God will HELP YOU OUT OF SELF DESTRUCTION

·                     O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thine help. (Hosea 13:19).

Through some of your actions, you have endangered your life. Unholy life breeds destruction. Is there any destruction that is around you, owning to what you have done? Is your peace being destroyed? Maybe, your health.Even if it is your marriage. Cheer up. There is hope for you. Hear God saying to you; no matter what you have done, no matter how far you have gone in your errors, no matter the attending consequences; I am ready to help you. God always wants us to redirect our attention back to Him. And when we do, His help will lose us from every self-destruction.

Praying to Recover Your Marriage

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Genesis 1:26-28.

If you Need Change in Your Marriage...Start from Yourself

If you want to save your marriage then you must be willing to look at thyself and improve who you are. If you are not willing to admit you need inner healing then you will not be able to save your marriage. 

Here is what Jesus Christ Said:  

"Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself ..." Luke 4:23

marriage question

Do you have a marriage question that you want biblical answers to? Let us know and we’ll pray about it, research it, and guide you with the understanding and wisdom God has blessed us with. And remember, it is not what Frank or Angie can do for your marriage, because we cannot save marriage; it is between YOU and God. We’re just the messengers.  

Life is beautiful when we have God in our lives!

Don’t Let Bitterness Poison Your Marriage

The Bible says in Hebrews 12, “Make every effort to live in peace with all men(which would include your spouse) and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.”

But what do you do when your spouse hurts you so deeply that a bitter root is growing within? Despite your every effort, this bitterness is taking over, and it is poisoning your marriage.

Barriers To Forgiveness And How to Overcome them

There are two barriers to forgiveness. One is simple unwillingness, which is something each of us can decide to change. The other is misunderstanding of what biblical forgiveness is. Forgiveness can be confusing. Misinterpretations of Scripture and other misconceptions have distorted its meaning. As we sharpen the focus on God’s view of forgiveness, note which issues have been misconceptions for you and which are issues of unwillingness.

Please Note:
FORGIVENESS IS NOT: dismissing the offender’s moral responsibility.
But FORGIVENESS IS: dismissing the right to pay back and assuming the responsibility to love.
FORGIVENESS IS NOT: primarily a feeling.
But FORGIVENESS IS: primarily a choice based on truth.
FORGIVENESS IS NOT: forgetting the offense.
But FORGIVENESS IS: deciding not to use the offense in retributive ways.
FORGIVENESS IS NOT: a once-for-all event.
Yet FORGIVENESS IS: a decision which often must be reaffirmed.
FORGIVENESS IS NOT: agreeing to trust an untrustworthy person.
But FORGIVENESS IS: being willing (when appropriate) to allow the offender to rebuild responsible trust.
FORGIVENESS IS NOT: passively tolerating future abuse.
Yet FORGIVENESS IS: exercising disciplinary measures with redemptive intent.

The Key 10 Things Every Bride Should Know Before Her Wedding Night

1. Take it slow.

It’s been a long tiring journey, planning for your wedding. The running around, the planning, the actual wedding day, it will all take a toll on you and your beloved —mentally, emotionally and physically. By the end of your wedding day, you’ll be tired though chances are you might not even feel it (that adrenaline thing can lie).

My husband and I knew we were tired. Plus I was recovering from chicken pox so my tiredness was on the double.

Our plan for the honeymoon night was dinner, lots of cuddles, massage, plenty of rest and sleep. But things didn’t’ go according to plan!

Divorce And Remarriage: Which way out for a Christian?

What Does the Bible Teach about Who May Divorce and Remarry?

Divorce and remarriage have become common as civil law allows no-fault divorce. A husband or wife may dissolve a marriage for almost any grounds and remarry, regardless of the will of their spouse. The result is that many people marry without considering the teaching of the Bible. Is fornication (or adultery) the only Scriptural grounds for divorce, or does the gospel allow marriage to be dissolved for other grounds? Please consider this careful study of the Biblical teaching.

Introduction:

Many forces in society defend the practice of easy divorce.

Divorce laws in America are so lax that almost anyone can dissolve a marriage and remarry at any time for any reason. With "no-fault" divorce, a husband or wife can claim "incompatibility" or "irreconcilable differences" and get a divorce no matter how much their spouse objects.

What is right or wrong is determined by the Creator of the Universe.

Men will be judged according to whether or not we have conformed our lives to His will (John 12:48). Man's will often differs from God's (Prov. 14:12; Isa. 55:8,9; 2 Cor. 10:12,18; Lk. 16:15,18). Since the Bible reveals God's will, we must learn what it says about divorce and remarriage (2 Tim. 3:16,17; 1 Cor. 14:37; Eph. 3:3-5; 2 Pet. 1:21).

Vengeance in Relationship

Vengeance is not just physical actions we take against others. One of the most common ways to take vengeance is by saying things to hurt others. Others harm us (or we imagine so), so we say defamatory things to "get even." Someone accuses us of something, so we respond, "Well, what about the time when you..."

Sin must be rebuked. But when we do so, we must be sure that we are motivated by concern for the sinner and others who may be involved, not by a desire for vengeance.

1 Corinthians 4:12,13; Ephesians 4:31

Help, Lord

"Help, Lord." --Psalm 12:1

 The prayer itself is remarkable, for it is short, but seasonable, sententious, and suggestive. David mourned the fewness of faithful men, and therefore lifted up his heart in supplication--when the creature failed, he flew to the Creator. He evidently felt his own weakness, or he would not have cried for help; but at the same time he intended honestly to exert himself for the cause of truth, for the word "help" is inapplicable where we ourselves do nothing. There is much of directness, clearness of perception, and distinctness of utterance in this petition of two words; much more, indeed, than in the long rambling outpourings of certain professors. The Psalmist runs straight-forward to his God, with a well-considered prayer; he knows what he is seeking, and where to seek it. Lord, teach us to pray in the same blessed manner.

