[4. One that ruleth (manages) well his own house, having his children in subjection (under control) with all gravity; 5. For if a man know not how to rule his own house (family), how shall he take care of the church of God?]

I Timothy Chapter 3   This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop (an overseer) he desireth a good (excellent) work.  2. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach.  3. Not given (prone) to wine, no striker (scrapper), not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;  4. One that ruleth (manages) well his own house, having his children in subjection (under control) with all gravity; 5. For if a man know not how to rule his own house (family), how shall he take care of the church of God?

This chapter of I Timothy  came to mind when I read your post.  

Thank you so much for holding us up to the Lord, I too will hold you and yours up.


And I'll take you up on your email offer.

I understand, my husband was a nonbeliever too, until some tragic events in our lives came about.  It's amazing when no one else can help, Jesus always can.  My husband found this out.  Read my post under prayer requests, regarding our daughter Angela.  This was the life changing event I'm speaking off.  We are still going through it, but it's awesome to know Jesus is on our side.

I'll pray for your husband, if that's okay?

Here's one.   I'm new to this site.  Are either of you married?  I'm married with 2 children, boy and girl, 21 and
17.
