FRIDAY — It Begins and Ends with Love and Respect
Big Point: Though a husband may not deserve respect and a wife may not feel any love, contemptuous speech never touches the human spirit in a positive and lasting manner.

Mike and Lisa Shea were at a dark place in their marriage. Mike was even at the point of looking at apartments if they decided to go forward with their discussed separation. He was feeling that there was no one to talk to; no where to turn. Lisa felt much the same way. She was seeing a Christian counselor who advised her to throw her husband out of the house. The counselor explained that it was the only way for her to get the attention of her distant husband. Lisa was hurt and confused by this advice. If the Lord hates divorce, could this possibly be the path for her? No, this turned out to be an alarm. Lisa heard the voice of God loud and clear, “Be still. Stick with it.”

It was only a few days later that Lisa received a book in the mail from a mentor called, Motivating Your Man, God’s Way, co-written by Emerson and Sarah Eggerichs. Instead of Lisa’s throwing Mike out of the house, the book recommended a regimen of respect coming from Lisa. Instead of responding rudely to his taunts, she would only make loving replies. This got Mike’s attention right away. He thought, ‘Hey, what’s going on? Why is she being so nice?’ It was not long after this development that their marriage turned around. One day after he made a rude comment, and Lisa replied in her new way, Mike was convicted to make an apology. It was at this time that they each broke down the walls that were blocking their way to a better marriage.

So what’s so magical about the respectful response of a wife to a husband? Is a wife supposed to just sit there and take it when her husband refuses to communicate in positive ways in a marriage? According to Lisa Shea, “No, a wife does not need to be a doormat.” With a respectful response, Lisa affirms that a wife can be, “a welcome mat. You are a welcome mat to the Word of God and you’re a welcome mat to the power of God and in that truth you are set free.” The Shea’s communication and loving interaction improved through talking, questions and shared ideas. By living Ephesians 5:33 in their marriage, they saved it.

We’ve talked this week about being more respectful and loving toward our spouses. Take time to discuss the following questions with your spouse this week.

• What is the number one way I can show you respect?
• If you feel disrespected in our relationship at times, what behavior could I modify that would make that better?
• What is the number one thing I can do to show you love?
• If you’ve felt unloved in our relationship at times, what actions could I take to improve that aspect?

 

 

If you are not currently married, what four things will you be certain to take into consideration before getting married:

 

1.

2.

3.

4.

 

PRAY … God, what do you want me to know and do?
Spend some time evaluating your relationship. Ask God what He may be leading you towards as a next step in your relationship. What might help save your marriage? What may take your good marriage to a great marriage?

Wednesday: What’s Love Got to Do With It?
Big Point: According to the word of God, love has a lot (or everything) to do with marriage. 

Most people begin dreaming of a perfect mate in their earliest childhood and adolescent years. We fantasize and create the love of our life from what we see in the movies or read in fairy tales. Without intention and proper focus, it’s likely that what we seek does not always align with what God wants for us in a mate. Often, the furthest thing from our mind is how we are to love our mate as God wants us to.

 

What’s love got to do,
got to do with it?
What’s love
but a sweet old
fashioned notion?
What’s love got to do,
got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?
“What’s Love Got to Do with It?”
Tina Turner

 

One of the most commonly read scriptures for weddings is 1 Corinthians13:4-8 which describes the attributes of love (see below). Loving one another is a commandment from God. We are to love one another as we love ourselves.

For women, the need for “love” is amped up a few notches as we read in yesterday’s Bible study with reference to Ephesians 5:33. It makes one wonder why God commanded a man to love his wife. But let’s be real. It is extremely difficult to love someone who isn’t too loveable.

While the Bible makes references that men should love their wives, it also shows the difficulty one can experience by being around a woman who is unhappy and quite frankly, “unlovable.” Yes, love has everything to do with a man pleasing a woman, but it surely makes it a lot easier if a woman shows 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 love (and of course, this applies to men too).

 

READ and THINK…What does the Bible say?
What words does Paul use in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 that show love? How long will love last if we do these things?

1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (New Living Translation)
4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance … 8 but love will last forever!

Answer:

 

What knowledge can we gain from Proverbs 25:24?

Proverbs 25:24
It’s better to live alone in the corner of an attic than with a quarrelsome wife in a lovely home.

Answer:

 

Proverbs 31 describes the “virtuous woman.” Verses 11 and 12 describe how the husband feels about her but what must that woman be doing? What does verse 30 say about beauty and charm? How can a woman receive praise?

