This morning's Bible study was focused on a call to redemption within our marriages. Redemption is restoring what is broken. Just as God has shown us grace and mercy in redeeming us from our sins, we must also be willing to show that same grace and mercy to our wives (and even to others). If God can forgive us for ALL our sin, can we not forgive someone who may have done something to us (no matter how big or small)? We all have been in some type of conflict before with our spouse or another person and we all have allowed pride to get in the way of reconciliation and redemption.
We are all in desperate need of Christ's redemption. The redemption we receive from Christ should ignite a life change in us that is obvious enough to inspire others. If redemptive life change is not a part of your story, you are not going to be able to lead in the home! We must live out and walk in the forgiveness and redemption we receive from God. We must model the power of redemption by being willing to forgive. We must ask for forgiveness when we are at fault. We all "goof" up in our lives and in our marriages, but redemption allows us to be free to lead and free to fail.
The last question we were sent home with today was: What do you need to do to create a more redemptive environment in your home?

Chris, thanks for the comment(s) on my blog. Gerri and I are very excited about our trip to Bama this weekend and of course the Iron Bowl. Sorry I wasn't able to come up with any tickets this season, but they have been few and far between and extremely pricey.
Understand that you know Jon Peeples, head of our home group. Small world. When you coming to NewSpring for a visit?
Happy Thanksgiving and ROLL TIDE ROLL!
Hey Chris, don't have any email addy for you, so have to respond thru your blog.
We are also very proud of the Tide. Our season far exceeded expectations. It killed us to miss the SEC Game (in person anyway) but we had already committed to running Kiawah.
My wife and I had planned on attending the Sugar Bowl, but after looking at the total cost, have decided it makes the most sense for us to watch it on TV. Between tickets, hotel, rental car, airfare, etc we would have dropped about $2,000. That will pay for my Pride Tide and Season tickets for next year.
With my wife going to Law School next year, we have to watch expenses. Plus, we have been to New Orleans a few times and could really care less about going back. If we were playing for the NC in Miami, we would have been there no matter the cost!
Hope all is well with you and your family. Please stay in touch and feel free to email me directly at ctbamafan@aol.com.
Glad you liked the Hey Mister blog. It was an "interesting" experience.
Roll Tide!
