As a wife, you are uniquely able to honor your husband in ways no one else can.
Tragically, in today’s culture, the idea of honor in the marriage relationship has been lost. It’s a key reason so many marriages aren’t what they could be. In Eight Ways to Honor Your Husband, author Marilynn Chadwick shares how you can show this special kind of love:
become strong
guard your home
believe the best
lighten his load
build him up
dream big together
create a culture of honor
As you honor your husband, you and he will both experience new heights of fulfillment and intimacy—and you’ll show others how beautiful the husband-wife union can be when it follows God’s design.

5 Steps to True Healing and Freedom
Soul Prescription offers the healing and hope you seek. With a unique, methodical, and biblically based approach to eliminating sin habits, these five steps will help you evaluate your behavior and attitudes in light of God’s standards. Then you can begin the process of turning away from debilitating habits and embrace Holy Spirit–empowered virtues.
These proven principles are the result of decades of experience from the respected Christian leader Bill Bright and the well-known biblical counselor Henry Brandt.
Have you bought into the “all about me” attitude that’s prevalent in our culture today? Even if you haven’t done it consciously, do you sometimes act that way? Do you always want to be first in line? Are you rude behind the wheel, trying to get ahead of everyone else? Do you want to have a better house, car or other possessions than those around you? Pride can rear its head in all kinds of ugly ways.
Pride’s family of behaviors includes conceit, self-righteousness, boasting, selfish ambition, showing off, vanity, and impatience. Discover how these vices can be replaced with humility.
Feeling afraid? Is fear keeping you in bondage? Does fear influence your future?
Some fear may be natural and acceptable. But living in fear because you refuse to move on is another matter: it is sin. A person can have a sinful fear habit just as surely as an immorality habit or a drunkenness habit.
When we are not trusting in God’s care for us, we naturally react to our circumstances by trying to figure out how we can meet our own needs. It is a kind of homegrown providence, and it will never do.
Feeling angry? Is anger destroying your relationships? Do you want to change?
Anger is a strong feeling of dislike, displeasure, or antagonism. It is connected to a host of other negative feelings and behaviors, including rage, hatred, bitterness, vengefulness, and violence.
What do you do if you are filled with rage or hatred or bitterness? What do you do if you are vengeful or violent? By God’s grace, you get rid of the sin of anger and replace it with the virtue of forgiveness.
Do you eat too much? Do you find it hard to stop after one or two drinks? Overindulging can have serious consequences, from health problems to jail time, and more.
There are many ways people may let their appetites get out of control. A mother might spend far more time working out at the gym than she needs to keep in shape, neglecting her family responsibilities in the process. A young person might love the adrenaline rush from thrill-seeking activities, such as extreme skiing and class-5 river rafting, to the point that he risks his life. And what about caffeine? Or cigarettes?
Addicted to porn? Giving in to sexual temptation? Feeling shame? Sex misused can destroy your relationships and your health.
There are many awful ways that the gift of sexuality can be perverted and turned into something degrading and shameful. But the bottom line is that the only place where sexual activity is acceptable is between a man and a woman who are married to each other. As hard as it may seem, sexual abstinence is the requirement for anyone who is not married. And for married couples, sexual attention can be directed only toward your spouse.
Feeling restless? Discontent with your circumstances? Does it seem that nothing ever satisfies?
We have so much, but we want more. If somebody else has got it and we do not, we want it. Even if we do not need it, and even if God has offered no indication that He wants to give it to us, we think it has got to be ours. This attitude goes by the name of envy or jealousy or covetousness. Whatever you call this attitude, it is an improper craving for something another person possesses to such an extent that you cannot be happy unless you have it. It is a sinful desire for things that belong to your neighbor.
Feeling guilty about that lie you told today? Or have you told so many that you have a hard time remembering what the truth is? Or perhaps you deceive subtly by pretending to be someone you’re not. Are your relationships suffering for it?
Do you tell falsehoods when it serves your purpose? Do you pretend to be what you are not? Do you trick others for profit?
It can be very tempting to shade the truth or present oneself in a false light for selfish reasons. Nevertheless, each of us must give up deception and learn the ways of honesty and integrity.
Are you critical of others? Do your words sometimes harm your relationships? Do you desire to tame your tongue?
Divisiveness can be a problem in any type of team or group. But in a church group, particularly, unity is essential to bearing fruit. It is as we are all in one accord that we move ahead, under the Spirit’s direction, to the future that God has for us.
When an individual is picking a fight with someone else or setting one part of a group against another, he or she is at fault before God and the body. Some people seem to have a knack for contributing to a conflict so that strife grows and grows.
Do you have a hard time submitting to the authority over you at work, in your family, at church, or in other situations? Do you disrespect authority figures by refusing to comply, or doing a poor job?
The fact is that in life there are authority structures. In governments, in businesses, in churches, in homes, some people are leaders over others. In different situations, indeed, each of us is a follower and a leader. Except in certain limited situations, to reject or undermine properly instituted authority is to rebel against the order God has established in human society.
Are you often late for appointments no matter how hard you try to change? Do you leave work, school or other projects to the last minute? Are you always stressed out because you can’t find things?
Irresponsibility manifests itself in many ways. Some people are irresponsible with time. They are habitually late for engagements, causing other people inconvenience as a result. Or they procrastinate, putting off doing what they know they ought to do. Others are irresponsible with material objects. They borrow things from others and either forget to return them or else let them become damaged while in their possession. Or they may take poor care of their own possessions.
This video will give you insight into understanding God’s power (Son Power) that is at work within us (Ephesians 1:19) through faith in the Son of God and man. The salvation that Jesus granted us goes far beyond eternal life in heaven. If we follow Him, He promised us we will then have life and have it to the fullest on earth as well (John 10:10).
This great power from God is made manifest in us when we crucify our old lives, putting our old sin patterns to death on the cross. To the degree we agree with Him and do that, it’s no longer the darkened old you who lives, but Christ who lives within you, radiating His glory and power through your life (Galatians 2:20). You will become like a prism, reflecting His holiness, goodness, mercy, love and power for the world around you to see.
When this takes place, you will truly become more than a conqueror in Jesus (Romans 8:37). Through His mighty Son Power (2 Corinthians 4:7), you will be able to accomplish more than you ever dreamed possible before knowing Him (Ephesians 3:20)!

