From Rejoice Marriage Ministries Here is some thing uplifting for standers. Ever wondered what the other person is feeling while we are waiting for God to bring them home? Here is a testimony from Bob who left his wife and after 2 years he came back, this is what he felt and went threw. The Prodigal's Guilt And Shame David was conscience-stricken after he had counted the fighting men, and he said to the Lord, "I have sinned greatly in what I have done. Now, O Lord, I beg you, take away the guilt of your servant. I have done a very foolish thing." 2 Samuel 24:10 Many of the questions Charlyne and I receive are about the process of marriage restoration. Standers have trouble understanding what has happened when a prodigal spouse makes...

Philippians~4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Proverbs~ 3:7 Be not wise in thine own eyes; fear the Lord, and depart from evil.

1st Corinthians~2:5 So that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power

Ephesions~3:20 God can do aboundantly more than you can imagine.

We spent so much time trying to be like Christ that we forget the whole purpose of our being. We see that Christ reacted a certain way, so we pattern ourselves in the same manner. We saw that Christ said this or that, so we say the same things that He says. We put so much energy in copying Jesus that we tend to miss the whole point of our existence. So what am I saying? I'm saying, that if we focus on Jesus rather than copying Him, we accomplish our goal of being Christlike. Jesus dose not want us to act like HIm. He wants us to BE like HIm. When we copy Jesus, we are simply acting like Him. But, if we fall in Love with HIm and focus totally on Him, then we,in a since, become Him. Then we are actually BEING like Him.

Greetings. Recent events have revealed, in simplistic and generalized terms, that governments, corporations, and internet providers throughout the world want to spy on every single thing you do.

But there was a certain man named Ananias who, with his wife, Sapphira, sold some property. 2He brought part of the money to the apostles, claiming it was the full amount. With his wife's consent, he kept the rest. 3Then Peter said, "Ananias, why have you let Satan fill your heart? You lied to the Holy Spirit, and you kept some of the money for yourself. 4The property was yours to sell or not sell, as you wished. And after selling it, the money was also yours to give away. How could you do a thing like this? You weren't lying to us but to God!" 5As soon as Ananias heard these words, he fell to the floor and died. Everyone who heard about it was terrified. 6Then some young men got up, wrapped him in a sheet, and took him out and buried...

3 Things I Wish I Knew Before We Got Married Tyler Ward By Tyler Ward January 23, 2013 Tyler lives in Nashville, where he creates and consults web-centric businesses. He writes to rebrand life within the heart, the home and the workplace. I used to think I had my stuff together. Then I got married. Marriage is great—but it rocked everything I knew. I quickly realized my basic goal in life, prior to getting married, was to simply remain undisturbed. This “disruption†came suddenly and was disguised as a 5-foot-nothing Swedish-Filipino woman. When I decided I’d rather not live without her, I proceeded to ask her to marry me—that is, to officially invite someone who wasn’t me to be in my personal space for the rest...
