CCFS - Counseling Conversations

Marriage is hard work but it's good. It's good for many reasons but not the least of which is the fact that marriage is God's gift to us to teach us about the beautiful mystery of Christ and his church (Eph 5:32). It's very easy to forget this truth primarily because of the reality of the presence of sin.

The principal means by which these sinful attitudes and behaviors creep their way into the marriage relationship is when: (1) The opportunity for conflict arises, or (2) When we are in full-fledged conflict itself. Conflict with our spouse uniquely reveals what is in our heart. Jesus says, out of the overflow of our heart the mouth speaks (cf. Matt 12:34, Lk 6:45).  When the pressure is on, and you feel offended, hurt, annoyed, abandoned, rejected, misunderstood, what words come out of your mouth?  Are they words that seek to defend Christ's honor for what marriage is really supposed to be about, or do they support and defend an idol that you've built?

MISSION OF CCFS:

_____________

1 My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, 2 turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding-- 3 indeed, if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, 4 and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, 5 then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.

This is Episode 3 of a new series titled, Probing the Proverbs.

The third episode will probe Proverbs Chapter 1, verses 20-33 (NIV)

_____________

20 Out in the open wisdom calls aloud, she raises her voice in the public square; 21 on top of the wall she cries out, at the city gate she makes her speech: 22 "How long will you who are simple love your simple ways? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge? 23 Repent at my rebuke! Then I will pour out my thoughts to you, I will make known to you my teachings. 24 But since you refuse to listen when I call and no one pays attention when I stretch out my hand, 25 since you disregard all my advice and do not accept my rebuke, 26 I in turn will laugh when disaster strikes you; I will mock when calamity overtakes you-- 27 when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind, when distress and trouble overwhelm you. 28 "Then they will call to me but I will not answer; they will look for me but will not find me, 29 since they hated knowledge and did not choose to fear the LORD. 30 Since they would not accept my advice and spurned my rebuke, 31 they will eat the fruit of their ways and be filled with the fruit of their schemes. 32 For the waywardness of the simple will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them; 33 but whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm." [Pro 1:20-33 NIV]

This is Episode 2 of a new series titled, Probing the Proverbs.

The first episode will probe Proverbs Chapter 1, verses 1-7 (NIV)

_____________

8 Hear, my son, your father's instruction, and forsake not your mother's teaching, 9 for they are a graceful garland for your head and pendants for your neck. 10 My son, if sinners entice you, do not consent. 11 If they say, "Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood; let us ambush the innocent without reason; 12 like Sheol let us swallow them alive, and whole, like those who go down to the pit; 13 we shall find all precious goods, we shall fill our houses with plunder; 14 throw in your lot among us; we will all have one purse"-- 15 my son, do not walk in the way with them; hold back your foot from their paths, 16 for their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed blood. 17 For in vain is a net spread in the sight of any bird, 18 but these men lie in wait for their own blood; they set an ambush for their own lives. 19 Such are the ways of everyone who is greedy for unjust gain; it takes away the life of its possessors. [Pro 1:8-19 ESV]

INTRODUCTION: What sort of way are prone to think in the midst of a crisis.  COVID-19 is not the greatest crisis we can face.  It's a crisis, but not the greatest crisis.  But it does bring us to the threshold of the prospect of the greatest crisis, which is the prospect of death apart from God. And so where we stand with God on the day of our death is the most important question you will have. So thinking about righteousness in the midst of a crisis, this is what a mature Christian does.

There are many things vying for the attention of your heart as the prospect of COVID-19 touching you and those you love.  We need something new re-direct the thoughts that occupy our anxious minds.  May these new  meditations of our heart encourage you and lift you up, and point you to Jesus.
