On men who badmouth their wives...

Every now and then I read an article and I think, "I wish every man would read this."

The article I'm about to share with you qualifies.

But before I share the article, I must warn you. 
1. Some of you won't be able to get over the first line in the article because of a certain crude word that is used. If this is you, please abandon this post right now. You will miss the point of the article.

2. This article was written for a news organization for real guys... not for some sort of nicey nicey men's ministry magazine.

3. The problem the author points out is pandemic—and sadly Christian men are just as guilty as other men.

4. I have an agenda. The final challenge given by the author is exactly what I hope every happily married man will start doing.

If, after all that, you still insist on reading this article, that's fine. 

But you have been warned.

One last thought: The article is way better than the video, so please read the article first.

Here's the article.

Awesome article! Don't remember how I found your blog, but I love your posts and the challenges it offers me. I'm single, so I figure this is the easier time to learn the lessons God needs to teach me and develop better habits before He brings my future wife along.

This was a great article. As a twenty-something Christian woman, I could only hope the man I marry some day has the same views as this guy. I would be devastated to learn that my husband felt that way about me.

The Disciplemaking Genius of Jesus training experiences 2023

Image
There’s a lot of talk about disciplemaking these days. But what does disciplemaking  really  look like for you in your everyday, real life? That's what we'll explore together. Bring your Bible, some friends, and your sense of humor. What? With a focus on Jesus, we'll explore how to be a disciple—who makes disciples—who make more disciples. Session 1 Be a Disciple (D1) Everything in life will try to pull you off the simplicity of following Jesus together with others. Session 2 Who Makes Disciples (D2) Following Jesus isn’t a subject to be mastered, but an infectious way of life that is lived together and shared with others. Session 3 Who Make More Disciples (D3) If those we disciple don’t make more disciples, then we haven’t made disciples like Jesus. When? 8 AM to 12:30 PM (light lunch included) Where? * Saturday morning, January 28th, 2023, at CrossPoint Church, Morton, IL * Saturday morning, February 4th, Harvest Time Bible Church, Rock Falls, IL * S

What if church looked a little more like this once in a while?

Relax. I'm simply asking the question. I'm not suggesting we do only this.  But what if church looked a little more like this once in a while ? There are over forty one-another commands in the New Testament. (For example: Love one another, pray for one another, encourage one other, bear with one another, forgive one another, greet one another warmly, etc.)  Yet, it is more than possible that a person in America could attend church Sunday after Sunday without ever meaningfully engaging another person—even though there is a planned "greet-your-neighbor" part of the service.  I hope we can all agree on this:  Church should never be the place we go to be alone together.   I have heard some church people say, "Well, in our culture people just want to attend the Sunday church service, hear the pastor preach, and get out the door. We're all busy." I hear you. I get it. But this raises an important philosophical question: If we're
