Watching Over Your Own Soul – Judah
Judah is one of the greatest stories of sin and redemption. From his life we can learn much for our own souls. And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh. Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams. And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us…
Honoring Your Parents (Mark 7:6-13)
Jesus confronts the religious leaders of His day for ignoring what God says in order to promote their own traditions. Corban vs. Commandments He uses the practice of Corban to prove His point. God places a high value on honoring ones parents; He even instituted the death penalty for children who cursed their parents. Jesus makes clear that this honor is due our parents until their death and means that we should care for them in their old age. Corban…
Watching Over Your Own Soul – Peter (Part 3)
We pick up where we left off last week: And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him. And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. And there…
Role Reversal (Genesis 3:6, 16; 4:6)
Role reversal The very first sin was a case of marital role reversal. Instead of leading and making the decision Adam followed Eve. Instead of supporting Adam Eve made the decision. Every single marital problem I have ever encountered has had its roots in role reversal. Submission is not the curse, it is the solution Many people have classified God’s instructions to Eve concerning submission as part of the curse; however, God is simply instructing Eve on how to avoid…
Watching Over Your Own Soul – Peter (Part 2)
We continue looking at Peter’s life so that we might better understand our own sin. Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad. But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee. Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be…
Singleness (1 Corinthians 7:6-8, 32-35)
Why study singleness? Most marital problems are personal and spiritual issues that existed in both individuals before they were married. What you struggle with as a single person will explode when you get married. We also have a wrong view of singleness; we believe that there must be something wrong with a person if they are not married. Also, our view of marriage is far more influenced by our culture than Jesus Christ. Everyone who is married was single first;…
Watching Over Your Own Soul – Peter
Peter’s life is filled with much we can learn about our own sinful natures. And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone. But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for…
Common Problems: Money (Matthew 6:24-33)
The problem is not money Financial problems is the number one stated reason for divorce in the United States. However, this simply is not the truth. Financial stress brings out the true character of people, thus leading to marital problems. The money was never the issue; it was simply the catalyst that brought out the real underlying issue. The problem is priorities Financial issues are always issues of priorities. The problem is not that your spouse is spending money on…
Watching Over Your Own Soul – David
We are next going to look at David’s fall into adultery and murder. And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be the LORD, that hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil: for the LORD hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her to him to wife. And when the servants of David were…
