Thankful During The Storms

ByTim Nolte
It’s easy to be thankful when things are going good, even though I think we forget to be. It’s an even greater challenge to be thankful in the storms of life. If we would only take time to be be thankful, and to show appreciation for others, lifr would look very different I suspect. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. – 1 Thessalonians 5:18 NLT
God Equips

God Equips

ByTim Nolte
I’ve heard it said many times “God equips the called, He doesn’t necessarily call the equipped.”. The statement from my devotions this morning reminded me of that fact. Recently in our small group we talked about the storms we have in life. I wonder if at times God allows these storms in effort to equip us for something more? “God equips” – The Men of the Bible Devotional: Insights from the Warriors, Wimps, and Wise Guys by Compiled by Barbour Staff

A Christian Husband’s Greatest Calling In Marriage

ByTim Nolte
As Christian husband’s I think we easily fail to remember the greatest calling we have in our marriage. We can’t out-love God. Christ loved us so much that he died for us, and that’s the sort of love we are called to have for our wives. For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her – Ephesians 5:25 NLT

Putting Wood On The Fire

ByTim Nolte
Put more wood into the fire by accompanying your partner to his/her favourite place. – Day 1, Refresh Your Marriage In 31 Days I can definitely see that the busyness of life makes it more challenging to keep the “wood fires burning” of marriage. Marriage takes work and especially intentional action to keep plain selfishness at bay. If we would keep our focus on serving in our marriage then love would be more readily felt. I need to plan to be intentional about this each day.