Proverbs 31:10-12, 30-31 (New Living Translation)
10 Who can find a virtuous and capable wife? She is more precious than rubies. 11 Her husband can trust her, and she will greatly enrich his life. 12 She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life …

30Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the LORD will be greatly praised. 31 Reward her for all she has done. Let her deeds publicly declare her praise.

Answer:

 

LIVE …What will you do now?
In terms of love, where are you in your relationship with your spouse, yourself, with God and others?

 

Would you say that 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 describes you? If not, what attributes do you need to work on to improve your lovability?

 

For the husbands: List out the specific ways you show love toward your wife. Show this list to your wife and see if she agrees. If she does not agree, list what areas you can improve on and write out an action plan on how you can show love on a daily basis.

 

For the wives: Would your spouse describe you as quarrelsome (as described in Proverbs 25:24) or would he describe you as virtuous (as described in Proverbs 31:10-31)? Have your husband describe what virtuous qualities you have and what quarrelsome qualities you have. Then make an action plan on how you can become more virtuous.

Quarrelsome:

Virtuous:

 

PRAY…God, what do you want me to know and do?
Ask God to help you become more loving and to truly live out 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 in your daily life in order to fight for your marriage. Find ways to shower your spouse and others with love.

These days, when you hear of a fight breaking out as it relates to one’s marriage, you likely think the worst. Why wouldn’t you? Approximately 50% of all marriages in America end in divorce. Most television and movies portray marriages in disarray, fighting over petty things and damaging families. Our court system keeps a steady stream of cases trying to juggle the many complaints for divorce that come through their doors. Sadly, some divorcees think that the issue was solely their spouse and simply turn around and get remarried. That’s where we see an even steeper downward cycle because 60% of second marriages and 74% of third marriages end in divorce.

What gives? Think about it. How easy is it for someone to get married? You don’t have to pass any tests, take any classes, abide by any specific mandated guidelines or principles. We just simply say I love him, he loves me … I love her, she loves me, we’ll make a perfect family—let’s get married. Getting married is one of the easiest things to do. It’s much more challenging to get a driver’s license than it is to get a marriage license. You may say “well, yes, people are more likely to get in an accident and lose a life so they need to learn to drive.” We contend that there is much more lasting damage caused by people not taking the time to learn what it takes to stay in a loving marriage and to take the time to fight for their marriage.

 

“Ask Not what Your Spouse Can do for You
But what You Can do For Your Spouse”
Matthew Ziegler
(paraphrased John F. Kennedy quote)

 

This weekend we heard from Tim Butler on how we should fight for our marriage. Tim mentioned that “It’s likely God intended two very different people to be tethered together for life as a very good thing. It is those differences that will shape us (or maybe grind us) into who God wants us to be. God wants us Holy, like Him. If we keep Him in the center of our marriage, all those differences will make us Holy.” Instead of keeping God in the center of our marriage, most keep the world’s standard in the center of their marriage by asking “what about me?” It’s likely Christ’s standard for marriage would reconcile with a very familiar John F. Kennedy quote, paraphrased for marriages that would read, “Ask not what your spouse can do for you but what you can do for your spouse.” Tim said, “Marriage is less about finding the right person and more about being the right person.”

It seems other well renowned authorities agree and have written books about the subject, like Andy Stanley who wrote Staying in Love and Emerson Eggerichs, author of Love and Respect. This week, we will spend time reviewing what fighting for our marriage means by being the kind of partner a spouse would want to be married to in times of conflict, in how we generally treat one another, and how we take care of our own needs. This study will not only help those that are married but also those who may contemplate marriage. So, be unusual, fight for your marriage!

 

MONDAY — Who’s Right? Who’s Wrong?
Big Point: Sometimes tension in a marriage cannot be solved – although an opportunity presents itself in the way it is managed.

It is not a surprise to find out that men and women view many things in this world differently. In these differences, God created something beautiful—His final creation when two become one flesh. Marriage is the final masterpiece of God’s creation. The “becoming one” is what God did in Genesis 2.The very next thing that happens is the attack of the serpent dividing the man and the woman and causing them to rebel against God. Without God in the center of our marriages, our differences will grow; separating us and bringing rebellion towards one another. Distinguishing who is right or who is wrong fuels the idea of separation and rebellion. Most times it’s not about who is right or who is wrong. Rather, it’s about how we handle our differences and the growth opportunities that follow. Managing our differences (which sometimes results in persistent tension) can lead to extraordinary results.

 

Choosing not to forgive is like drinking poison and hoping the other person gets sick.

