Marriage: Sharing Spiritual Leadership in the Home
Dr. Phil Lineberger, Senior Pastor | Romans 14:12 | Posted On 2/27 | More info...
Spiritual leadership in the home is both essential and difficult. If we do it effectively it adds a sense of joy and meaning in being a family. Spiritual leadership provides a freedom of spirit and a richness of relationships that is found in no other way. How do we provide that leadership?
In the family it takes teamwork to provide spiritual leadership. The husband and wife, both saved by the grace of God in Jesus Christ and spiritually gifted by the risen Lord, are essential to leading their family to a living faith.
Marriage: The Do's after Saying "I Do"
Dr. Phil Lineberger, Senior Pastor | 1 Peter 4:8 | Posted On 2/20 | More info...
To marry is an act of faith - to stay married is a matter of active belief. In order to maintain that active belief one must understand that marriage is always changing and requires active renewal. So marriage is not a contract, nor even a dog license, but a process. As we go through this process we must understand what we ask of marriage and what marriage asks of us.
1 Peter 4:8, “Above all, love each other deeply because love covers over a multitude of sins.” ABOVE ALL, LOVE EACH OTHER AT FULL STRENGTH. Loving each other deeply or at full strength should include the do’s after saying I do. What are some of those do’s?
Marriage: Ignorance Is a Good Excuse
Dr. Phil Lineberger, Senior Pastor | Genesis 1:27-2:25 | Posted On 2/13 | More info...
Everything in creation is designed by God. Everything in creation has a divine purpose. Having a better understanding of the human brain created by a loving God gives us better possibilities for relating to each other. Better understanding of the differences in the male and female brain also provides better possibilities for more fulfilling marriages. Thanks be to God for His wonderful creation.
