“I’m Right and My Spouse Is Wrong, So It’s Not My Job to Get Us Off the Crazy Cycle!” - Part 1

Beyond Natural Laws: Exploring Origins, Quantum Mechanics, and Biblical Wonders

In science, attempting to describe the origin of the cosmos remains an enigma beyond the reach of empirical inquiry. The events that transpired during and before the Big Bang (the name scientists give to the beginning of the universe as we know it) defy conventional understanding, transcending the boundaries of our known laws of nature.

Though She Could Divorce, a Wife Chooses to Stay

In Matthew 19:9, Jesus said, “And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.” Put another way, if a spouse has committed adultery, this kind of immorality is grounds for the marriage’s dissolution.

Do You Erupt with Anger Even When There Was No Malicious Intent to Begin With?

Think back to your last few arguments with your spouse. The times when something he or she did or said really set you off. Maybe you were fuming mad, even if for only a few moments. Perhaps you stirred angry in bed or vented with your friend about how upset you had become with your spouse.

Is Your Marriage Stuck in a Cycle? We’ve Got a Name for That (And a Plan!)

We’ve all at some point entered a room, flipped the light switch, and discovered that the lights won’t come on. When this happens, what is usually the next thing we do? Right, we try it a second time. Maybe even a third time. But short of the rare situation where we learn our first failed attempt to turn on the light was merely a result of us not flipping the switch all the way, did our second and third attempts produce different results? Not at all.

In Exodus 20:14, when God first gave Moses and the Israelites the Ten Commandments, He listed plain and simple: “You shall not commit adultery.” Later, during Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, He reemphasized this command: “You have heard it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery’” (Matthew 5:27).

Parenting

“What Did You Hear Me Say? Does That Make Sense?”

As parents, we find ourselves continually giving instruction to our kids. Of course, we know the Lord expects us to instruct our children. We read in the Bible two such verses: Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction, and do not ignore your mother’s teaching. (Proverbs 1:8)

How Do We Parent unto Jesus Christ?

We read in the King James version of Matthew 25:40, “And the King shall answer and say unto them, ‘Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.’” As followers of Christ, we believe that the incentive for serving other people goes beyond meeting that person’s need.

How Do You Respond When You Feel Your Children Provoking You to Anger?

As loving parents, we are to be emotionally unprovoked. This is even the case during conflicts with our kids. According to 1 Corinthians 13:5, love “is not provoked.” Why do I surface this? I have a hunch. Provoked parents end up provoking their kids.

“Help! I Don’t Know What I’m Doing!” - Three Types of Rules to Help All Parents

Have you as a parent ever heard someone without children say, “I’m not ready to be a parent”? If you have, I predict that outwardly you may have smiled and nodded at them, perhaps saying something like, “Yeah, parenting can be crazy tough”; but inside you were thinking, No one is ever ready to be a parent. You think I know what I’m doing? . . . Wait, where’s my son?
