Recipe #1: Creating Security
RECIPE #1: CREATING SECURITY 4 INTRUDERS TO YOUR MARRIAGE “Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes that ruin the vineyards, our vineyards that are in bloom.†Song of Solomon 2:15 (NIV) 1. Escalation 2. Harsh Language 3. Retreat 4. Assumption “What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you?†James 4:1 (NIV) “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." James 4:6 3 KEYS TO A SECURE MARRIAGE KEY #1 - SAFETY Suspend JUDGMENT "Don't pick on people, jump on their failures, criticize their faults--unless, of course, you want the same treatment. 2That critical spirit has a way of boomeranging. 3It's easy to see a smudge on your neighbor's face and be oblivious to the ugly sneer on your own. 4Do you have the nerve to say, "Let me wash your face for you,' when your own face is distorted by contempt? 5It's this whole traveling road-show mentality all over again, playing a holier-than-thou part instead of just living your part. Wipe that ugly sneer off your own face, and you might be fit to offer a washcloth to your neighbor.†Matthew 7:1-5 (MSG) KEY #2 - HONOR Recognize Your Mate’s Incredible VALUE "Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! It is amazing to think about. Your workmanship is marvelous... You were there while I was being formed... You saw me before I was born and scheduled each day of my life before I began to breathe." Psalm 139:14-16 (LB) KEY #3 - COMMITMENT Resolve To STAY 3Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?" 4"Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,'5and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'? 6So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate." Matthew 19:3-6 15 Has not the LORD made them one? In flesh and spirit they are his. And why one? Because he was seeking godly offspring. So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith with the wife of your youth. 16 "I hate divorce," says the LORD God of Israel, "and I hate a man's covering himself with violence as well as with his garment," says the LORD Almighty. So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith.†Malachi 2:15-16

A Dying Church
A Dying Church A church dies when: 1. The members become selfish. 2. The members have interest without commitment. 3. The members have lost their zeal. 4. The members no longer center on Christ. When members think more of themselves than others, nothing can make them happy. The church building is too hot or too cold! Don’t like the way this one looks, or the way that one dresses! Jesus said “I am the vine and you are the branches.†The church dies in the heart of its members! It’s never too late to repent and draw closer to our savior Jesus Christ!

Set for Change
The Bible explicitly claims that genuine faith in Christ produces a changed life. The apostle Paul himself who experienced the changing power of God declared in 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!†In other words, the people who really have been saved are people who are changing. It is easy for anyone to talk about his or her religion, but everyone who does it must recognize that he or she must have the life to validate it. Beloved, if you know Jesus, you are set to change. I trust that you are ready to commit yourself to full cooperation with the work of transformation that God wants to do in you.
