Forever Marriage Podcast Scott & Dawn Smith

In Season 4 Episode 17 of the Forever Marriage Podcast, we conclude this series with the final One Another of Scripture - Forgive One Another. In Ephesians 4:32, Paul says, "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ forgave you." The measuring stick for how we are to forgive is how God forgave us. SO in this episode we talk about what forgiveness IS NOT and what forgiveness IS. Consider as you listen to today's episode: Is there are partic...

In Season 4 Episode 16 of the Forever Marriage Podcast, we continue to talk about Scripture's imperative to love one another, and specifically about love's empowerment and love's teacher. 1 Thessalonians 3:12 says, "and may the Lord cause you to increase and abound in love for one another, and for all men, just as we also do for you." Can you recall a time when you knew with certainty that God was empowering your ability to love someone that was unlovely? Love is based on His love for us...

In Season 4 Episode 15 of the Forever Marriage Podcast, we continue our talk about Scripture's imperative to love one another. We started this conversation in the previous episode, but we pick back up with it in today's episode. As we can see in Scripture, love is a command and not a suggestion. Why would Jesus command us to love one another? What does this mean for marriage? We talk about how it can be a challenge to love sometimes. But love is based on Christ's example, and not whether...

In Season 4 Episode 13 of the Forever Marriage Podcast, we cover the last 3 ways of the 10 ways to outdo one another in showing honor. First, we talk about seeking the good for one another. Out of honor for God and honor for your spouse, can you seek their good? Next, we talk about stimulating one another to love and good deeds. Familiarity in marriage can breed complacency and indifference, so we must give some forethought for how we can stimulate, or spur on, one another. Finally...

In Season 4 Episode 12 of the Forever Marriage Podcast, we talk about not judging one another. In Romans 14:13, Paul says, "Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather determine this - not to put an obstacle or a stumbling block in a brother's way." We tend to judge those who don't think, believe, feel, act or behave the way we do. Why is that? Oftentimes, we are uncomfortable with differences. We also talk about praying for one another. James 5:16 says, "Therefore, confes...