 

Forgiveness is the most important component in any lasting relationship. Sin, selfishness and the lack of forgiveness will devastate any marriage. The power, freedom and blessing in forgiveness are the greatest tools we have to fight for our marriage. Forgiveness is the model God has given us to live by. Forgiving one another is being obedient to God’s design. That obedience is promised to produce great blessings in our lives. The alternative to forgiveness is holding onto resentment—that’s like drinking poison and hoping the other person gets sick. It is just not a logical way to live. When we follow God’s example, life works out the way God says it will. The tension is the differences God created in the way we view love, respect and many other things in life. The opportunity is allowing God’s grace and forgiveness to use those differences to make His final creation, a whole you.

 

READ and THINK…What does the Bible say?
What does Romans 12:18 encourage us to do?

Romans 12:18 (New International Version)
If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

Answer:

 

Why is it important not to hold resentment towards your spouse? After reading the following verses, how quickly does God want you to resolve conflict in your life? Why do you think God wants no time wasted?

Matthew 5:23-24 (New Living Translation)
23 “So if you are presenting a sacrifice at the altar in the Temple and you suddenly remember that someone has something against you, 24 leave your sacrifice there at the altar. Go and be reconciled to that person. Then come and offer your sacrifice to God.

Answer:

 

How does God describe a man being alone in Genesis 2:18? Also, knowing the differences we see daily between a man and a woman, how does God describe His creation?

Genesis 2:18 (New Living Translation)
Then the LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him.”

Answer:

 

LIVE…What will you do now?
Pastor Greg Laurie jokingly once said, “Marriage is like a three ring circus: “engagement ring, wedding ring and suffering.” Perhaps the suffering is the sacrifice spouses must endure to understand how God wants them to work through their differences. If married, do you view your differences as ways that God can bring you closer together?

 

Putting God at the center of our marriage brings a forgiving heart and an understanding and celebration of our differences. Can you think of an instance where your first reaction was to get defensive and then later realized you would have not gained insight and wisdom into your mate’s way of thinking if not for that emotion?

 

Look for the longing in your spouse’s complaint to work through your differences.

 

Tension and conflict are different. Sometimes tension in marriages and in relationships with others just needs to be managed. Conflict needs to be resolved. Write out the tensions that exist in your marriage that simply need to be managed. Then write out the conflicts that must be resolved.

Tensions:

Conflicts:

 

How can you begin to soften your heart so that God can mold it into the heart He has made for you?

 

Write your mate a note thanking him/her for your differences.

 

PRAY…God, what do you want me to know and do?
Ask God to help you fit the puzzle pieces of your differences together to make two into one. It starts with you and the first step is to come to Christ with humility.

FRIDAY — How will you Fight for your Faith?
Big Point: Devise a plan to fight for your faith and allow God to do the rest! 

Be honest, when you heard the title “Fight for your Faith,” did you think “okay, let’s put on the full armor of God, go out and fight the good fight. Let’s tell everyone about who God is and slash through the devil’s lies and schemes.” While it is that, we learned this week that we must learn from Christ on what he did to prepare to fight for his faith. Christ breathed God in and taught us what it is like to know God. There is a certain peace about Christ that we should all want to strive for. Christ only had this type of peace by spending an inordinate amount of time with God.

How do we mere mortals gain this peace? How do we gain a strategy to fight in a world and a culture that begs for our attention to do anything but fight for our faith? We learn the same tried and true principles that Christ taught us long ago. It all starts with gazing upon the stars, as Kyle ever so eloquently encouraged us to do in his weekend message.

So now how do you feel? You can be sure of this—your faith will grow when it is challenged. Prayerfully, as you begin to spend time with God and know who Christ is, you will be prepared to take on the challenge. But what comes up, at times, is fear. One anonymous author has this to say about “faith”:

• Faith gives life to the invisible, impossible, and improbable.
• Faith transforms the ‘could happen’ into the ‘did happen’.
• Faith changes your possibilities into realities.
• Faith empowers you to find a way or make a way.
• Faith propels your pursuits, but fear paralyzes your passion.
• Faith ignites your imagination, but fear immobilizes your initiative.
• Faith causes you to fight, but fear causes you to falter.
• Faith frees your mind to focus on fantastic feats instead of futility and failure.

If you are feeling a bit of a challenge as it relates to fighting for your faith, you won’t want to miss the teaching topic on “Fighting Your Fear.” But before we close out this week, let’s take some time to devise a plan on how you will effectively fight for your faith.

