As it is in the spirit realm, so it is in the natural realm. In my opinion, they are two sides of the same coin. Here's what I mean...

We have so many children being born without a dad to properly love, nurture, and reflect God to them. Similarly, we see so many Christians being converted, but the church remains lax in its discipleship efforts. Discipleship takes time. As a result, there's a definite neglect of any spiritual fathering taking place.

We see so many wars being fought all over the planet, not to mention riots among civilians. This tells me there's a great spiritual war being fought as well.

We've observed the problem of obesity in America, which tells me we are a very carnal nation, feeding our flesh man while neglecting our spirit man.

A.W. Tozer said, “A real Christian is an odd number anyway.” The Apostle Peter addresses us as “aliens and strangers in the world” (1 Peter 2:11). What a strange thing to say to creatures that bleed red and are standing on planet Earth. We’re not extraterrestrials, for crying out loud. So if we’re not from here, then where are we from?

Mr. Happy, the silent half of the Happy couple, speaks out this month in Man Cave, our newest column. Next month we’ll feature another guest columnist exploring everything important to a man’s heart.

Hmmm. Now this is an interesting subject—“How to Satisfy a Woman.” And you might think my answer is all about sexual fulfillment. Well, it isn’t. But then again, it is. Read on.

The real topic for us Christian men should be “How to Satisfy Your Wife.” Because this is not about a woman; it is about the woman God blessed you with.

I’m going to be honest here. I get annoyed with going to men’s groups and hearing guys joke or whine about how their wife is a burden or how she doesn't consider their needs or doesn't listen to them. All I can say is grow up. Take charge of the situation.
