God created husbands with a desire to protect and provide for their wives, and He created wives with a strong desire to have their husbands be open with them. A man wants to truly look over his wife and any children, and a wife wants the husband to be transparent. God's ordained plan for marriage is true oneness.

The twelfth chapter of Romans is a book addressed to see a church transformed, starting first with their minds. This entire chapter give the clues to being transformed. The final few verses of the chapter are a test to determining how transformed our mind truly are before the Lord. Would you take the introspective test, and in the areas you are deficient, ask the Lord to mature and teach you how to get a higher passing grade.

God's Word holds true that those who honour and obey the Lord will be honoured. What is the best way to find hope in the darkness- What is one to do when the griefs of life overwhelm like a storm surge- We must have settled hope.

God is a redeeming God and He wants to redeem all people. Boaz redeems Ruth in a beautiful picture of God's redemption. All of us were under the law, and Jesus rescued us.

As we look at God's creation of man in the Garden of Eden, he was created to work and to conquer and care for the land, as well as his spouse. The wife was created with the great desire to be close to her husband. May the Lord help us to fulfill the roles in marriage the way God created us.

Both Cain and Abel inherited their parent's sinful nature, but they did not have to choose to sin. Cain chose to live for himself, and as a result, rejected God's plan for a Deliverer. Abel chose to follow's God's plan for a Deliverer and was acceptable to the Lord. Your decisions prove whether you are desiring to please God or not.

The local church is made up of those who are imperfect. We all say things, and do things at times that are hurtful -whether intentional or not-, and sometimes even to the point of being vindictive to others. But, during these times of suffering or egregious acts, we show our true colours of whether Jesus Christ is truly our Master and Teacher or not. We show whether we are submitted to God's will or not. The hardest thing for anyone to do is to turn the other cheek, so may you exhibit the true heart of the persecuted, rather than the heart of persecutor.

When we disobey and offend God by our actions, we sin against Him. This sin, just one sin results in God's punishment, but God promises a Deliverer. In the passage, today, learn how Adam's sin transferred to every descendant, but also how God's grace provided a means of escape from God's wrath.

A successful marriage must have love and respect, but the spouses must learn to forgive. God calls believers to forgive, and this also applies to your spouse.

The heart of many people is absorbed with consuming for themselves, rather than aiding those who are in a fix, or in a hurtful position. We are living in a very materialistic world. There is an incessant accumulation of goods, and yet we find greater unhappiness and depression and maladies of character within our society. But, God is looking for a Christian who puts their faith into practice distributes to the necessity of the saints, and is hospitable to strangers.
