Marriage and family

Ek het gister my laaste dag vir die jaar gewerk. Ek en ‘n kollega raak aan die gesels oor haar ‘ 5-jaar-plan’ .Sy het ‘n splinternuwe baba dogtertjie en haar prioriteite het verskuif. Sy gaan koeie aanskaf, bietjie –vir-bietjie sodat sy uiteindelik by daai plek in die lewe uit te kom waar sy maksimum kan investeer in die belangrikste verhoudinge in haar lewe. Dis musiek in my ore ! Wonderlik wanneer iemand tot die gewaarwording kom van die prioriteit van verhoudinge.
Intussen vra ‘n ander vriendin vir ernstige gebed: Sy word lelik behandel by haar werksplek, gedryg en gedruk van alle kante. Aanvanklik kan ek nie sien waaroor sy stres nie, want eintlik het sy die hef in die hand om haar werk te behou.Maar vanmore besef ek : Sy is ‘n verhoudingsmens, die stres gaan nie soseer oor werk behou of nie, dit gaan oor die gebroke en beskadigde verhoudinge.
‘n Vriend se onderdrukte seer van skooljare steek kop uit by ‘n braai. ‘n Onderwyser het hom toegesnou dat hy nog eendag in die tronk sal beland.Hoe is dit moontlik dat iets so lank terug gesê, ‘n volwasse, suksesvolle man nog so seer kan maak ? . . . Read More ... >>>

I have discovered that, as we seek the Lord, our most difficult periods can be transformed into wonderful breakthroughs into God's love. For me, one such season occurred during the years 1979 to 1981. The association of churches with which I was aligned had fallen under spiritual deception. Not only were its core doctrines increasingly seeded with New Age influences, but immorality crept in, and key leaders began leaving their wives for other women. I could no longer remain silent. As a result, in 1979 I left my congregation in Detroit, Michigan, where I had served as pastor, and traveled to the organization's regional headquarters in Iowa. I came to plead for repentance. However, after meeting with the senior leaders, I was asked to leave the group.
So here we were—we had left our church, we had no money, and we had four little children and couldn't afford even basic housing. . . . Read More ... >>>
The first question you should ask is: ‘What is a Midlife Crisis?’
MLC is an emotional condition that can appear in both men and women, usually around 45, however latest studies reveal that the spread is more around 35 to 50. The anxiety felt usually focuses on the realisation that a person’s life is halfway over. One of the factors has to do with aging. The person may feel that by the time he/she reaches the supposed halfway point in life, he/she should have achieved more.
Marc Gerzon made the following statement about understanding the Adult Metamorphosis: ‘I had a war going on inside me between the voice that said: “You’re finished growing, you’re done, it’s a done deal; and another voice that said: You’ve only begun to explore what life is about!” ’
This sums it up beautifully, doesn’t it? . . . Read More ... >>>

How long until it becomes a law in SA? It did not take long for the same-sex marriages to come here. How long until it becomes unlawful to say "I now pronounce you husband and wife?"

A wise pastor once remarked: In
marriage, I have learned there are those who admit they have been
through times when they wondered if their marriage would make it, and
then there are liars.
Relationships are hard, and the closer they are,
the harder they can be.
I tell everyone, that I give premarital
counseling to, that the Lord has ordained their marriage in order to
kill both of them!

"DYING TO LIVE" is this years theme for this weekend for Mighty Warriors in Christ
One of the most life changing weekends for "Mighty Men in Christ".
True warriors meet here and see how a farmer "burn" for Christ.
"Walk your talk" and "are you prepare to pay the price" are not uncommon sayings in this company.
This 2008 year we gather in the biggest tent in the world which spans more than 3 rugby fields and take 3 weeks to be errected
All for free. Is this not the example set out to mentor and demonstrate "Faith like potatoes"?
Do not miss out. Even at this late stage you can still come through even just for the Saterday.
(Like in the past these men know what it takes to get so many men together and don't come empty handed, but sow as well)

‘Not tonight Dear, I have a headache’. The seven
words in a phrase any man does not want to hear. It is reality that you will
inevitably have to face the excuses if you do not know how to fill your
spouse’s emotional tank. It is often said: ‘the twenty three hours before,
determines the one hour of sexual connection between a husband and his wife’.

What happened? My wife and I were setting up our training room at 596 Alouette Street Elardus Park at around 19.00. The Training room is situated behind the double garage belonging to the tenants residing in the home on the premises, when at approximately 19.10 Michelle heard a commotion through the inter-leading door, peeped through and saw that the family were being held at gunpoint. She swung around, back to the door, saying: ‘They are being robbed!’ I was a bit indecisive and said to Michelle: ‘Run to the office and lock yourself in’. She replied: ‘No, they are being hijacked, they need help. The mom and babies are trapped in the car, please help them!’ I looked around frantically what could be used, and about the same time Michelle said: ‘Hammer!’ I grabbed two of them and went charging through the door, shouting: ’Leave the woman and children alone!’ . . .

Avoiding the Top Five Regrets of an Eighty-Year-Old Minister I have been around many older ministers over 28 years of full-time ministry. I have also noticed that only very few seem satisfied with the way they prioritized their time in regards to their life and ministry. Because of this I often spend my time thinking ahead about many years from now, when I will be near the end of my earthly sojourn, and try to visualize what activity and fruit borne that would give me the most pleasure based on the Scriptures and my calling. The following observations are those I have made for myself, looking ahead so that I will not live my last days with regret, cynicism, and denial. . . . Read More ... >>>

Extract: A phantom is an unattainable mental image or standard by which we measure our performance, abilities, looks, character, and life. It is perfect and idyllic. A phantom, by definition, is an illusion, an apparition, or a resemblance of reality. Disguised as the truth, its distortion is exposed only through a careful, unhurried, and unhindered inspection. A multitude of phantoms lurks in the minds of men and women. There is the phantom husband or wife, the phantom father or mother, the phantom family, job, or friend. We all have them. . . .

The problem with most people is they never calculate their lives and actions, and just fall right into temptation because they never set up overarching values to guide their steps.
My firewalls of protection: I have already calculated how I am going to live my life by basing it on five priorities that serve as a guide and framework that determines what I value and practice in my life. These five priorities serve as a firewall of protection and inform me regarding all decisions and actions in my life. For me to sin (for example, commit adultery) these five layers would have to be penetrated. Whatever I do cannot violate: A. My fellowship and relationship with the person and presence of God. B. My sense of purpose and destiny. C. My love and commitment to my wife. D. My love and commitment to my children. E. My love and commitment to my church and the body of Christ. . . . Read More ... >>>

Introduction People often wed while they are in the honeymoon stage of their relationship, thus they have never worked through the grid of their relationship when all those euphoric feelings are missing. Also, most men are clueless in regards to the state of their relationship with their spouse. A few years after I was married, someone once asked me how my marriage was and I said great, not knowing that my marriage was in trouble because my wife was feeling alienated from me emotionally. . . .

 What does it mean today when couples say the words ‘I do’? Does that mean they are really saying ‘I do, as long as it works out?’ or merely ‘I’ll try’? You can choose to get married – no-one holds a gun to your head. Yet, it is the truth that at the time of exchanging vows, people merely mouth off: ‘I do’. Society today has no clue as to the depth of uttering those two little words. . . . Read More ... >>>
