Psalm 91’s vertical dimension reminds us that it is God alone—not our own strength, not our circumstances—who keeps believers secure through every trial and season, never forsaking them, always faithful.

Yahweh, the true and living God, protects the one who trusts in Him through the dangers of this life and ushers him into eternal glory. At its heart, this psalm is a celebration, a celebration of the believer's absolute security even in the middle of danger.

The apostle Paul’s teaching in Ephesians 6 argues that the primary goal of every marriage and family is that they be God-centered and God-focused. In other words, the aim and ambition of every family is the glory of God.

In Ephesians 4, the apostle Paul makes a case that all Christians, particularly those in a marriage covenant, must communicate in a way that honors God and edifies one another. But the sinful flesh makes communication in marriage challenging at times. So it is crucial not only to understand the biblical teaching on communication but to apply it.

For every one of us, conflict is an unavoidable reality—there is no way of fully escaping it. As Christians, we have a new nature, but we still live in our flesh—our unredeemed humanness. Therefore, we sometimes communicate and respond in our marriages in ways that are sinful. Thankfully, the apostle Paul has given us Ephesians 4 to help believers become better communicators in marriage.

In Ephesians 4, Paul encourages Christians to use sound speech in marriage and to flee from language that isn’t gracious and edifying.

For us, as Christians, communication is to be used to edify and build up one another as well as honor and bless God. And the same is true for marriages and families. Christian communication is characterized by choosing gracious words but also by using words that are always truthful and honest.

As Christians, our speech must be marked by wholesome words that honor our great God. In our marriages, we must seek never to let unwholesome words come out of our mouth, but only those that are in accordance with grace.

In Ephesians 4, the apostle Paul teaches that communication is vital for the health and longevity of marriage. Pastor Tom explains the kind of speech that must characterize your conversation with your spouse as you interact with each other on a daily basis.
