Husband, The on SermonAudio

Where does one begin when they consider their problems? In this sermon, "The Lord is my Light" from Psalm 27:1–14, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones tells that most often people begin with their problems and then move toward the Lord. However, Christians ought to follow the psalmist's example and begin with God and heaven, then move to their problems in light of those things. When they pray, they ought not begin with petitions, but begin with praise and adoration of the Lord, gazing on His beauty and excellence. Why? Dr. Lloyd-Jones unfolds through this psalm that God's unchanging character, His goodness, and excellence changes the perspective. Nothing is so big and so awful when it is looked at in regard to who the Lord is. Then the Christian must make their requests known to the Lord, having full confidence that He is greater than any problem and fully capable of ruling over them.

The sinner thinks God is like a human. They believes God will simply forget their sin. They assume God will forget it and not deal with it. But does God overlook sin? Is He not the solemn judge of the heavens and earth? The atheist outright rejects this God and their life is lived accordingly with no contradiction. The atheist believes there is no God and their actions mirror those beliefs. In this sermon on Psalm 50:1–23 titled "Dead Religion," Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones sets forth to express how there is a human worse than the atheist: they claim to believe in God yet lives their life as if there is no God. Exploring Psalm 50:1–23, Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains that this person believes that God is like themselves. They believe that God will not deal with sin and they ignore God's wrath. They deny God's judgement, assuming there is no hell. They minimize their own sin. This error is not simply doctrinal deficiency, but they have made a god in their own image. On the contrary, God wants people to know who He truly is. Listen as Dr. Lloyd-Jones calls the hearer to rightly know God and see His salvation so that Christians may live lives praising and glorifying His name.

DAY 3 — LOVE IS NOT SELFISH. [LOVE ASKS "WHAT CAN I GIVE?" NOT "WHAT CAN I GET?"] ROMANS 12:10 KJV Selfishness puts "me" first. Biblical love puts the other person before self. A Christ-centered marriage grows stronger when both husband and wife stop asking, "What am I getting?" and begin asking, "What am I giving?" Selfishness asks: "WHAT ABOUT ME?" Love asks: "WHAT DO YOU NEED?" Selfishness keeps score. LOVE TEARS UP THE SCORECARD. Selfishness demands to be served. LOVE LOOKS FOR WAYS TO SERVE. Selfishness waits for the other person to change. LOVE GOES FIRST. Before criticizing your spouse's selfishness today, ask God to show you your own. And then ask one simple question: "WHAT CAN I GIVE TODAY INSTEAD OF WHAT CAN I GET?" That's the kind of love Jesus demonstrated toward us. And that's the kind of love that can transform a marriage.

3:24 Could you explain what Gog and Magog are? 7:07 Are we living in the Millennium when Satan is let out to deceive the nations? 11:55 Is Jesus lesser than the Father since Jesus was given all authority from the Father? 22:13 What does Jesus mean in John 14:16 that he is going to send a helper? 28:13 Do the martyred saints in Revelation 6:11 have glorified bodies to wear the white robes? 30:56 Will there be a fake Ark of the Covenant when the world submits to the antichrist? 33:10 Is the book Run Over by the Grace Train by Joby Martin okay to read? 34:21 Is there a difference between being a Christian and being saved? 36:15 Can Roman Catholics be saved? 37:58 What are the main differences between Roman Catholics and Baptists and Non-Denominational Christians? 41:18 Mormons consider themselves Christians, why aren't they? 46:27 Can you give advice to Christian men who desire to meet and marry a Christian woman? 51:31 I care for husband with dementia, is it appropriate to lie or withhold information to spare him confusion? 53:38 Did the Holy Spirit indwell Old Testament believers like New Testament believers?

DAY 2 — LOVE IS KIND. [KINDNESS IS LOVE IN ACTION] EPHESIANS 4:32 KJV If patience is love controlling how it reacts, kindness is love choosing how it acts. Patience keeps us from doing something hurtful; kindness moves us to do something helpful.KINDNESS IS LOVE IN ACTION. A strong marriage needs both. Patience says: "I won't hurt you." Kindness says: "I will help you." Kindness is: GENTLE IN THE WAY IT SPEAKS. HELPFUL IN THE WAY IT SERVES. WILLING IN THE WAY IT COOPERATES. ACTIVE IN THE WAY IT TAKES INITIATIVE.

What is the secret to a life of spiritual longevity? How did saints of old overcome the daily battle of temptation and trouble? In this sermon on Psalm 16:8 titled "… Set the Lord Always Before Me," Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones expounds on this psalm of David to share this secret. It is the daily decision to actively set the Lord always before oneself. This daily spiritual discipline enables the Christian to face the uncertainty of the future without fear as one considers who the Lord is and who they are to Him. Dr. Lloyd-Jones encourages with a gracious reminder that there are two things the Christian can do to "set the Lord before us." First, they must make an active decision to consciously remind themselves of God. It is an act of determination to think on the Lord and what He has done; otherwise their lives will be swept into busyness and God becomes secondary in thoughts and affections. Secondly, after one sets their hearts steadfastly on seeking the presence of God, they turn to the means of communion with God. Christians seek Him through prayer and reading Scripture. They are the means of communing with God on days when one feels like seeking Him as well as the days their hearts feel cold and distant from Him. Find encouragement from Dr. Lloyd-Jones's preaching on David's resolute desire to battle temptation and find comfort in setting the Lord always before him.

As a young woman goes through the Jewish wedding process, she is focused on the day her groom will come back to take her to the newly finished room in his father's house. After his father tells him it's time, the groom will walk through the streets with his groomsmen behind him approaching the bride's home. He will call out to her as he gets closer. She will come running out to meet and greet him and will be swept up in his arms. They will then turn and go to the room that has been set up for their ceremony and dinner. She will forever remain with her husband as his wife in his father's house.

DAY 1 — LOVE IS PATIENT. [LOVE KNOWS WHEN TO WAIT, WHEN TO LISTEN, AND WHEN TO BE QUIET] Patience is love under pressure. It gives our spouse room to be human, refuses to allow anger to control our response, and chooses grace when retaliation would be easier.Marriage doesn't become stronger merely because two people love each other. It becomes stronger when two people learn to practice biblical love toward each other. And the first lesson is patience. PATIENCE LISTENS BEFORE REACTING. PATIENCE GIVES GRACE TO IMPERFECT PEOPLE. PATIENCE CHOOSES PEACE OVER RETALIATION. You cannot control everything your spouse says. You cannot control everything your spouse does. BUT WITH GOD'S HELP, YOU CAN CONTROL HOW YOU RESPOND.
