World Events
And The Bible
In our last two articles, we've discussed, how the bible can
help in your marriage. At this time we're going to talk about
communication in marriage. ' ,
Dr. Theodore I. Rubin, who writes on family problems,
recently commented: "Using my mail as a criterion, the
most common problem seems to be poor communication
within the family.. ..This is especially true of husbands and
wives." In fact, a Canadian study revealed that poor
communication between mates ranked first among marital
problems, being listed in 92 per cent of the cases.
Likely you can see that even the small amount of Bible
advice that we have considered in our last two articles
would, if followed, greatly relieve the problem of lack of
communication between husband and wife. If a huband
'loved his own wife as the Christ loved the church,
protecting and cherishing her,' would he not talk to her,
confiding in her and listening to her? Sociologist Jack
Balswick observed: Women expect their spouses to have
the ability to share emotions, to share feelings, to say "I
love you." Yet affection and love are the most difficult
feelings for most men to express. But surely a husband is
aided to do just that when he knows that Jehovah God urges
him to do so, and when he sees that his wife is making the
effort to be 'submissive and adapting herself' to him. No
doubt about it!
Regarding a wife's communication with her husband, a
factor that may bring tension and cause him to be
unresponsive is nagging on her part. The Bible does not
ignore this factor. It offers frank counsel, such as: "Better
to live out in the desert than with a nagging, complaining
wife." (Prov. 21:19, Today's English Version) Further it
says, wisely: As apples of gold in silver carvings is a word
spoken at the right time for it." (Prov. 25:11) It may not be
"the right time for it" just as soon as he gets home from
work, or when he is under some pressure or is absored in
another matter. A wife applying the Bible's advice will
consider such things and will 'adapt herself to her own
husband. This will make conversation more welcome.
Of course, sometimes today a lack of communication
results when one of the mates has been offended or hurt by
the other. In addition to stifling communication, resulting
resentment may affect the couples; sexual relations, or
iheir mutual efforts in handling the budget or in dealing
with each other's relatives.
Does such a situation sound familiar? You probably can
think of couples who have experienced this very thing. It
may have happened even to you. Does the Bible provide
counsel that could be applied to solve this difficulty? It
certainly does. On one occasion Jesus spoke of a person who
was taking some step to please God, but realized that his
brother had something against him. Jesus said: "First
make your peace with your brother, and then, when you
have come back, offer up your gift (to God). Be about
settling matters quickly with the one complaining against
you," (Matt. 5:23-25) How beneficial it is when
married persons too settle matters quickly if one has a
complaint against the other! So, husbands and wives who
accept God's advice do well to try to communicate kindly
with each other about any hurt feelings or offense. This, in
turn, will make for better communication on other matters.
It will increase happiness.
So far, we've considered here just two of the main
problems in marriage those involving headship and
communication. There are other factors that may rob some
marriages of joy: Jealousy, sexual dissatisfaction, in-law
trouble, conflicts about children alcoholism, violent temper
and others. Maybe you feel that one of these is harming
your marriage. The wisest counsel on any of such problems
is found in God's Word. He knows what is best.

week's discussion, please direct them to this newspaper.

ACCEPTING THE
CHALLENGE TO GROW
(II Timothy
1:6-10; 2:1-7)
In his book, The New Man
for Our Time, Dr. Elton
Trueblood makes this
statement, "The only hope
of being contemporary is to
be ' more than
contemporary." The same
author continues, "The man
who is wedded to his time
will soon be a widower."
Man must grow to stay
alive. He may exist without
growth but life demands
room to expand. One of life's
greatest challenges is the
challenge to grow. You don't
have to stay like you are!
For the one who desires to
grow, God has provided
many precious jewels to
hold onto.
Jewels, II Tomothy
1:6-10
The believer has been
given the person, the
presence, the power of the
Holy Spirit to indwell his
life. This precious Gift must
not be neglected. One would
not think of neglecting an
ordinary guest in his home.
How much less should we
neglect the person of the
Holy Spirit!
God has given us the
precious gifts of power,
love, and a sound mind. God
has equipped the believer
with courage. This courage
comes from an awareness of
the presence of the Holy
Spirit within us. It is God's
gift of love that enables us to
love one another, and to love
even our enemies.
The gift of a sound mind

which leads to self
discipline is another gift of
God. With these gifts from
our Creator and Redeemer
how can we be ashamed of
the testimony of our Lord?
God has saved us, and called
us with an holy calling. This
has come to us, not by
human merit or human
strivings, but because God
willed it by His grace. God's
eternal purpose concerning
our redemption was
revealed in the coming of
His Son Jesus Christ. This
was not some after-thought
of God, but was God's plan
before the world began!
The appearing of Jesus
has brought to light the truth
that death is not the end.
Life that goes on throughout
the ages God's kind of life
is the rsult of believing
the Gospel.
The Christian receives his
strength to grow from Christ
Jesus.
Jesus, II Timothy
2:1-2
The apostle Paul reminds
the young preacher Timothy
that he can be strong in the
grace that is in Christ Jesus.
The Christian who wants to
grow must not forget the
Source of his strength. As
the branch cannot bear
fruit, or grow, apart from
the vine, neither can the
Christian grow apart from
Jesus.
Jesus is all and in all for
the Christian. Jesus said,
"Without me ye can do
nothing."
Paul knew that
Timothy would grow in
grace as he shared with

OF THE WEEK
"How does Christian
baptism differ from the
baptism of John the
Baptist?"
ANSWER
The baptism of John was
characterized by
repentance. Christian
baptism has an additional
meaning. It is based upon
what God has done in the
death and resurrection of
Jesus. It is based on an
event the event of the
cross and resurrection.