 

LIVE…What will you do now?
What did you learn this week that you had not thought about before as it relates to what it takes to fight for your faith?

 

 

How equipped do you feel to clearly articulate the vastness of God to someone? If you are struggling and want to learn more about God and the cosmos, consider taking a field trip this summer to the Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky, just seven miles outside Cincinnati—www.creationmuseum.org. Or, simply go to www.youtube.com and watch the videos on the “Created Cosmos.”

 

 

Where and when do you feel the most challenged to share your faith?

 

 

How compelled are you to fight for your faith while simply living in your own community and our country as a whole?

 

 

After learning all that you learned this week, write out the five steps that you will to take to fight for your faith—take time to review the past few days:

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

 

PRAY…God, what do you want me to know and do?
Thank God for who He is and for helping you devise a strategy to fight for your faith. Ask Him to help you live out your strategy every single day!

Wednesday: Charge up Your Faith
Big Point: Stay plugged into God so that your faith is constantly charged.

It’s happened! You come to a slow roll in your car, and watch as the red light comes on and then fade out. Over and over you try to turn the engine, maybe winking at God, asking “please, please, please!” Then, nothing. The battery on your car is dead. When a car battery dies, it is worthless, and its death makes your car worthless. Car batteries don’t simply recharge if you let them sit awhile; it’s not automatic. In the same way, your faith can die, or fizzle out, if you don’t recharge it. We need to plug into God and boost our faith.

Many times in our lives we will be faced with struggles. It may be that: your car never seems to be at 100%; your marriage lacks a once held passion; your school work is never done; your finances are a wreck; you can’t find a job; or your depression makes it hard to get out of bed. Pick one or check them all at any given time, but if we hope to overcome these battles and others, our faith must be fully charged. Peter had strong and sure faith when he concentrated on Jesus. However, when the wind blew, he stopped focusing on his faith in Jesus and sank.

We are like Peter. We need to stay zeroed in on God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit in order to maintain the battery life of our faith charge. Although you may be surrounded by raging waves, hold onto what God has promised. When you fear the battle, plug into God and strengthen your assurance that He is there to hold you up, protect you and fight with you!

 

²⁸ Then Peter called to him, “Lord, if it’s really you, tell me to come to you, walking on the water.” ²⁹ “Yes, come,” Jesus said. So Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus. ³⁰ But when he saw the strong wind and the waves, he was terrified and began to sink. “Save me, Lord!” he shouted.
Matthew 14:28-30 (NLT)

 

Read and Think…Find Answers in the Bible
Often we are wading through difficult struggles, and it can feel as though God isn’t there. We cannot see Him and are uncertain of His plans for us. Read Hebrews 11:1. What does it say about faith? If you plug into God, what does He charge your faith with?

Hebrews 11:1 (New Living Translation)
Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.

Answer:

 

Many people wade through the Bible thinking, “When I know everything and understand it all, then I will have the strongest faith. Then, I will be able to _________.” Fill in the blank. Read 1 Corinthians 13:2. What does it say is truly necessary to make your faith, biblical knowledge and actions worthwhile?

1 Corinthians 13:2 (New Living Translation)
If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing.

Answer:

 

When we are fully charged and our faith is strong, it can act as protection in the fight. Read Ephesians 6:16. What description does it give of faith? Against who can this protection defend?

Ephesians 6:16 (New Living Translation)
In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil.

Answer:

 

Live…What will you do now?
We often try to lean on our own understanding, instead of placing our trust in God. Maybe you try to recharge yourself with energy drinks or self-help books. You might even have some pride in your ability to maintain a stoic presence in the face of adversity. But, when we draw only from ourselves and societal charge-ups, we quickly run out of perseverance. We tire and start to feel hopeless or defeated. God’s cup of love is never-ending and He offers it to us. All we have to do is come before Him and fill up.

 

Have you ever felt your faith fizzle out? Describe it.

 

In the words of Tina Turner, “What’s love got to do with it?” Well, apparently to God, love has everything to do with faith. Describe how deep your love is for others.

 

Is it time to recharge your faith and establish a perpetual plug into God so that you remain charged? What will you do to charge your faith? Make a plan. Write down three things you could try to charge up daily (we will explore one possibility tomorrow).

 

1.

2.

3.

 

PRAY…God, What do you want me to know and do?
God is the master battery, the energy source that never dies. Ask Him to fill you up and spark the flame inside of you that will fire you up to fight for your faith. Ask Him to help strengthen your faith and show you how to keep it charged.
