On Marriage and Family
We believers are held to a higher standard. And, remember, man does not set the bar.

“disregards not man but God”
If you stand up for the Truth, expect to be persecuted (ala Jn 15:20 “If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.”). Do NOT take it personally - your persecutors have a problem with God, not you, strictly speaking.

“disregards not man but God”
If you stand up for the Truth, expect to be persecuted (ala Jn 15:20 “If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.”). Do NOT take it personally - your persecutors have a problem with God, not you, strictly speaking.

2Co 12:15
I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more, am I to be loved less?

Gal 4:16
Have I then become your enemy by telling you the truth?

“the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials”
Always remember this! When circumstances seem dire, remember God’s promises to you, personally. “[He] will never leave you nor forsake you” (Heb 13:5).

On Marriage and Family
We believers are held to a higher standard. And, remember, man does not set the bar.

The Responsibility of the Man
A weak, arrogant husband/father will make excuses for himself; but a strong, humble man will always accept God’s wisdom, love, and discipline and apply it to his own life.

Men, Protect Your Family!
Do not allow people from outside of your family infiltrate it. Be vigilant, on guard, ready to ward off the wolves in sheep’s clothing. Remember, attacks often come from where you least expect it! (Psa 55:12-14)

Ps 55:13-14
But it is you, a man, my equal, my companion, my familiar friend. We used to take sweet counsel together; within God’s house we walked in the throng.
