HOME (Family, Land, Shelter)

What is God’s plan for the home?

And you must think constantly about these commandments I am giving you today. You must teach them to your children and talk about them when you are at home or out for a walk; at bedtime and the first thing in the morning.

1.Home, a place that our feet may leave, but not our hearts
2.He is the happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home.
3.He that has not rest at home is in the world’s hell.
4.Home is a place where the great are small, and the small are great.
5.Home is not where you live but where they understand you.
6.Home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in.
7.Home is where life makes up its mind. It is there—with fellow family members—we hammer out our convictions on the anvil of relationships. It is there we cultivate the valuable things in life, like attitudes, memories, beliefs, and most of all, character.

Lying, Deceit,Falsehood, Untruth

http://www.blogtalkradio.com/marriage4life1/2014/04/23/man-talk-realmenrealtalk-title-thetonguethatdefiles

                         LYING (Deceit, Falsehood, Untruth)
              Why is God’s judgment against lying so harsh?

Lying is a form of self-deception. Saul thought he had won a great victory over the Amalekites, but God saw it as a great failure because Saul had disobeyed him and then lied to Samuel about the results of the battle. Saul may have thought his lie wouldn’t be detected, or that what he did was not wrong. Saul was deceiving himself.
1.But a slip of the tongue you may never get over.
2. Better the feet slip than the tongue.
3.Birds are entangled by their feet and men by their tongues.
      4. A liar isn’t believed even when he speaks the truth.
      5. A lie is the refuge of weakness. The man of courage is not afraid of the truth.
      6. A lie travels around the world while truth is putting her boots on
      7.He who tells a lie is forced to invent twenty more to maintain it

Just One Step!!

 
Marriage is extremely difficult. Few people in our time prepare themselves adequately for the challenges of marriage – and the result is frequently disastrous. A successful marriage requires not only spiritual preparation (as many in the Church mistakenly believe) but also practical life skills. These skills include the ability to perform domestic duties, to deal with financial responsibilities, to form lasting and healthy relationships, to communicate effectively,to be good parents and have a good prayer life.

http://www.blogtalkradio.com/marriage4life1/2014/03/31/among-pigeons-homelessness-in-america


Roman Barnes lives among the homeless and next to the fortunate, at the edge of hope. Among Pigeons is his journey from rags to revelation. His story exposes dueling societies that share more than they are willing to admit. In a weak economy many people are struggling to remain afloat, just as Roman, and many are one decision from living among pigeons.

He is the author of numerous poems, screenplays and short stories. Hi...s stage play, No Marks Just Memories, performed to sold-out audiences in Japan.
In writing Among Pigeons, Doctor Wood, remembers his childhood treatment of a neighborhood homeless man, dubbed John-the-Bum. He recalls: "We treated him with contempt and hatred and I never looked him in the eye to see his equality with me. I never looked beyond his dirty face or smell to see his heart. I deliberately made every effort to remain far enough as to not touch him. It is clear that decades later, it was he who touched me."
Doctor Wood believes Among Pigeons, will right a wrong, raise awareness about the homeless and lift humanity.
Doctor Wood lives with his wife Vanessa Wood and youngest son Seth in San Marcos, California.

Lust-Why is it so dangerous

http://www.blogtalkradio.com/marriage4life1/2014/04/09/why-is-lust-such-a-dangerous-tendency-craving-passiondesire

Lust can destroy any normal desire. Craving or lusting is more than inappropriate sexual desire. It can be an unnatural or greedy desire for anything (sports, knowledge, possessions, influence over others). In this circumstance, God punished the Israelites for craving good food! Their desire was not wrong; the sin was in allowing that desire to turn into greed. They felt it was their right to have fine food, and they could think of nothing else. When you become preoccupied with something until it affects your perspective on everything else, you have moved from desire to lust.

Love may make the world go ‘round, but disagreements over money can stop even the best relationship and marriage dead in its tracks.Too often, disagreements about money have little to do with money itself and more to do with issues of control, security, self esteem and love.

Resilience is achieved by following one fundamental rule: Your commitment to your relationship and not going over budget must be stronger than your personal history, frame of mind, or the burden of a distressed situation.

A Rare Woman-Interview with Florence Worsham


http://www.blogtalkradio.com/marriage4life1/2014/04/12/a-rare-woman-interview-florence-worsham

Who would have ever thought it? From a young child growing up, Flo always sensed tremendous change would someday take place in her life, but she never knew when. Florence Logan Worsham grew up in Halifax County, Virginia as the youngest among six siblings. Her mother became pregnant nine times but three children died at birth…with Flo still being the youngest. In that respect, she always knew within herself - if you were born on this earth - you have a purpose. What the heck is purpose anyway?
To some, the word lights a fire in their belly because they truly understand what it means to live life with a purpose or calling. Others will cringe at the word... what a silly word, purpose. They doubt that everyone (including themselves) has a purpose or that things really do happen for a reason. in this Broadcast Edition we will be speaking with Florence Worsham A Rare Woman that has a true purpose in Life and that is going somwwhere.

Real Me, Real Talk-Proscrastination

http://www.blogtalkradio.com/marriage4life1/2014/04/18/man-talk-real-men-real-talk-title-procrastination-avoidance-delay-laziness

Procrastination reveals deeper problems
Lazy men are soon poor; hard workers get rich. A wise youth makes hay while the sun shines, but what a shame to see a lad who sleeps away his hour of opportunity.
Often we delay doing jobs that seem large, difficult, boring, or disagreeable. But to continue putting them off shows lack of discipline, poor stewardship of time, and in some cases disobedience to God. Jobs we don’t enjoy require concentration, teamwork, twice as much time, lots of encouragement, and accountability. Remember this when you are tempted to procrastinate.

                               MONEY (Cash, Fortune, Treasure)

                 MONEY DANGERS HOW DO YOU HANDLE IT?
If you want to know what a man is really like, take notice how he acts when he loses money.
Money is dangerous because it deceives us into thinking that wealth is the easiest way to get everything we want. The love of money is sinful because we trust money, rather than God, to solve our problems. Those who pursue its empty promises will one day discover that they have nothing because they are spiritually bankrupt.
