some bridal story in which I was to play a part. Over the years, I have learned of the wonder and privilege I have […]

1/14/21 Player or Prayer?
Are you primarily a player or a prayer in your relationship with your wife and children? A player adheres to the world’s direction for solving his family situations.

Men, when was the last time you expressed your gratefulness to your wife? Have you thanked her not only for who she is and what she does, but also because the Lord placed the two of you together? The kindness of thankful words goes a long way in building a solid, prosperous marriage. If you […]

1/11/21 Precious
The definition of the word precious is “something that is of great value or high priced, highly esteemed or cherished.” Even though this word is not often used to describe men, the definition really fits how God sees his husbands and fathers.

1/09/21 Your Word
At one time, I was blessed to live in a farm community where the longtime farmers have a higher code than you see most places. In essence, their word is their bond. To shake on something is closer to the covenant meaning in which that gesture originated. Shaking hands (actually wrists) was a blood tie […]

1/08/21 Stewards, Not Owners
If you are a believer, it’s a given that God owns everything. He’s the sole owner of every heartbeat of all who have ever had blood pumping through their veins. The cattle on every hill are marked with His brand. Then why is it we, as humans, have the audacity to claim anything as our […]
