"Men turn this way and that in their search for new

sources of comfort and inspiration, but the enduring

truths are to be found in the Word of God."

ELIZABETH, THE QUEEN MOTHER (1900-2002)

British Queen Consort

Yesterday in my Pastoral Skills & Methods class, we spent over an hour raising awareness of Marital Breakdowns in Australia.

Men we have a job to do. We must be FAITHFUL to "model" Ephesians 5:25-33 (ESV)

Husbands, love your wives, as Christ

loved the church and gave himself up for her,

that he might sanctify her, having cleansed

her by the washing of water with the word,

so that he might present the church to him-

self in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any

such thing, that she might be holy and with-

out blemish. In the same way husbands

should love their wives as their own bodies.

He who loves his wife loves himself. For no

one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes

and cherishes it, just as Christ does the

church, because we are members of his

body. "Therefore a man shall leave his father

and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the

two shall become one flesh." This mystery is

profound, and I am saying that it refers to

Christ and the church. However, let each

one of you love his wife as himself, and let the

wife see that she respects her husband.

Men - we can do this!

Only because...

His Wrath is Satisfied...
