mega woman // Monday E-Devotion

I have long been attracted to the D.I.Y. (do it yourself) TV shows that have a woman host who seems to be able to do anything from overhauling an engine to remodeling your home. It is awesome.

Well, I guess you need to know that I married a mega woman, and that I am understanding and seeing that more and more every day. Since we moved into our new home, my precious wife has been hard at work making our 1st home not just livable but awesome. Painting, sanding and fixing the kitchen cabinets is almost done, and more projects are being talked about. I am amazed and thankful.

Sometimes we just don't realize what we have. So, what I wanted to share in today's devotion is that I praise God for His gift of a great wife, and I want to give a shout-out to my wife for being an awesome 'mega-woman', wife and mother. Just try and keep up, ladies.

Proverbs 18:22 (nasb) --- He who finds a wife finds a good thing And obtains favor from the LORD.

1 Peter 3:7 (nlt) --- In the same way, you husbands must give honor to your wives. Treat your wife with understanding as you live together. She may be weaker than you are, but she is your equal partner in God's gift of new life. Treat her as you should so your prayers will not be hindered.

Don't tell my wife she is weaker, but that is what the verse says.

Ephesians 5:25
(nlt) --- For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her.

Dudes, we've been blessed with some great dudets, and we need to tell them that often. My wife is a great helper and keeper for me. In just a few weeks we will celebrate our 14th anniversary.

Trust is ... she is a gift from God, sometimes hard to live with (so am I) but my partner in life and more than worthy of my love and admiration.

Francis Chan's "Forgotten God" (brand new book)

One of the most powerful preachers, writers and leaders of our time, in my opinion, is Francis Chan.  His first book, Crazy Love , revolutionized my thoughts about God's love as well as my interacting with God.  Now it is time for a brand new book from Chan being released tomorrow, September 1st.  The book is Forgotten God .   This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into.  All of it is within the Holy Spirit.  Francis talks about the power that was seen in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit began to move among people.  It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about.   And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts.  We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things.  It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share.  For me C.S. Lewis is one of those.  He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class.  It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before.  He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born.  It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian.  He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
