The greatest tragedy in life is not death, but a life without a
purpose.


“ Solid character will reflect itself in consistent behaviour, while
poor character will seek to hide behind deceptive words and
actions.

“ People generally fall into one of three groups: the few who make
things happen, the many who watch things happen, and the
overwhelming majority who have no notion of what happens.
Every person is either a creator of fact or a creature of
circumstance. He either puts color into his environment, or,
a chameleon, takes color from his environment.


“ Healthy relationships should always begin at the spiritual and
intellectual levels - the levels of purpose, motivation, interests,
dreams,and personality.


“ It is the same way with dating. The time you are most prepared
for dating is when you don't need anyone to complete you, fulfill
you, or instill in you a sense of worth or purpose.


“ When purpose is not known, abuse is inevitable


“ Friendship is not a gift, but is the result of hard work.


“ One of the greatest tragedies in life is to watch potential die
untapped.


“ You must decide if you are going to rob the world or bless it
with the rich, valuable, potent, untapped resources locked away
within you.


“ We are a sum total of what we have learned from all who have
taught us, both great and small.


“ Being open to correction means making ourselves vulnerable,
and many people are not willing to do that.


“ ...success is not a comparison of what we have done with what
others have done.


“ A woman may be beautiful but have poor character. A man may
be a business genius, making money left and right, but lack
common courtesy, sensitivity, and compassion.


“ A wedding is and event, but marriage is a life.

“ When certain parts of our bodies are touched, certain enzymes
and chemicals that trigger sexual desire are released into our
system. The more our bodies are stimulated, the more chemicals
are released and the greater our sexual desire grows until it
becomes a virtually unstoppable flood.

“ Junk is in the eyes of the beholder. Some look, but others see.

“ Here are a few important principles to remember with regard to
the giving and receiving between males and females. When a
male demands, a female reacts; she doesn’t respond. When a
male gives, a female responds. When a male commits, a female
submits. Nothing is more precious to a female than a committed
male. Nothing is no more depressing to a female than an
uncommitted male. Here’s the secret, guys: If you want a
submitted female, be a committed male. It’s that simple. When a
male abuses, a female refuses. Whenever a man abuses a
woman, she refuses to respond. When a male shares, a female
cares. If you find a man who is willing to share with the woman
in his life, you will find a woman who is willing to care for her
man. When a male leads, a female follows. When a man carries
out his God-given responsibility for leadership, a woman
responds by following his lead. Leadership does not mean being
bossy, always telling others what to do. No, leadership means
going ahead, not putting others in the front. Good leaders lead by
example, not by decree. Jesus led by example, and so did Moses,
Peter, Paul, and all the other great leaders in the Bible. Leading
by example means doing ourselves the things we wish others to
do.

like
“ God did not create woman from man’s head, that he should
command her, nor from his feet, that she should be his slave, but
rather from his side, that she should be near his heart.

like
“ God’s will and desire—His pleasure—is that we love Him. We
cannot please God unless we love Him. We cannot love Him
unless we know Him, and we cannot know Him unless we have
faith in Him.

“ A promise is a commitment to do something later, and a vow is a
binding commitment to begin doing something now and to

“ Don’t ever make the mistake of telling God that you have

“ Marriage is two imperfect people committing themselves to a
perfect institution, by making perfect vows from imperfect lips

“ The first basic need of a male is sexual fulfillment; for a female,
affection. The second most basic need of a male is recreational
companionship; for a female, communication and conversation.
The third basic need of a male in a relationship is an attractive
woman; for a woman, honesty and openness. The fourth basic
need of a male is domestic support; for a female, financial
support. The fifth basic need of a male is admiration and respect;
for a woman, family commitment.

“ When trying to communicate with each other, a husband and

“ God’s love sets us free from the need to seek approval. Knowing
that we are loved by God, accepted by God, approved by God,
and that we are new creations in Christ empowers us to reject
self-rejection and embrace a healthy self-love. Being secure in
God’s love for us, our love for Him, and our love for ourselves,
prepares us to fulfill the second greatest commandment: To love
our neighbor as ourselves.

