Thursday, June 17th, 2010Reaching Out to Make Amends
Wednesday, June 9th, 2010
Once Solomon’s wife renewed within her mind a right attitude and a loving perspective toward her husband, she went in search of Solomon. That’s why the daughters of Jerusalem asked,
Where has your beloved gone,
O fairest among women?
Where has your beloved turned aside,
That we may seek him with you? (Song 6:1)
She had a desire to find Solomon and to make things right. At that point, others were not perceived as hindering her, shaming her, or hurting her; rather, they were volunRead More....

The Response to Her Husband
Thursday, June 3rd, 2010
After reviewing the qualities of her husband as listed in Song of Solomon 5:10-16 Solomon’s wife concluded:
“He is altogether lovely. He is everything I want in a husband.”
God truly changed her heart, as her husband was kind in the face of wrong. In the light of her newly awakened awareness of all the good qualities in her husband, she had a strong desire to be the wife he longed to have.
The woman is a fine example of what God does in transforming a person’s attitude. FiRead More....
Specific Good Qualities to Have in a Marriage – (Part 2)
Wednesday, May 26th, 2010
These are some of Solomon’s features that his wife called to her mind and praised (see Song of Solomon 5:14-16):
He was strong in authority. A king’s position was often revealed by the side jeweled bands of gold that he wore on each arm, a sign of his strength in leadership over a nation, people, or empire. Solomon had great bearing in his role as king.
He was a “manly man” to his wife, strong in leadership and authority in their relationship. TRead More....
Behind the scenes at filming of Ruth
Tuesday, May 25th, 2010
We have just completed our filming on the book of Ruth with Tommy Nelson. We are pumped. Tommy, Senior Pastor of Denton Bible Church, and long time teacher for The Hub did an amazing job.
This was a special filming for many reasons. The book, this picture of Ruth, her character, the model she is, and then the raw love story behind her and Boaz and then the picture of Christ redeeming us, just like Boaz redeemed Ruth. All the ingredients for the ultimate Hollywood Classic.
Also, the locatioRead More....

Tommy Nelson – Specific Good Qualities to Have in a Marriage
Wednesday, May 19th, 2010
These are some of Solomon’s features that his wife called to her mind and praised (see Song of Solomon 5:10-13):

- He was extremely handsome—more handsome even than ten-thousand other men combined.
- His head (in this case his mind) was filled with wisdom more valuable than gold.
- He was respected even though heRead More....
Tommy Nelson – Submission
Tuesday, May 11th, 2010
One of the most effective responses I’ve ever heard given to a husband who erred in his behavior was one that a wife gave after hearing a sermon about Jesus and Pilate. Pilate said to Jesus, “Do you not know that I have power to crucify You, and power to release You?” Jesus replied, “You could have no power at all against Me unless it had been given you from above” (John 19:10-11). From that moment on, Pilate sought to find a way to release Jesus because he recognized that he, indeeRead More....
Tommy Nelson – Why Revenge is a Bad Idea
Wednesday, May 5th, 2010
I heard a priceless story about revenge one time. A woman asked her husband one morning to zip up the back of her dress. He began to play around with the zipper in a flirtatious way—zipping it up and down, up and down—and in the process, the zipper broke. She had just had the dress dry-cleaned and was late for a meeting, and there she stood with a “broken” dress. She was furious.
About 5:30 that evening, she returned home, still angry over her husband’s behavior that morning. SRead More....
Ask God to Make a Change
Wednesday, April 28th, 2010
There was no manipulation whatsoever in the scene in Song of Solomon 5:6-8. There was no bargaining—“you do this for me and I’ll do that for you.” Bargaining results in manipulation, not ministry.
A woman asked me after I had presented the information in this chapter, “If I can’t leave him, can I kill him? No, you can’t do that either!
But you can continue to love your spouse and to pray for your spouse. Ask God to do what you cannot do, and that is to change the humaRead More....
