The Joy of a Godly Wife

On June 12, 2011 my wife Rebecca and I celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary.  The greatest treasure that I posses on this earth is my relationship with my wife.  The Word of God declares in Proverbs 31:11, speaking of the virtuous woman, "The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her..."  In my life and ministry my wife has been my greatest asset and joy.  While she is not perfect, she seeks to walk with the Lord daily and please Him with her life.  As a pastor I could not preform my ministry tasks were it not for the hard work and dedication of my wife.  In a day and age where marriages are falling by the way side, in the world and unfortunately in the church, I am a blessed man to say that I have the joy of a Godly wife.  May we all seek to work diligently in our marriages to be what God would have us all to be for His glory. 

Life Lessons Written in Stone

We have come to a place in our society where we do not practice, put in a place of emphasize nor give priority to the ten commandments found in Exodus twenty.  The reason the ACLU and other liberal organizations fight the displaying of the Ten Commandments is because they are vehemently opposed to the God of the Bible.  The reason a majority of public school systems are opposed to teaching creationism along side evolution is because they are opposed to the God of the Bible. 

Churches in this generation have allowed the liberal media to control the minds of our children.  The reason we are seeing an attack on the Word of God and the commandments of God is because the church has been silent and we have made the word of God palatable to a lost and dying world.  In the coming weeks we at Maranatha Baptist church will be examining the Ten Commandments in a series entitled, "Life Lessons Written in Stone."  Gods commandments are ever abiding promises of His love, care and concern for man kind.  Let us all determine as followers of the Cross of Christ to lift His banner high, follow the teachings of the Word of God and seek to win a lost world to a saving knowledge of Jesus.
