YOU CAN KNOW THE WILL OF GOD: In Ephesians 5:25 it says, "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the Church and gave himself up for her." [NIV]. Men, this is a clear statement. Men, we are under obligation to look out for the benefit and welfare of our spouses. We are to love them... but it does not stop there. We are to love them as Christ loved the Church. I think we as men need to sit down and really think that one through. Beating your wife is not the love of Christ. Divorcing your wife is not the love of Christ. Speaking and berating her in front of others, is not loving your wife. The key phrase to remember here is, "... as Christ loved...". It takes work, so let's get at it!

BOOK RECOMMEND: I thought that I would take this section and do something different today. On occasion, some might ask where they could get a Bible rebound. Maybe you have a favorite Bible with lots of notes that you would hate to have to write all over again, but the Bible's binding is coming apart and you feel it's worth saving. Well, about a year ago, I was in that same position but where would I turn? After some research, I located ACE Bookbinding Co., 825 N. Classen Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73106. They are also located on the web at www.acebookbindery.com . It is not cheap to have a Bible rebound, but I found their work outstanding and well worth my time and money. Check it out if you need a rebinding service (I receive no payment for this endorsement).