 The occasions for the use of this prayer are frequent. In providential afflictions how suitable it is for tried believers who find all helpers failing them. Students, in doctrinal difficulties, may often obtain aid by lifting up this cry of "Help, Lord," to the Holy Spirit, the great Teacher. Spiritual warriors in inward conflicts may send to the throne for

The Real Problem With Today's Youths
(and why most parents just don't get it!)

"The inspiration of a noble cause involving human interests wide and far, enables men to do things they did not dream themselves capable of before, and which they were not capable of alone. The consciousness of belonging, vitally, to something beyond individuality; of being part of a personality that reaches we know not where, in space and time, greatens the heart to the limit of the soul's ideal, and builds out the supreme of character."   (Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, October 3, 1889)

Forgiveness in Marriage

Forgiveness in Marriage ©©©©©©©©© by Edward Freedom

Jesus says we need to forgive others—many, many times over. The reason for this is simple, really -- other people, no matter who they are, strangers on the street, or the person we are married to, will do and say things that will often hurt us in some way. In this e-book I talk about what happens if we don’t forgive?

Solving Marriage Sex Issues?

Communication Is The Key To Solving Sex Problems

A couple’s sex life is a barometer for the health of the relationship — unresolved sex issues often indicate that there are underlying problems. Regularly placed ahead of financial worries or childrearing disagreements as cause for divorce, sex problems magnify a lack of understanding and communication within what should be a woman’s closest relationship. The causes of marital sex problems may be physical, emotional, or both. If they are understood and addressed properly, they can be effectively treated, and can even bring the couple closer together. Communicating with your partner in the way that works best for both of you is the most effective way to deal with all types of sex issues.

Sex researcher Denise Donnelly interviewed 6,029 married people in 1993 and found that sexually

Is it Infatuation or is it Love?

How will you know if you are really in love or if it is just infatuation? Love is an action and infatuation is a feeling. Love, unlike infatuation and lust take commitment and devotion to a person. This is because when we truly love someone it takes self-sacrificing behaviors and attitude.

When you love someone you wouldn’t do anything to hurt him or her. If you’re not married you wouldn’t try to incite passion within her and she would not flirt with and excite him. These actions come from the feelings that infatuation creates. If we constantly obsess about a person we are in a relationship with, morals will take a backseat and we will get our lustful desires met through sexual relations.

Having sex outside of the “one flesh” of marriage creates delusion and wrong attitudes within a couple and keeps the relationship from

Love Is Something We Learn From God

Real love is exactly the opposite of lust. Lusting after strangers or anyone other than who we are married is being disrespectful to the purity of that person and to the purity of ourselves. No one else’s body belongs to us except for the person we are married to. Real love is something we learn from our spiritual growth with God. Love is a verb, not a feeling. To love someone means to actually sacrifice something of ourselves without asking for anything in return. Without God we cannot love others in the proper ways.

Controlling our Sex Drive

Even though sex is good, it must be controlled! As we look at society we see many uncontrolled desires and sex drives running amok causing much harm and danger. People blame God for plagues and diseases but these things are caused from our own rebelliousness to him! When we choose to disobey God’s commands for us bad stuff happens because of our own foolish choices!

As with anything in life we must control it, so it will not overtake our lives and cause spiritual and emotional turmoil for us. We must control our sex drive, lest we hurt others, damage our relationships and ourselves, and sin against God. If we don’t control our appetite for food we become overweight and sick. In the same way if we don’t control our appetite for sex it will control us and tempt us into immoral acts of lust.  A sex drive must be controlled! 

Rushing into Marriage NOT Prepared

Ask Edward: Dear Edward, I’m a 20 year female that got married and having regrets about it, what do I do? The 14th of March makes it a year and infidelity has already taken place? Trusting him is the last thing I can do right now. I tried praying about it and that does not seem to be working and if it is I’m having a hard time realizing it. I have no one to talk to about the way I’m feeling so I’m HOPING you can help me out because I’m 2 seconds away from saying "I want out" Please right back I’m in need of help!

Marriage Guidance: You’re not the only one who has felt the way you do and you are not the only one who has rushed into marriage unprepared. The sad truth is you did not know the man you married when you married him and he probably did not know you either. Answer this: Would you have married him if

Main 5 Reasons Why You Should Not Jump Into Marriage

1. Marriage Does Not Solve Problems Many young couples seem to think that once they settle down and get married that all of their problems will disappear. Some people are unhappy or lonely being single and they jump into married life for the wrong reasons. But marriage alone will not make you happy, and it will not solve emotional, personal or sexual problems you may be going through. I highly encourage all couples, at whatever age, to heal themselves of any personal issues first before jumping into marriage. You will definitely be a more loving marriage partner because of it. 2. Marriage Is Not A Good Reason For Leaving Home Some young women have this “hurry up, leave home and get married attitude” and I think it is because they have been

Young Women Courtship Tips

Courtshipping is different then dating. Courting is more like being friends without the emotional or sexual involvement. If this sounds like something you would be interested in then read on for some great courtship tips. “To court” actually prepares people for a healthy relationship/marriage, while dating subconsciously prepares people for a relationship/marriage without respect and commitment. Why is that? Let’s find out. Get To Know Him Based On Respect The word “courting” can be labeled as dating by society, but we cannot compare apples with oranges – they are two different things. Sex is almost
