The name of Jesus, who saves His people from their sins, denotes all the power of the mighty Creator Himself. Jesus gives believers the authority to serve, work, and pray in His name when we do so, believing in Jesus’ saving power and desiring God’s will. Jesus, with the authority of the Father, exercised power to save sinners, and His name is the only name we can call on for salvation (Acts 4:12). As adopted sons and daughters into God’s family, Christians experience God’s saving grace through faith in the Person of Jesus. When we call on Him, we participate in His power and find that “the name of the LORD is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe” (Proverbs 18:10).

Our Triune God knows relationships more than any mortal expert.  

When I am more interested in the other person than in presenting myself as interesting when I listen to understand and not just to reply, how many more relationships could I nurture? How many angry altercations could I avoid? How many more people would see the light of Jesus in me?

Self-talk is a mechanism of our reasoning that includes mental dialogues that can be quite complex. The dialogue can originate solely within our mind, or be influenced by external experiences or discussions. Sometimes, these dialogues are pleasant, and sometimes not. And they can approximate reality or be pure fantasy. 

Though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. (2 Cor 10:3-5)

The Power of the Tongue

We must make no mistake about it: though one of the smaller parts of our body, our tongue is one of the most powerful forces for good or evil in our marriage.

Indeed, the book of Proverbs teaches us that “death and life are in the power of the tongue” (Proverbs 18:21).

A father’s lived-out example is not to be minimized. Fathers, as do mothers, set visible examples for their sons to imitate (1 Corinthians 4:15–16). Neither do we minimize the influence of a mother’s counsel, as Lady Wisdom to her husband and sons. But as the heavenly Father himself demonstrates in his declaration to and about his Son — “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased” — we fathers must reckon with the remarkable power of our words.

The father in the Parable of the Prodigal Son awaited his son's return. In fact, “while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him” (Luke 15:20). He runs to his wayward son, embraces him, and kisses him. In Jesus’ day, it was not customary for a grown man to run, yet the father ran to greet his son, breaking convention in his love and desire for restoration (verse 20). The returning son begins his prepared speech (verse 21), but his father cuts him off and begins issuing commands to honor his son—the best robe, the best ring, the best feast! The father does not question or lecture his son; instead, he joyfully forgives him and receives him back into fellowship.

Beloved Son - Part 3 (Elder Brother - Prodical)

Jesus tags the elder brother's description to drive the point home that the younger brother wasn’t the only one who showed disregard for the father. Both sons were “lost.” They were equally in need of being found.

Beloved Son - Part 2 (Younger Brother - Prodical)

People who live large portions of their lives apart from God still get the same love and forgiveness from God that we all get. They still get the party. But they don’t bring the memories. They don’t get the history. They don’t get the fellowship that comes only with building a relationship through time and trials. And this fellowship is worth more than any amount of parties.

Matthew, Mark, and Luke, each in their own way, accent the father’s love for his son (Matthew 17:15; Mark 9:22, 24; Luke 9:38, 42). However, in all three Gospels — this is no small detail — the account of Jesus rescuing this father’s demonized son follows immediately on the heels of the transfiguration, which has the heavenly Father’s declaration about his Son at its heart.

We can discuss our disagreement face to face, perhaps over coffee, and try to understand each other’s viewpoints. Or we can set up an appointment at the Roman Colosseum and invite a horde of strangers to watch us fight it out. 

By committing to interact with humility and kindness, we will get out of the Holy Spirit’s way—so we can all move toward deeper relationships, repentance, and faith.
