Just a reminder that the next 2  Wednesday nights, November 7 and November14 John Lepper  will continue  to give us insight and wisdom on how to handle crisis in our lives as well as to just care better for others.  We will begin at 6:30pm at Phos Church.  Hope you will plan on attending. If you are considering being a part of the new Care team that is forming, please try to attend both of these sessions.   We are excited to have John lead us in this new venture.

5 "Aha" Marriage Tips You Need to Know: Part 5   

#5 - Admitting my own imperfections does not mean that I am a failure. 


Most troubled marriages include a stone wall between husband and wife, built over the years. Each stone represents an event in the past where one of them has failed the other. These are things about which people talk when they sit in the counseling office.

The husband complains, "She has always been critical of everything I do.  I've never been able to please her." The wife complains, "He's married to his job. He has no time for me or the children. I feel like a widow." This wall of hurt and disappointment stands as a barrier to marital unity. 

Demolishing this emotional wall is essential for rebuilding a troubled marriage. Admitting your part in building this wall, does not make you a failure. It means that you are human and are willing to admit your humanity. Confessing past failures is the first step toward a growing marriage.

3 Primary Growth Catalysts for Christ Followers … from Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life by Donald S. Whitney

God uses three primary catalysts for changing us and conforming us to Christlikeness, but only one is largely under our control.  One catalyst the Lord uses to change us is people.  "As iron sharpens iron so one man sharpens another" [Proverbs 27:17].  Sometimes God uses our friends to sharpen us into more Christlike living, and sometimes He uses our enemies to file away our rough, ungodly edges.  Parents, children, spouses, coworkers, customers, teachers, neighbors, pastors--God changes us through these people.

Another change agent God uses in our lives is circumstances.  The classic text for this is Romans 8:28:  "We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."  Financial pressures, physical conditions, even the weather are used in the hands of the Divine Providence to stimulate His elect toward holiness.

Then there is the catalyst of the Spiritual Disciplines.  This catalyst differs from the first two in that when He uses the Disciplines, God works from the inside out.  When He changes us through people and cirumstances, the process works from the outside in.  The Spiritual Disciplines also differ from the other two methods of change in that God grants us a measure of choice regarding involvement with them.  We often have little choice regarding the people and circumstances God brings into our lives, but we can decide, for example, whether we will read the Bible or fast today.  

Page 17 of "Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian LIfe" by Donald S. Whitney

I hope this finds many of my Phos friends finishing up their journey with ENGAGE using the S.O.A.P. Guidebooks -- you still have about 10 days to finish up!!  Invest in your relationship with God today.  Choose to read your Bible and pray today!

peace,
jeff