“ A man leads with his mind while a woman leads with her heart.
like
like
“ When we evaluate the rightness or wrongness of actions or
behavior, we need to ask ourselves if that behavior will edify—
build up—ourselves or someone else, or if it will tear down. The
question is not what we can get away with, but what is healthy
and edifying. When it is all said and done, are we edified
spiritually? Have we been built up and strengthened in our
relationship with the Lord or with our spouse, or have we been
weakened? Do we come away encouraged or discouraged,
confident or filled with a sense of guilt or shame? Is our
conscience clean?
like
like
“ Marital faithfulness involves more than just sexual fidelity.
Being faithful to your wife also means defending her and
affirming her beauty, intelligence, and integrity at all times,
particularly before other people. Faithfulness to your husband
means sticking up for him, always building him up and never
tearing him down. Marital fidelity means that your spouse’s
health, happiness, security, and welfare take a higher place in
your life than anything else except your own relationship with
the Lord.
like
“ God is the source and giver of our prosperity: “But remember the
Lord your God, for it is He who gives you the ability to produce

“ I’m washed, I’m forgiven, I’m whole, and I’m healed. I’m
cleansed and I’m glory bound. I am only a sojourner on the
earth. I am but a pilgrim on this planet, on my way to perfection,
and I don’t need anybody to tell me who I am, because I know
who I am. I am a child of the King, a son (or daughter) of God,
born again through Jesus Christ, bought with the price of His
blood. I am a new creation, totally new, thoroughly loved and
completely accepted as a child of my Father, precious in His
sight.

