Many men in Christian homes who are new, weak in the faith or just clueless dont even know this, so unsaved men def don't. They live sinfully selfish lives, oblivious and uncaring. Being married means you are united as one. You have one purpose together as a unit and are a team on mission for Christ, presenting the Gospel to the world by your life lived in Faith, by being of one mind and mission to present and teach the Gospel to your kids and others, and are a team. So when we live out being Christlike, husbands too are to love their wives as Christ loved and loves the Church (his bride). Husbands are to be the humble sacrificial servant to you just as you are to him. Putting each other and the family before one's self. This is a reason Scripture points out that Husbands are to love their wives. Loving as Christ did and does for his bride. The lengths he went to on mission and at the cross, and elas servant to God and fellow man even to doing dirty despised things such as was...

I am beginning to grow concerned for my children’s safety and want solid Christian advice. Need help navigating some Christian conduct We moved to a new home and have only been here for a month. It has become evident that our neighbors are very unwelcoming, unhappy we are here, and we seem to be dealing with the beginning of harassment.  We moved to a short cul-de-sac of 10 homes off of a rural country road near woods and lakes.

I had a man come knock on my door cursing that I should not walk my dog along the country road in the drainage ditch. He threatened to have my dog taken by ani...

Q: I’m 21 and my dad treats me like I’m 12 still. I live at home and I’m not allowed to do some of the things that I want to. If I go to a party my dad always picks me up early cos he wants to go to bed. He still makes me sit in the back of the car which my friends laugh at. I pray God can help. Pray for me.  A: Are you complaining about his loving care? God doesnt want us to complain, as it is sin. And though disrespecting your dad and you by ungodly teasing, who cares about those friends. Tbvh most childhood, high school and even college friends fade away from your life. In 2 to 3 years you'll be elsewhere making other friends at church.  He is trying to guide you to live mature and responsible, also to keep you safe. And if it was my home, as a Christian parent I wouldn't let you participate in pagan parties. That's not the lifestyle of Christian holy behavior. Finding godly friends is important. Bad company corrupts good morals, and this nation is full of pagans. I als...
