We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

There's no gridlock with God…no stalemate…no tie game. If a husband and wife have talked things out, but cannot come to agreement on a matter, the Bible teaches that the husband's authority prevails. By divine design God has entrusted to the husband leadership and authority with which to wisely and lovingly rule the household. The husband is not guaranteed the smartest decisions-but God does expect him to exercise leadership in the home and to have the power to veto (break up an impasse with his vote). However, this does not give him the right to be arrogant and to flaunt his authority, or to run roughshod over other family members' feelings. He has no right to refuse to listen to his wife, to withdraw from confrontational discussions, to act in anger, or to act in a non-understanding way (1 Peter 3:7). He has no right to exasperate his children or anyone else in the family. He must love his wife even as Christ loves the church and gave Himself up for it. Because of the Biblical doctrine of ';male headship,' I place (and I believe God places) the brunt of the responsibility for family growth, happiness, and harmony, upon the husband. Since he is the one entrusted with leadership, he is the one chiefly responsible for leading the family towards the goal of Christlikeness (Peter Wise).

Sex in Scripture is holy, normal, right, proper and good… There is nothing wrong with sex; and marriage, indeed, is the proper framework for the expression of it. Sex according to Scripture, is not unholy of itself, but only when it is misused. It ought never to be used outside of the covenant bond. It should be used freely within this structure. God has so ordained. God strongly encourages sexual relations.

    Fractures broken bones

    • FRACTURES ===========================

    Fractures (broken or cracked bones) may be either open or closed. Open fractures (also known as compound fractures) have a wound at or near the place where the bone is fractured. Closed fractures (simple fractures) have no wound at or near the fracture. Closed fractures are more common. An X-ray is the only certain way to find out if a bone has been broken, but there are symptoms:

    • severe pain at the site of the fracture and when the injured part is moved
    • extreme tenderness of the fracture; touch gently as you examine the victim
    • noticeable deformity of the injured part compared to the uninjured side; if a fracture is suspected, compare the injured side to the uninjured side.
    • swelling
    • bruising
    • obvious sharp edges of the bones
    • immobility of the injured part

    To treat a fracture,

    1. Immobilize the fracture. Do this before any attempt is made to move the victim unless further danger is imminent. DO NOT try to straighten fractured limbs.
    2. The best way to prevent movement of a fractured limb is to secure it to the body. Use splints only if both legs have been broken.