“ Submission is the willingness to give up our right to ourselves,
to freely surrender our insistence on having our own way all the
time.
like
like
“ Within the overall context of loving his wife, a husband’s first
and primary role is to be the spiritual head and covering and
teacher in the home. Through his words, lifestyle, and personal
behavior the husband should teach the Word, the will, and the
ways of the Lord to his wife and children.
like
like
“ Submission means that a wife acknowledges her husband’s
headship as spiritual leader and guide for the family. It has
nothing whatsoever to do with her denying or suppressing her
will, her spirit, her intellect, her gifts, or her personality. To
submit means to recognize, affirm, and support her husband’s
God-given responsibility of overall family leadership. Biblical
submission of a wife to her husband is a submission of position,
not personhood. It is the free and willing subordination of an
equal to an equal for the sake of order, stability, and obedience
to God’s design. As a man, a husband will fulfill his destiny and
his manhood as he exercises his headship in prayerful and
humble submission to Christ and gives himself in sacrificial
love to his wife. As a woman, a wife will realize her womanhood
as she submits to her husband in honor of the Lord, receiving his
love and accepting his leadership. When a proper relationship of
mutual submission is present and active, a wife will be released
and empowered to become the woman God always intended her
to be.
like
like
“ Every conscientious husband and wife should measure their
marriage by the unchanging standard of the principles found in
God’s Word.
like
like
“ For a woman, language spoken is an expression of what she is
feeling. For a man, language spoken is an expression of what he
is thinking. A woman says what is on her heart while a man says
what is on his mind.
like
like
“ We will never obtain God’s kind of marriage simply by going
along with the crowd, doing what everybody else does. We have
to dig deep into the heart of God to discover His principles.
like
like
“ Any time we base our self-image on how we feel, we will run
into problems because our feelings change. As long as we feel
good, our self-image is good. When we begin to feel bad,
however, our self-image plummets. We need to anchor our self-
image on something that does not change. Where do we find it?
When we become believers, we become new creations in Christ,
recreated in His image. The image of Christ in us will never
change. Although our outward appearance will change over time,
Christ’s image in us will stay the same. Like His image, Christ’s
attitude toward us also will never change. No matter how good
or bad we may feel, no matter how up or down we may be, Christ
loves us, accepts us, and thinks the world of us. His opinion of us
is the only opinion that matters. We should base our self-image
on what He thinks about us, not on what others think, or even on
what we think about ourselves.
like
like
“ The husband provides direction; the wife, maintenance.
like
like
“ Communication is the ability to ensure that people understand
not only what you say but also what you mean. It is also the
ability to listen to and understand others. Developing both of
these aspects of communication takes a lot of time, patience, and
hard work.
like
like
“ Humility is simply believing and accepting what God says about
us, and God says that we are anything but worthless.
like
like
“ We should always keep our behavior or performance separate
from our sense of self-worth.
like
like
“ All married couples should examine themselves periodically and
ask, “What have we done with the resources God has given us?
How are we handling His blessings? Are we spending our money
wisely? Have we progressed over the past year? Are we moving
in the direction God wants us to go? Are we obeying His will? Is
He pleased with our management? What does He want us to do
next?” These are important questions for growing in
stewardship.
like
like
“ It is not enough just to know who we love; we need to know
what we love. We need to know why we love the person we love.
This is critically important for building a happy and successful
marriage.
like
like
“ Satisfied needs produce fulfilled people, and fulfilled people are
free to pursue and exercise their full potential as human beings.
The primary goal, then, in any relationship should be the
meeting of needs. We should not concentrate so much on
meeting our own needs, but those of the other person in the
relationship. A good test for the health of a relationship is to ask
ourselves periodically whose needs we are meeting, ours or
theirs? If we are focusing on our needs, the relationship is in
trouble. In successful, healthy relationships, both parties put a
priority on meeting the needs of the other.
like
like
“ The adversary’s global attack on marriage is actually an attack
on society itself, and ultimately an attack on God, the creator
and manufacturer of society and marriage. The adversary knows
that if he can destroy marriage he can destroy families; if he can
destroy families he can destroy society; and if he can destroy
society he can destroy humanity.
like
like
“ is chosen freely, not imposed from without. Essentially,
submission is the willingness to give up our right to ourselves, to
freely surrender our insistence on having our own way all the
time. Submission means putting the needs, rights, and welfare of
another person ahead of our own. A marriage built on this kind
of submission will grow healthy, strong, and fulfilling.
like
like
“ If we hope to become effective and successful in life, ministry,
and especially marriage, we have to learn to be good managers.
Stewardship means being accountable to God for every resource
under our care. Effective managers do more than simply keep
things running; they add value to everything they have
responsibility over. Under a good manager, resources will
appreciate in value.
like
like
“ One of the great truths of the Bible is that whenever God gets
ready to do anything in the earth, He always works through a
person or a group of people whom He has called and who have
willingly responded to Him. The human factor is key for God’s
activity on the earth. When God prepared to deliver the Israelites
from Egypt, He called Moses. When He got ready to rescue His
people from the Midianites, He called Gideon. When God
wanted to warn His disobedient people of His judgment and call
them back to Him, He called Elijah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Amos, and
the other prophets. When God was ready to send His Son into the
world, He chose Mary, a humble peasant girl, to be His mother.
When Jesus Christ prepared to send His message of salvation
throughout the world, He called and anointed men and women—
His Church—and commissioned them for the mission. This
illustrates an incredible principle under which God operates:
Without God we cannot, and without us God will not. For
everything that God desires to do in the earth, He enters into
partnership with those to whom He has already given dominion.
like
like
“ Where training and discipline are concerned, short-term pain
means long-term gain. It may break our heart to inflict the pain
of discipline on our children and to see their tears, but the long-
term goal of preparing them to live responsibly as adults
justifies the short-term pain of disciplining them while they are
young.
like
like
“ Be fruitful. God’s command in Genesis 1:28 is most often
understood as referring to procreation, but filling the earth with
people is only part of the meaning. The Hebrew word for fruitful
means more than just sexual reproduction; it refers to being
fruitful in either a literal or a figurative sense. Fruitfulness can
be qualitative in nature as well as quantitative. Mankind has
never had a problem being procreative—a current global
population of over six billion is proof of that—but we do have a
problem with being fruitful in the other ways God desires.
Essentially, being fruitful means releasing our potential. Fruit is
an end product. An apple tree may provide cool shade and be
beautiful to look at, but until it produces apples it has not
fulfilled its ultimate purpose. Apples contain the seeds of future
apple trees and, therefore, future apples. However, apples also
have something else to offer: a sweet and nourishing food to
satisfy human physical hunger. In this sense, fruit has a greater
purpose than simply reproducing; fruit exists to bless the world.
Every person is born with a seed of greatness. God never tells us
to go find seed; it is already within us. Inside each of us is the
seed potential for a full forest—a bumper crop of fruit with
which to bless the world. We each were endowed at birth with a
unique gift, something we were born to do or become that no one
else can achieve the way we can. God’s purpose is that we bear
abundant fruit and release the blessings of our gift and potential
to the world.
