Genesis 2:18 “Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.”

I know men who love to quote Ephesians 5:22-24 to people about their wives submitting to them. PRO TIP: You need to be a man of God to be respected as a man of God. But today’s article is about the role and responsibility that God gave Adam…not Eve.

James 1:19 “Wherefore my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.”

I suddenly regretted the words that had just left my mouth. My wife and I had just been in a bitter argument and I; being the broken man that I am, had to get the last word in. Most of us have been in this situation a time or two in the past, and as men, we tend to lean towards a win/lose way of thinking.

Colossians 3:14: “And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.”

I heard a story of a pastor who boarded an airplane and was sitting behind a young married couple. During the flight, they purchased a movie to watch together.

Dear Jack,

My wife and I have some decisions to make, and we seem to be on separate pages about what to do. I know I can give in and let her win, but sometimes I get tired of not getting my way. I thought I should see what you had to say about it.

Please help,
Confused in Colorado

With the farm full of four young children, 2 Golden Retrievers, 20 chickens, and 1 guinea pig, there is very little time in the week for yourself. Not complaining, just explaining; life is FULL.

I don’t know about you, but I try way too hard to be perfect in everything I do. It can be so stressful trying to cook the perfect meal, pray the perfect prayer, or write the perfect article. Then, I realize I am depending too much on the broken man God is renewing day by day, instead of the man He is helping me to become.
