When Legitimate Jealousy Begins to Surface

Last updated on: July 27, 2018 at 8:21 am By Jimmy Evans

Last week we talked about legitimate jealousy, a righteous and protective emotion that all married people will eventually feel. When time, energy, and/or resources that rightfully belong to us are given by our spouse to someone else (or something else), legitimate jealousy is a valid response. In fact, in Exodus 34:14, even God proclaimed that this type of jealousy is part of his character. But legitimate jealousy often doesn’t arise in a marriage for several years. All the way to...

A Marriage Built on God

Last updated on: July 27, 2018 at 2:16 pm By Jimmy Evans

Why does our marriage exist? That’s probably not a question you and your spouse ask yourselves very often, but maybe you should. What is our purpose? Why are we married? The truth is that God has a greater purpose, not just for our lives, but also for our marriages. Every great marriage exists for a reason greater than itself, and that reason is God. Every great marriage is about God. Understanding this—that our marriage has a purpose higher than ourselves—creates... Read more

Two Barriers to Fulfilling Sex

Last updated on: July 27, 2018 at 1:36 pm By Jimmy Evans

We’ve talked in weeks past about the common barriers hindering the pursuit of sexual satisfaction in marriage. Some—like physical exhaustion—are easy to identify. But others may be more subtle. One major barrier is spiritual. Many people operate on the belief that sex is the devil’s territory and not God’s. They have a misconception about sex, thinking that enjoying it is somehow dirty or wrong. As if a person can’t be spiritual and sexual at the same time! I disagree wholeheartedly... Read more

Grace and Truth: Two Extremes

Last updated on: July 27, 2018 at 8:05 am By Jimmy Evans

Once I counseled a man who was raised in a “hellfire-and-brimstone” preaching church. As a child he lived in insecurity and the fear of eternal punishment, hearing from his pastor and parents how he failed to meet God’s standards. He grew up thinking his eternal security was tied to obedience and a holy lifestyle. You can guess what happened: As an adult, this man lived in constant insecurity. He became harsh and demanding. His wife described him to me as... Read more

Marriage Without God?

Last updated on: July 27, 2018 at 10:44 am By Jimmy Evans

A few years back, I agreed to appear as a guest on a secular television program. Minutes before going on the air, a producer pulled me aside. “By the way, Pastor Evans,” she said, “would you mind not mentioning God?” “Excuse me?” I asked. I wasn’t sure I heard her right. “I understand that you’re a pastor,” she said. “But a lot of our viewers might be put off by religion, so we’d appreciate it if you didn’t mention God.”... Read more

Right there in public, someone is trying to steal your husband or wife from you! How do you feel? You feel angry. You feel violated. You feel humiliated. You want to fight!
