Conflict Series (Part 9): Resolution to Both Parties Feel Harmed
At the end of December, we were discussing how both Solomon and his bride were feeling wronged by a conflict they were having. This is the time when a conflict can most easily be resolved.
How? You can determine that you do not need to react as your mate has reacted. If your mate has hurt you, you do not need to hurt your mate. Whatever your mate has done to you, you do not need to respond in kind. The Read More....
A Full House: A Recap of SOS Conference St. Paul Minnesota
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010
Minneapolis/St. Paul, you sure know how to heat up your city. When we arrived that night it was a low of -6. Of course, just another day in the neighborhood for you guys. Brrr!
How tough are you? Outside my hotel there was an OUTDOOR concert, a band playing 80's cover tunes, in that weather. Now, I can tell you that the crowd wasn't quite Woodstock like, but still, that is what I call hard-core and committed to fun.
On Saturday at the St. Paul River Centre, over 2,000 people came to hear PRead More....
Debt Kills Intimacy
Tuesday, January 26th, 2010
When a marriage is strapped with debt, I can almost bet you that the couple is having less intimacy, joy and sex. Sex inside marriage takes energy. Debt kills energy.
The old proverb, "the best things in life are free" is correct, but somehow our pride, and this culture, tells us we need more. Bigger house-bigger payment. Newer car-bigger payment. More toys-bigger payment. Private education-bigger payment. I am not saying that any of these in and of themselves is a bad thing, even GodRead More....

Conflict Series Part VIII: Both Parties Feel Harmed (continued)
Wednesday, December 30th, 2009
Two weeks ago we left Solomon knocking at the door of his beloveds and where she was not letting him in. He persists in his expression of desire and longing for her:
My beloved put his hand by the latch of the door, and my heart yearned for him. I arose to open for my beloved, and my hands dripped with myrrh,
My fingers with liquid myrrh, on the handles of the lock. I opened for my beloved, but my beloved had turned away and was gone.
(Song 5:6)

The Kids & Re-Marriage
Tuesday, December 1st, 2009
For a first week of questions you guys really did not waste any time. Of course, when we are experiencing pain, time is of the essence, right!
In thinking about which direction to go in my response, I tried to think about one of the issues brought up that may affect the most people. I just spent some time with family over the Thanksgiving holiday, as I am sure many of you did, which of course is a whole other topic, right? So who is going to give me counsel on that one?
But, here is a poiRead More....
Tommy Nelson: Are you Pressing for a Victory or Resolution?

Conflict
Back in the early 1980s, my wife, Teresa, and I were in Oklahoma City where I had been invited to conduct a wedding ceremony. The morning after the wedding, I went out for a jog. It was hot and humid, and by the time I finished my run, my t-shirt was soaked with sweat. I came back into our motel room, stripped off my t-shirt, and threw it in a nearby paper bag—which is obviously where I thought such a garment ought to go. My wife reacted instantly without thinkingRead More....
What Are You Feeding Your Spouse?
Tuesday, October 20th, 2009You Become What You Give
A very important aspect of a truly good marriage is that a couple bring out the best in each other, each person being the type of person he or she would also like to be. Your spouse should be one of your heroes! It is up to a spouse to determine what type of emotional “nourishment” will be given in a marriage. Will you feed your mate unkind words, bitterness or negativity? Or will you feed your mate encouragement, value aRead More....Is Your Bedroom En Gedi?
Wednesday, September 16th, 2009
In the Song of Solomon, Solomon refers to their bedroom as En Gedi. En Gedi was this picture you see just taken by Mark Driscoll on his recent trip to Israel.
So, what is En Gedi?
En-Gedi is a lush oasis in the midst of the desert wilderness on the southwestern shore of the Dead Sea. The surrounding region is hot and bleak; its dry sands extend monotonously for miles. The Dead Sea region is a salty desert covered with a dusty haze and characterized by almost unbearable heat duringRead More....
Austin… What Should Mark and Grace Driscoll know about You?
Sunday, September 13th, 2009
I talked with Mark this week and he is fired up to be in the Lonestar state on Oct. 2-3. In fact, I tell him if Seattle was not his home base, Austin is the warm weather version of Seattle. Both cities are extremely cool, have a great vibe, beautiful and plenty of folks who love Jesus and even more who need Jesus.
Mark and Grace have just spent about three weeks in Greece, Turkey and Israel and have had the opportunity to visit some of the actual places that are mentioned in Song of SolomRead More....

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009
On October 2-3 Mark Driscoll and his wife Grace will be teaching the Live Song of Solomon Conference in Austin at Hill Country Bible Church. Mark's presentation of the message is honest, funny, redeeming and very practical. Here is what Kerry from Missouri said about Mark and SOS: "I found it to be incredibly informative and understandable and relatable. Oh, and he's hilarious!"
That is just one of the 2500 folks who attended the weekend. The Song of SolomRead More....
