    • The Speck & The Log in Marriages...

      Today on the show Marc discuss "The Speck & The Log in our Marriages." Matthew 7:1-5

      "Why do you look at the small piece of wood in your brother’s eye, and do not see the big piece of wood in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take that small piece of wood out of your eye,’ when there is a big piece of wood in your own eye? 5 You who pretend to be someone you are not, first take the big piece of wood out of your own eye. Then you can see better to take the small piece of wood out of your brother’s eye.

      • Yes, we should address our own big piece of wood in our eye! But it does not mean that once we do that we shouldn’t talk with grace & love to our friends about the small piece of wood in their eye
      • I am not a doctor but a small piece of wood left long could eventually kill you through an infection

        • Patience = Rhythm/Step with Jesus...

          When we live, walk, and journey at the pace of Jesus, we begin to notice people and places the way that he did as well. This helps us love our families, our neighbors, our enemies, ect. And be in step with the rhythms and ways of Jesus.

          Sabbath brings us into wholeness with God and one another.

          1 Corinthians 13:4  "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud."

          Notice that the first thing mentioned in the love chapter is about rhythm (patient).

        • Do you understand the WORDS that are coming out of my mouth?

          Take the time to develop communication (listening, asking questions, exploring meanings of their words) where understanding your spouse is the goal. 

          • Taking time = love
          • Different backgrounds complicate understanding and conflicts can erupt when words don’t mean the same to each person. 

            Tone of voice can be key 🎹.  ( Couldn’t stop myself). Paul was criticized for his tone. Why? Did he sound like a know it all? Tone conveys patience, kindness and so many things. Praying together can change this area of marriage. 

            Love deepens where an atmosphere of tolerating and accepting differences exists. Taking time to develop a couple’s language with one another will create security and trust.
