52 Things Husbands Need From Their Wives

I refuse to assemble Ikea furniture. I load the dishwasher wrong. I leave newspapers scattered on the kitchen table. A cup of caffeinated coffee after 6 p.m. will keep me tossing and turning in our shared bed until 2 a.m. According to a recent MRI, my knees need to be replaced. I’m not as patient as I need to be. I like my mom’s chili better than my wife’s. I like dairy products, but they gurgle my tummy, with unpleasant results. I have sharp toenails.

In other words, I am not the perfect husband. As a matter of fact, I have dozens more flaws that I’m not going to reveal in these pages. To be clear, we’re not talking about any of the four A’s—abuse, adultery, addiction, or abandonment—which go way beyond the definition of “flaw.” Each one of those challenges is a type of brokenness that needs repair. We’ll wrestle with some of those issues in later chapters, and more than likely they’ll require some professional counseling.

Understanding The Purpose And Power Of Men

The crisis we are seeing today is actually a contemporary version of an age-old dilemma. Men and women alike lost their concept of what it truly means to be human—male and female—a long time ago. The problem is also not confined to particular cultures. The question of identity is a global problem. I have traveled to many nations, and I have concluded that most of the world is suffering from what I call the ―consequences of ignorance of purpose.‖ In every nation, in every community, no matter what language the citizens speak or what color their skin is, people are experiencing a common dilemma. They are suffering the debilitating effects of a misconception of purpose. They don‘t understand who they really are and therefore aren‘t living up to their full potential in life.

Finding Your Purpose In Life

His fears were eventually confirmed. His son returned home for a visit, obviously grappling with his faith in God. As they were conversing one day under an old oak tree, the son suddenly blurted out, “Dad, I just can’t believe in God anymore. Why, look at those pumpkins over there on the ground. They are big and heavy, yet have small and tender vines. But, this big oak tree, capable of supporting the weight of the pumpkins, only produces tiny acorns. If there was really an intelligent God of this universe, He would have placed the pumpkin on this oak tree, and the tiny acorn on the fragile vine.” Suddenly, an acorn fell from the tree, bouncing lightly off the top of the young man’s head. As the truth slowly dawned, he sheepishly spoke, “Dad, thank God that was not a pumpkin!” Click Here To Download The Book

52 Things Wives Need From Their Husbands

Before I reveal the formula for living happily ever after, let’s consider the work that needs to be done. Bringing home a paycheck. Paying bills. Changing lightbulbs. Changing diapers.

Finding Your Purpose

God has some good things for you to do. The great thing about being faithful is more responsibility. God has already preplanned and ordained in advance the good works that you are to walk in. Why? So that when you do it, you don't take the credit. You can't even glory in the good things that you do because you realize God already planned for them ahead of time, and He literally set you up. He gave you the ability, He gave you the place, and then He anointed you to do what you were called to do. Click Here To Download The Book

Anger - Handling A Powerful Emotion In A Healthy Way

ANGER IS EVERYWHERE. Spouses are angry at each other. Employees are angry at bosses. Teens are angry at parents (and vice versa). Citizens are angry at their government. Television news routinely shows angry demonstrators shouting their wrath. Spend some time around a major airport when bad weather has canceled flights, and you will observe anger in action. Many of us are angry at ourselves. Sometimes we are angry and think we “shouldn’t feel that way.” Or we observe our children expressing anger inappropriately and wonder how to teach them to deal with their anger. Clearly, many of us have “issues” with anger. In addition, Christians are often confused about this powerful and complex emotion. For those who follow Christ is there ever an appropriate expression of anger? What does the Bible say Can anger ever be a good thing? Click to Download

Purpose Awakening

Chances are if you picked up this book based on the title and are reading these words, you’re likely someone who has already begun to question what the purpose of your life is.

Fulfilling Your Personal Prophecy

Our perspective towards prophecy should be that of a biblical attitude and the biblical attitude towards prophecy is thoroughly positive. Not only are we told to avoid despising prophecy—that is, assigning to it a lesser role than is proper; we are also exhorted to prove all prophecies, and hold fast to what is good and accurate in them (I Thess. 5:20,21). Even more importantly, God commands us to desire earnestly and covet the prophetic ministry (I Cor. 12:39; 14:1,39). It is, in fact, the only ministry that the scriptures tell Christians to covet. A truly inspired personal prophecy is God's specific word to an individual. So the same scriptural principles for the proper attitudes toward the written Logos Word should apply equally to the prophetically spoken rhema word. Several attitudes are critical for receiving a personal prophecy properly: Click Here To Download The Book
