Title: What is a husband to do
Series: The Divine Design (4 of 8)
Primary Scripture: Ephesians 5:22-31
Author: Pastor Jeff Schreve
Have you ever had a responsibility that you didn't know you had? It's a terrible feeling to have a responsibility that you don't know that you have. I have had a recurring dream over the years. I'm on campus at the University of Texas. I'm very close to graduating. It's during finals week. And I see a friend of mine, and he says to me in my dream, "Are you ready for the Chemistry final?"

Because listen, guys, all you married guys, there is a final exam. And one of the questions on the final as we stand before the Lord is, how well did you do this thing called being a husband? You have to prepare for the final. Jesus said this, John 13:17: "If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them." The blessing is not in the knowing; it's in the doing, but you have to know in order to do. If you don't know, then you're not go ...
