Treat your wife better than you treat anything or anyone. That’s your covenant with God. That’s your first ministry. To love her the way Christ loves the church is a high calling. If you fail at that, you’ve failed at everything.
― Paul Washer

Jesus didn’t defeat the devil by quoting scripture at the devil. He defeated the devil by obeying the scripture He quoted. This is faith and obedience

The world loves the rich and famous, but God loves the unknown and the nobodies. The world loves the rich and the powerful, but God loves the poor and the weak. Our world loves the extraordinary, but God loves the ordinary—people like you and me.
I sometimes wonder how God could love me. I have failed Him ever so many times. But His love is relentless, consistent, and persistent. God says, "Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you" (Jeremiah 31:3).

The heart of God
Acta non verba. It’s Latin, for “deeds not words.”
It’s the motto for who knows how many military units, schools, and groups. Because it points to a universal truth.
One that applies equally to us as human beings and to our Maker (where do you think we got it from?).
Much more so than anything we say, our actions reveal who we really are.
Today’s Gospel gives us one of those moments. Where – without a single word from Jesus – we get a glimpse into the heart of God.
On His way to Jerusalem, Jesus passes through a Samaritan village.
This is a village that had previously welcomed Him with open arms. Jesus preached there and healed people. Back in the day, they’d even begged Him to stay.
But not today. Once they found out where Jesus was going, they refused to welcome Him.
That’s how much the Samaritans hated the people down in Jerusalem.
(If you’ve ever had a “friend” – someone you did everything for – turn their back on you after one small misstep, then you understand what’s going on here.)
If Jesus did something to get back at the Samaritans? If He lashed out at them for being this way? No one would blame Him.
It’s a very understandable, very human response – to someone being this petty.
But when James and John ask Him about getting back at the Samaritans?
Not only does Jesus refuse to do that, He rebukes James and John for even thinking that He would want to.
Because there is nothing the Samaritans can do that will stop Him from loving them.
It’s a glimpse into the heart of God.
One that shows us exactly how God looks at each one of His creations. Even you and me.
No matter what we’ve done. No matter how unforgiveable we think things are. No matter how petty we are. No matter how far we think we’ve strayed.
There is nothing you can do that will stop God from loving you.

We rob men of a greater vision of God because we do not give them a lower vision of themselves.

Preach the Scriptures to your heart. Tell your heart to shut up.

So, we see here that both man and woman were created in the image of God and both of them have an equal standing before God. The roles that they play in the marriage has nothing to do with a lack of equality. When we will get to the point where it says that the man is the head of his home and a wife is to live in submission to her husband, it does not mean that the wife is less than her husband. It does not mean that. If you think it does, than guess what? You’ve just destroyed the trinity. Because, did not the Son submit to His Father? So did that make the Son less than His Father? If you say “yes”, than you have just committed heresy. Within the trinity itself, the Son submitted to His Father and yet the Bible says the Son and Father are one and they are equal.

The question is not, "Do you want to go to heaven?" The question is, "Do you want God?"

Não existe nada mais profundo e mais valioso do que as boas novas consumadas por Cristo Jesus naquela cruz. Se entendermos bem essa verdade, teremos todo o fogo de que precisamos ardendo em nosso coração, e não precisaremos mais de falsa empolgação, emocionalismo vazio ou entretenimento barato.
Verdadeiro Evangelho - Paul Washer.

Paul Washer said, "A lot of people think that Christianity is you doing all the righteous things you hate, avoiding all the wicked things you love, in order to go to heaven. That's a lost man in religion. A Christian is a person whose heart has been changed—they have new affections."

Countless reasons
“I just can’t feel God right now.”
This is one of the hardest things in life.
It can happen to us when we’re dealing with any kind of loss. Whether it’s death or illness, the end of a relationship or the loss of a job. All of them hit and hit hard.
When something like that happens to us. And even when it hasn’t – but we can see it coming.
It’s so easy for you and me to get focused on it. On how it hit us. Or how it’s going to hit us.
That we fall into a hole. Where it’s just us and what happened.
That we lose sight and sense of – well – everything and everyone else.
Where, even if we’re not putting the words, something deep within us is saying, “I just can’t feel God right now.”
Comparing whose loss is greater is a fool’s game. And a subtle form of the dreary old sin of pride.
But it is true that some losses do hit us harder than others. Here’s what I mean,
The losses that hit me the hardest? Are the ones where I did it, where this is the fallout from my sin.
Where I can legitimately point the finger at me (or at least find a way to blame myself).
Those are the ones that really send me down the hole. Where it’s just me and what happened.
When that happens, it’s easy for me to end up in that place where something deep within me is saying, “I just can’t feel God right now.”
But as St. Anthony Abbot (today’s saint) tells us, “To say that God turns away from the sinful is like saying the sun hides from the blind.”
That’s the thing about God. God doesn’t bail out on us. Even when we give Him (what we think) is every reason to quit.
Even when you can’t feel God, even when you did it. God is still right there with you.
God will always be there with you.
Holding onto you. Picking up the pieces. Lifting you up. Loving you. Until you can feel Him again.
“I’ve given God countless reasons not to love me. None of them has been strong enough to change Him.” – Paul Washer
