What You'll Find Inside Your Bible

Last week I wrote that many Christians try to handle the Bible as if it were God’s great encyclopedia—a topical index of human problems and divine solutions. But you won’t get very far or deep with that strategy. Take marriage, for example. Most of what the Bible has to say about marriage is not found in the passages that explicitly discuss marriage. Using Scripture as an encyclopedia would probably cause you to miss these following passages which pertain to marriage: ... Read More

Your Bible Is Not An Encyclopedia

Many Christians try to handle the Bible as if it was God’s great encyclopedia—a topical index of human problems and divine solutions. If you go to Scripture looking for specific issues, you might not find it explicitly referenced between Genesis and Revelation. (For example, a midlife crisis, teenagers, social media, a global pandemic, and many others). Frustrated and discouraged, many of us look to other sources and choose only to use the Bible’s help when it speaks... Read More

Is Sex An Issue In Your Marriage?

Many Christian marriages are in the midst of some sexual struggle or dysfunction. Many husbands and wives in the church do not experience the beautiful, intimate sexual oneness that God designed. Many professing Christian married men are living a double or secretive life online. Many Christian married women allow their minds to fantasize. And sadly, like Adam and Eve in Genesis 3, many of these brothers and sisters in the faith live in fearful secrecy, silence, and shame. What about you?... Read More

Is Money An Issue In Your Marriage?

Consider this scenario. You’re in the early stages of a conversation with a friend and hear one side of their story. You love them and want to help, and you think you have biblical counsel to offer. But not long after, you discover essential missing details and see the bigger picture. Now you look back at your initial response and wish you had known more about the situation before commenting. Because I have written a book on marriage, my ministry receives questions all the time from... Read More

How to Be Happier in Your Marriage

I don’t know anything about your marriage, but there is one thing I know for sure: your relationship exists in a broken world, and you cannot escape the impact it has on you, your spouse, and your life together. Maybe it means the frustration of living with the low-grade hassles of everyday life. Or perhaps you are facing significant issues that have altered the course of the marriage of your dreams. It’s not an accident that you have to deal with the things you do. Your... Read More

6 Ways to Improve Your Marriage

For some reason, I seem to be drawn to write about things I’m not very good at. Marriage is a prime example. In 2010, I wrote a book entitled “What Did You Expect?: Redeeming the Realities of Marriage”. But to say that Paul Tripp is a marriage expert or that I perfectly live what I write would be untrue. My love of self still gets in the way of my love for God and for Luella. There are still times when I have greater trust in my instincts than I do in God’s wisdom.... Read More

3 Truths About Every Marriage

This year, Luella and I will celebrate 50 years of marriage. When we look back, we are amazed at all that has happened and all that God has done. We love one another dearly, and we are very grateful for our years together. But we know our story isn’t a story of marital success. If you could watch a video of our life together, you would soon realize that we have not figured out how to “win” at this thing called marriage. No, our five decades is the narrative of two people...

How to Experience Fullness of Joy

I live in Philadelphia, and in 2008, the Phillies (our baseball team) won the World Series. Nine years later, the Eagles (our football team) won the Super Bowl. In the aftermath of these victories, the city of Brotherly Love was filled with delight. It was a fantastic feeling and sight to behold. I love sports and celebrating with my family and neighbors, but as powerful and intoxicating as the emotions were in the moment, it was “faux joy,” and it evaporated quickly. It... Read More

Today someone will face a crushing disappointment at work. Maybe it will be you. Perhaps you have experienced one of these blows in the past: Your company gave the promotion you have been working toward for years to someone else Your manager submitted a poor review on your annual performance evaluation A coworker stole credit that you deserved and got rewarded for your hard work Your boss told you that your services were no longer needed, even though you gave yourself to the firm...
