What does it mean for husbands to be the heads of their wives?
It’s been overemphasized how husbands are called by God to be the leaders of the household. In fact, it’s been said so many times that husbands are starting to get cocky and wives are getting sick of it. Allow me to add to that long list, but don’t worry, I’m not cutting the husbands any slack today. In fact, we need to make one thing clear today that will hopefully challenge men to step up and do more. Ephesians 5:23 says, “For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.” It is very clear in scripture that husbands are called to be the leaders of the home and of their wives. But one thing that many husbands fail to realize is that the Bible also makes clear how men are to lead their households. Scripture also tells us that men are to lead “as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.” We all know what Christ did for the church. It was Christ who did the hard work of laying down the foundation, building and even sanctifying the church through His own death. In the same way, husbands are to lead their wives the same way Jesus did — by serving and sacrificing. Doesn’t sound all too comfortable, does it? That’s because God never meant for leadership to be perk-filled and easy. God calls men to lead their wives by serving them. Husbands do not rule over their wives. In case we have forgotten, there is only one person who can rule over families, and that’s God Himself. Leading and ruling are not one thing. The leadership God calls husbands into is in the context of service and love, pointing our family always to the one true Ruler of the home. So where are we supposed to get the energy to love and serve our wives and families? John 13:34 tells us, “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” The first step husbands must take to be effective in the way they lead their families is to experience the love, grace and power of God, and then let it trickle down to their families. Leadership has always been described by God in the context of serving others, and we serve best when we realize how much Jesus — as our leader — has served and loved us so that we can lead our families with love and grace as well.

What does the Bible say about demons?
When you were a new Christian, chances are that you avoided the concept or the idea that demons exist and are very real today. That’s because the world and media today have forced us to believe some ideas about demons that may haze our concept of the truth. Horror films and ghost stories make us believe that evil spirits are on the move to destroy us. That part is true, but they don’t use chainsaws and spells to do that. And while it is the number one mission of demons to destroy our lives, there are more damaging ways that they do that. Demons were once glorious angels who fell short of the glory of God and are doomed to one day be locked up in eternal damnation, and their one goal in their lives is to take as many people with them. What does the Bible teach us about demons? Demons don’t want you in a relationship with God John 10:10 says that “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” Demons don’t just want your heads chopped off or your minds shattered in pieces. Their goal is to sever your spirit from the Spirit of God both today and for all eternity. The Bible tells us that demons are already set for defeat. Matthew 25:41 says, “Then He will also say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels.’” Demons use temptation, deception and accusation as weapons Demons are powerful and are even more powerful than humans. They have the ability to take various forms and overcome people. So those stories of demon possessions are very real. In fact, the Bible is full of accounts of demon possessions. The primary arsenal of demons is made up of temptation, deception and accusation. They tempt people to commit sin, deceive people into thinking sin is okay and then condemn people. All this they do to draw us away from the presence and love of God. Demons can be defeated James 4:7 says, “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” The biblical emphasis on demons is that they are already defeated because of the finished work of Christ. When Jesus died on the cross, it made all of the darkness shudder in fear because He had finally broken the power of sin. Originally posted 2016-03-09 09:23:13.
Inspirational Bible Verses for Depression
Along with traditional medical treatment the Bible is a solid source of help during depression, anxiety, or when we have bouts of uncertainty. You can use verses to lean on during tough moments and keep them handy through the day when you need it most. Determination is important and studying the word of God, to keep you moving forward and refreshed is key. Admitting that you don’t have all the answers is fine, none of us do! Over 300 million people have depression world-wide and struggle with it daily. World Health Organization said it “is the leading cause of disability worldwide.” You are in good company. King David, Barbara Bush, Abraham Lincoln, rapper Lecrae, author Sheila Walsh and many others have and are dealing with depression. “Depression is not a sign of lack of spirituality. The most renown spiritual leaders walked thru deep depression,” Tweeted Lecrae. He is right. So don’t allow this to keep you from moving on, and digging your heels in deep. You will make it! To start, let’s read Deuteronomy 31:6-8: “Be strong and courageous, for you must go with this people into the land that the LORD swore to their ancestors to give them, and you must divide it among them as their inheritance. The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid–do not be discouraged.” Allow the following scriptures to encourage and strengthen body, soul and mind. Psalm 37:1-40: “Fret not yourself because of evildoers; be not envious of wrongdoers! For they will soon fade like the grass and wither like the green herb. Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Psalms 94:19 – In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.” Jeremiah 29:11: “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” Matthew 11:28-30: “Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Hebrews 11:1: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Psalm 34:18 and 19: “The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. A righteous man may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all. Psalm 37:23-24: If the Lord delights in a man’s way, he makes his steps firm; though he stumbles, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand.” Psalm 43:5: “Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God.” Hebrews 4:12: “For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” Samuel 22:29: “You are my lamp O Lord; the Lord turns my darkness into light.” Ecclesiastes 9:4: “Anyone who is among the living has hope.” Psalms 9:9: “The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.” Psalm 55:22: “Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.” Psalm 143:7-8: “Answer me quickly, O Lord; my spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me or I will be like those who go down to the pit. Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I’ll lift up my soul.” Romans 5:5: “And hope makes not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given to us.” Originally posted 2016-03-09 09:19:35.
