Redeeming Church Conflicts

Practical Shepherding

Challies.com introduced me this morning to a great new blog that I’m looking forward to reading regularly:

Practical Shepherding

This article alone was worth my time popping over this morning:

How Do You Care for a Wife Hurt by Her Husband’s P*ornography Struggle?

(I use the * to try to avoid unpleasant SPAM comments from searchers for that word.)

I was most challenged by his last point (encouraging her to pursue her husband) because, although I have not had this exact struggle in my own marriage (thank God), I surely have had other struggles. Really, really hard struggles. Struggles that have tempted me to pull BACK from Fred, rather than to draw CLOSER to him. (Because when we’re really hurt, isn’t drawing closer the very last thing we want to do?)

 

Hope you enjoy Pastor Croft’s blog. And thanks again, Challies.com for introducing us all to so many wonderful resources.

Off into our co-op day now!

Blessings and joy,
Tara B.
