      Why Did Jesus Speak So Strongly Against Lukewarm Faith?

      Sep 4, 2020

      In Revelation 3:14-21, the Lord is describing the “lukewarm” heart attitude of those in the Laodicean church, an attitude manifested by their deeds. The Laodiceans were neither cold nor hot in relation to God, just lukewarm. Hot water can cleanse and

      This is a book that not only celebrates the differences between men and women, but also pokes fun at those differences and offers constructive ways to improve your marriage. I listened to the audiobook version at my desk while at work. There were times when I laughed out loud at some of the stories or jokes being told. And of course there were some really good, serious points made as well. And the Farrel's do not sidestep some of the major challenges most married couples face like sex and parenting roles. Rather, they jump right in and offer their analysis of the issues, what works for them in their marriage, and what might work for you and I in our marriages. I wouldn't say any particular portion of the book was earth-shatteringly new information. If you've read books by Gary Smalley or John Gray, you'll certainly be familiar with many of the topics addressed here. After all, the issues married couples deal with do tend to be very similar from couple to couple. However, I found that the way the Farrel's presented the topics to be entertaining and relevant. And many of the chapters served as a great reminder for me personally on the reasons my wife and I process life differently at times. I really liked their Christ-centered view of marriage and the way we should deal with our differences. Overall, I think this is a great book. One that every married couple should read (or listen to). You'll laugh and say "great point" to yourself the entire way. You might also say, "So that's why my spouse reacts that way sometimes?". And if you take to heart the message the book is presenting and put some of those practical suggestions to work for you, I am confident your marriage will improve

    Week One

    The Preparation of Waffles and Spaghetti

    You know it’s time for a marriage retreat when . . .

    She sets the table, and you’re the only one who gets a paper plate.

    Lately, the family dog has been getting better cuts of meat than you.

    All week long she’s only been making her side of the bed.

    Life is so stressful at your house, you’ve been in the bathtub since August.

    Your picture in his wallet has been replaced by a Kroger’s discount card.

    The last night out he planned involved the Laundromat.

    With all your fighting, more flying objects can be seen in your house than at Roswell.

    You catch yourself trying to figure out a way to drop the kids off at church for summer Vacation Bible School and pick them up after the Christmas pageant.

    The last picnic lunch you shared was some crackers and Cheese Whiz you found under the front seat when the car broke down.¹

    This may be how you’re feeling—or maybe you want to avoid feeling this way about your marriage. Either way, it’s time for a retreat, and that’s just what this study guide is meant to be—a short oasis each day to connect your hearts. If you’re willing to take a few minutes each day and invest them well, you’ll find love is a picnic—and not one featuring old Cheese Whiz from under the car seat! Let’s focus this week on how God created us to be unique.

    Day 1

    The Daily Special

    Then God said, Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground.

    —Genesis 1:26-28

    Table Talk

    Three times in three verses, the Bible states that men and women are created in the image of God. What do you think this means? How does knowing that your spouse is made in God’s image help you value him/her? When, in marriage, might holding your partner in high esteem as a creation of God help you as a couple? (In decision making? In conflict management? In deciding how to treat one