Also, take a moment and reflect on the promises in the Word of God referenced above:
“…what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might” – Ephesians 1:19
“You will have life and have it to the full” – John 10:10
“My old life has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives within me.” – Galatians 2:20
“Our great power is from God, not from ourselves” – 2 Corinthians 4:7
“Now all glory to God, who is able, through His mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask of think” – Ephesians 3:20
“In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us” – Romans 8:37
Finally, here’s the transcript in case you want to ponder the words in the video at your own pace:
Jesus wants to be your power source for exceptional living — living that not only affects this life, but also the one to come. Son Power impacts spiritual life like sun power impacts our physical life.
The sun is the source of unbelievable and virtually unlimited power. Its rays provide warmth, light, and energy. Without the sun, we would be in complete darkness. Without the sun, we would have no plant life or food to sustain us. Without the sun, life on earth would not exist. The sun is the center of our existence as the earth revolves around it.
A little more than two thousand years ago, Jesus, the Son of God, entered our world, bringing light and life and hope. Just as the sun is the source of life for the earth, we find that Jesus is our source of supernatural life by establishing our relationship with God. Just as the earth revolves around the sun, absorbing light and life, we receive light and spiritual life through the Son. Jesus came to bring us a new way of life. This new life includes his power working in and through us.
In the same way that we trust in Jesus Christ’s power on the cross for our salvation, we must trust him for power through the Holy Spirit to live each day in the life he has designed for us. The apostle Paul explains, “My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me” (Galatians 2:20).
The Son-powered life is a life possessed by the Holy Spirit of God, controlled by him, and empowered by him. If we trust in the power of self to live the Christian life, we will fail. Paul said it well, “Our great power is from God, not from ourselves” (2 Corinthians 4:7). When the Spirit’s power energizes us, we will experience God’s work in and through us as we see his power displayed in the world around us.
Jesus generates the power we need to live the life that God has planned for us. When that happens, the Son rises with power in our heart and we begin to experience an extraordinary life. “Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think” (Ephesians 3:20).
That is Son Power. Power that enables us to accomplish all that God has for us to do and be.
Do you want to live the Son-powered life? What are you going to do with the Son Power that God has made available to you? Are you going to settle for a life of mediocrity and low impact? Or are you going to rise, go from here, and live as the Son-powered vessel God wants you to be?
It’s a decision that only you can make.
Choose Son Power and let God fill you with His power so your life will make an impact on eternity.

Matthew 6:19-21 tells us, “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
Luke 12:16-21 also says, “And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’
“Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”’
“But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’
“This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”
In case you missed part of the video, here’s a transcript:
Have you ever considered that everything we can see and touch is ultimately going to pass away? We live in a perishable world; it is all subject to decay and destruction. That’s a sobering thought!
As Christians, each one of us has a dual citizenship, one here on earth and one in heaven. Our resources: time, talent, and treasure, are all perishable in the earthly realm, but they become imperishable when we invest them in the heavenly kingdom of God; they last forever with eternal rewards. And that means we can generate treasure that extends into eternity rather than having our legacies abruptly end in an earthy grave.
Jesus Christ came into this world to reunite us with God; he also came to save us from wasting our lives. Our relationship with Christ transforms us in many ways. One of those transformations is a desire to use all of the resources God has blessed us with to further his Kingdom.
In his letter to the Colossians, the apostle Paul admonishes us to “set our sights on the realities of heaven.” Our focus needs to be on heaven and eternity! Do you want to convert the perishable things you now possess into imperishable treasure? If so, you need to see yourself as God’s steward of what he has entrusted to you and strategically use your time, talent and treasure to bring about your heavenly reward.
Jesus said, “Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need” (Matthew 6:33). C. S. Lewis put that verse in his own words: “Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither.”
We live in a time bubble that can pop at any moment. When that happens, we will find ourselves in a new paradigm facing the realities of our eternal future.
Are you cooperating with God in the use of your time, talent and treasure? Or are your resources being consumed in perishable endeavors?
Jesus gave us this sure eternal investment tip when he said, “Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven.”
God wants to help you adjust your focus from your desires to his desires. He wants to help you invest in His Eternal Kingdom. He is able to use your little to do great things.
With each new day, watch for God appointed opportunities to invest your time, talent, and treasure into things that create eternal value.
Yes, your treasure can last forever. It is guaranteed and the returns are fantastic!
Focus on eternal treasure for lasting impact.
Invest in Heaven.
Discover how you can enjoy a life that will echo into eternity.
