Yesterday, we talked about one of the important needs for husbands. Today, I want to talk about what researchers agree is the second most important need for women: conversation.
Many jokes have been made about how a woman can talk and talk and talk… but those jokes have a basis in fact. A woman’s need to talk is much greater than a man’s. And, fellows, it isn’t a joke any more than your need for sex is a joke.
When I say a woman needs to talk, I d..
The number-two need husbands most frequently mention may surprise you. It’s admiration. That’s right, ladies. Your husband has a very real need to know you admire him. God points to the importance of this need in Ephesians 5:33b:
…and [let] the wife see that she respects and reverences her husband—that she notices him, regards him, honors him, prefers him, venerates him and esteems him; and that she defers to him, praises him, and loves and admires..
Men and women have differing needs. That fact is confirmed not only by the Bible, but by secular studies and research as well. Nearly all the studies I’ve seen in this area report that everyone has 10 or 12 basic needs, yet the top needs for women are very different from the top needs for men.
On practically all of the lists of needs that have been compiled, one particular need consistently shows up as being the most intense for men…
“My needs aren’t being met.” That is the battle cry of 99 percent of the people who attend marriage counseling. God designed us with certain physical, spiritual, emotional, and intellectual needs. Men and women both have them, and according to God’s plan, when a man and woman come together in marriage, those needs can then be fully met.
At least, they are supposed to be. In reality, what often happens is that men and women fail to re..
On the heels of Holy Week, National Geographic presents The Story of God, an ambitious, expansive six-part series hosted by Morgan Freeman. This is an impressive interfaith study, with Freeman traveling to Israel, Egypt, Turkey, Guatemala, India and beyond in search of God, or at least humanity’s efforts to reach God. From the Temple Mount in Jerusalem to bathers on the Ganges, we follow Freeman and his guides to spiritual hot spot..
We should have seen this coming. After all it was a Disney / Pixar film that captured the mantra of the secular Progressives: “We scare because we care.”
Just as we describe in You Will Be Made to Care, Disney has joined the NFL and other compassionate bullies to try to shut down even stripped-down religious freedom protection in Georgia under the auspices of opposing discrimination. They are threatening to take their Marvel movie-making magic somewhere else if Georgia passes HB 757 to protect r..
![[Audio] How Pastors Can Preach about Religious Freedom](https://news.thelivinggod.online/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/ec3cb00a2ff21c3e81584d04ee44408be273e5d11cb1104391f3_640_freedom-365x260.jpg)
My friend Dr. McKay Caston (who happens to also be my pastor) preached a sermon recently that demonstrates how pastors can and should preach about religious freedom.
It is fine example of speaking the truth in love and preparing a congregation for the rising tide of persecution in America.
McKay has agreed to let me post the audio here and share his sermon notes below. You can follow his blog here.
I encourage you to share them with pastors and church leaders and prayerfully encourage them to en..
Pastor Rick Warren says 'God's mercy has sustained me, and my wife Kay, and our entire family through the darkest days.'
Pastor Rick Warren of Saddleback Church is preparing for “the most life-changing [sermon] series” of his career, which is titled “The Miracle of Mercy.”
Warren said the series will hopefully help people get through the worst days of their lives by relying on the mercy of God.
“God's mercy has sustained me, and my wife Kay, and our e..
Pastor Saeed Abedini shares this copy of President Barack Obama's letter to him.
U.S. President Barack Obama has written a letter to Pastor Saeed Abedini in response to the latter's letter thanking the President for helping him regain his freedom after spending more than three years in an Iranian prison.
“Thank you for taking the time to write to me to express your gratitude. As President, I made a vow that our country would do everything in its power to win y..
Pastor Greg Laurie says, 'Many Christians are surprised to find that the Christian life is not a playground but a battleground.'
Trials are difficult, and during these moments, Christians are left wondering if God is still watching over them.
Pastor Greg Laurie of Harvest Christian Fellowship says that people should not harbour these doubts because God is always with them.
“Trials are a bit like a cloud that may obscure the rays of the sun. When you go ..
