Best Communication

Paul asked Jesus a phenomenal question. So he, trembling and astonished, said,"Lord, what do You want me to do?" (Acts 9:6). It just struck me that is a phenomenal question for husbands and wives to ask each other. Simply say, "Honey, what do you want me to do?"

Then, Jesus made a phenomenal statement. "I always do the things that are pleasing to Him" John 8:29. How wonderful it would be if each of us could and would say that about our Father. Then it struck me again, wouldn't it be wonderful, if each of us could and would say it about our spouses!  What a blessing and example of Christ and the Church we could be by making this scripture a part of our life.

DON'T MISS THIS
Seriously, this may be one of the most profound thoughts I have ever had about marriage or ANYTHING for that matter. "You, kind sir, the leader in the home, Ask your wife, ' Sweetheart, what are the five most important ways I could please you by giving you my personal attention?' "And you dear lady, ask your husband, ' Honey, what are the five most important ways I could please you by showing you my admiration?'" Each of you, spell it out. Write it down. Now this is real communication and essential for a healthy and happy marriage.

I ask each of to make the above scriptures a part of your life and marriage.  Now take the time to think this through and make a list, of things that really would please you and make you love your husband or wife like you did when you were courting. IT CAN BE DONE and it will work if you will genuinely work at it. 

Additionally, I challenge you to be the husbands and wives we are commanded to be in the Bible (Holy Word of God) and develop a marriage based on God not on our wants and needs.  With our focus on following God and being the best spouse biblically we can be we will all stand out as great witnesses to those around us.

Dear people, life is too short and eternity is too long to neglect each other and miss the joy you should have in your relationship to each other here and the joy God will give you as you "please Him" by doing what you ought to be doing in your marriage. DOESN'T THAT MAKE SENSE? Of course it does. PLEASE give this serious consideration and then DO IT. THEN write me and tell me what you come up with and what you do about it.  info@eastwest.org

Understand your Wife

Did you hear about the man in California who had a Genie appear to him and said, "I will give you one request, tell me what you want." The man said, "Build me a highway to Hawaii so I can just drive there when I want." The Genie said, that is too materialistic, give me another request." The man thought and said, "Women have their weeping spells, get so moody, you just don't understand them. Let me understand women.' The Genie came back and said, "Do you want that to be two lanes or four lanes?"

"If a man thinks for one minute he can understand a woman he has timed it just about right." Have you seen the book entitled, "What men know about women?" You open it and it is totally blank. The way some men act, you would think they wrote the book!

Why do women have their weeping spells? Often it is simply their way of getting attention. Why do some women dress so provocative, so outrageous? They need attention and many, without good morals, will attract the attention of men through provocative dress and behavior.

Here is a good tip
A woman buys a new dress, she models it before her husband and asks , "How do you like it." He just grunts a little and she is crushed. She bought it thinking he will like it and notice her. He blew it. She may never wear it again. I have seen this happen. Here is how you can save a ton of money. When your wife comes out in that blue dress, notice her, rave about how beautiful she looks. Then when she wears another dress, rave about that dress and how beautiful she looks in it. That is all the dresses she will need!

Light up your eyes.   Men ought to go shopping with their wives to buy a dress. I do it. You see, I want to help her pick out a dress that is going to attract my attention, light up my eyes. You need to do the same. It really makes a difference. Doesn't that make sense?

Kind sir
Notice you wife. Give her you precious attention. You provide for her every material need. Here is a much greater need of women and only you can provide this need to make you marriage wonderful. Every thing begins with a decision. Make that decision to make you wife the most attractive women you ever saw.

You are the head of the home, the leader, not driver! You lead the way. Be the man, be the husband God wants you to be to your wife. It matters not how well she responds. Women respond and follow their husbands a thousand times quicker than men respond to their wives. In heaven, you will be so glad you did.

Father, bless Your man and make him the Spiritual leader and lover of his wife that will make a world of difference here and in heaven. In Jesus name.

Why should we go to Heaven

Tonight while filling my car with gas, a fellow next to me was very friendly and we began talking. The conversation led easily for me to ask him if knew for sure he was going to heaven. "Of course I do" he said smilingly. Then I asked, "If you went up to gates of heaven and they asked you, why should we let you into heaven, what would you say." It is amazing how tongue tied people get when asked that.

The devils believe in God
Finally he said, "I believe." When I pointed out the devils believe in God and tremble, he could not tell me what he believed. By now I had that sick feeling in my stomach. I have seen it so many times that people really don't have a clue as to how to go to heaven.

The Evangecube says it all
As I presented the gospel with the cube and told him how the Lord Jesus suffered and died for our sins and rose again, he listened intently and thought it was cute. His finally statement was, "O I believe all of that." My stomach churned even more.

Many will say
"Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!' " Matt. 7:22,23. How terrible, how tragic to wake up to late and find you are lost forever.

A different story
Saturday I present the same gospel with the same cube and a sharp man understood his works and good deeds would not get him into heaven and prayed with me to receive the Lord Jesus and had assurance he was saved.

What is your answer
Why does God forgive us of our sins? ONLY because the Lord Jesus suffered and died for our sins, paid our debt in full and rose again. Until a person understands that and trust what Christ did and not what he does to get him to heaven, he will hear those horrible words, "Depart from me I never knew you."

If you are not sure
You made a "profession" when you were a child maybe but did not really "understand" Matt 13:23, but you do now, why don't you bow your head and tell God you believe on the Lord Jesus as your savior, that He died for your sins so God can forgive you, save you and take you to heaven one day. Write and tell me about it.
