Two Funerals, One Wedding
“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her.”
Ephesians 5:25

Ponder This
Do you know what most marriages need? Two funerals and one wedding—where both husband and wife die to living for themselves and come alive to Jesus Christ.
You see, when a man loves his wife passionately, there’s nothing too precious for that man to give up for his wife, except his relationship to Almighty God.
When there’s that kind of love shown to a woman, I dare say the topic of submission would not be an issue.
Most women don’t mind submitting to the leadership of a man who loves her enough to die for her and shows it by the way he lives for her.
Practice This
Are you married? Then go on a date this week with your spouse. Are you single? Pray that God would prepare you to be the spouse your mate will need.

What is the mission of the Church?
Love Worth Finding's newest book, "A Final Charge to the Church, "is based on the final series of messages Pastor Rogers preached before retiring in 2005. Pastor Rogers wanted to prepare his congregation for the future. In doing so, he provided a biblically sound blueprint that applies to all Christians on topics including unity among believers, standing strong in opposition to the enemy (Satan), the power of the Holy Spirit to change lives, steadfastness in prayer, true worship, faithfulness to God's Word, caring for others, and the kingdom authority given to believers in Jesus Christ. The book is a great read for all believers who want to become better prepared, as the bride of Christ, to be radiant, pure, and faithful to Jesus, the living Word of God.
