"Wise as serpents" in Matthew 10:16 doesn't use the normal Greek word for wise, but phronimos, which probably implies an awareness of the hazards and schemes of others rather than scheming of one's own.
Wary as serpents and uncomplicated as doves. In other words, be wary of the cunning of unbelievers but don't emulate them. Deal honestly with all, don't take the offensive, and don't engage in dishonest political maneuvering. Verses 17-20 explain what Yeshua meant.
Unless the LORD builds the house, they labor in vain who build it.

Hi everyone,
In an effort to engage in some topical discussion, I'm reaching out to those who are in ministry and have or who are having contention within their marriages. Often we find that spouses can disagree on the path that they both must walk, especially if one is not seeking to walk the same path at all or is showing signs of unbelief. These paths can differ drastically and often the difference in not seeking the same goals or vision can create much strain on the relationship.
How has or is the Lord guiding you through this time?
Is it justified to consider separation if the pressure becomes too great?
When is it time to consider a change?
How have you reached a compromise?
Should a person called to ministry consider laying it down for the sake of the marriage?
What if the spouse just does not agree to the call of ministry on your life?
Just some of the questions to consider.
Please contribute to the discussion.
I look forward to hearing from you.
