We have good news and then…well, good news! We have chosen a name for Ruth! Ready…. RUTH Your God. My God. A True Story of Love & Redemption Now, this was no one person’s entry. It is a combination of Carrie Hudson, Tommy Nelson, John Vines…from City Church…and who knows else:) So, we have decided to reward 3 of you who have made name suggestions. Here they are: John Vines – A Story of Redemption Nathan – Redeeming Love (this was a contender!) RuthRead More....

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....

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....

Solomon did not at first respond to his wife’s rejection in an angry way. He persisted in expressing his desire. At first he only called to her. She heard his voice. Then even after she had rejected him verbally, he reached out for her. His behavior did not mirror hers. He continued to pursue her in love. Refuse to overreact or to react too quickly to what another person does or says. One person said to me, “My mother had a phrase, ‘let the river roll on for a while.’ We livedRead More....

A number of people who have heard me teach on the Song of Solomon have asked me, “But how can I tell if my spouse is upset over something I’ve done?  My spouse doesn’t seem to give me any clue that I’ve stepped on her toes or tripped her up.”  Every person has different means of communicating and sending signals.  It may take you a little time to determine when you have overstepped the boundaries of what your mate considers to be appropriate or good behavior.  My wife’s foremost Read More....

Last week we left our discussion with being slow to anger and not reacting like the person who has hurt you so that you resolve your conflict.  Maybe you are saying, “But you said previously, Tommy, that I should not stifle my feelings and that I should express them freely in my marriage.”  That’s absolutely correct, but how and when you express your feelings, and with what underlying motive and attitude, are very important. Express yourself, yes, but wait until your emotional temperaRead More....

Words don't express the pain that humans, created by God, are experiencing in Haiti. And, now a second earthquake. I am not angry at God, but I can't say I understand these times either. Some people say, Jesus, come back now. I think yes, but then I think of those who don't know Him yet, and as Tommy Nelson once said, "Aren't all Christians grateful that Christ did not come back the day before we were saved?" It is hard to comprehend all of this tragedy. Mark Driscoll travels there and Read More....

In response to Caryn's question: Caryn and her husband just had their first child and are now struggling with connecting physically, emotionally and spiritually. Her final comment/question is: Is it possible to still be madly in love with your spouse and enjoy being parents? Caryn, YES! Guess what's next...WORK. First things first. I think you need to slow down a bit, step back and let soRead More....

Conflict Series: Conflict During the Three Stages of Marriage (Part 5) Conflict usually is minimal during the first stage of a marriage, which is the honeymoon period. Honeymoon literally refers to a “sweet month.” It marks the period from one stage of the moon to the next time that stage of the moon occurs. In a marriage, the honeymoon period is the period of sweetness and kindness between two spouses, a time when all things seem new and fresh and exciting—about thirty days. The Read More....

Conflict Series - Part IV One of the strangest verses in the entire Bible must be Proverbs 14:4: “Where no oxen are, the trough is clean; but much increase comes by the strength of an ox.” This verse means that if you don’t have any oxen, you will obviously have a clean manger or feeding trough.  You may be happy to have a clean trough, which doesn’t require any work, but on the other hand, you are likely to be much happier if you have oxen in your stable.  StrRead More....
