Slides: Lesson 8
Love the Lord God with all your heart and love your neighbor as yourself.
Matthew 22:38 Jesus – Greatest Commandment
Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things will be added unto you.
Matthew 6:33
Singleness
Pursuit in life should not be marriage but singleness
Singleness is defined as: Whole, separate, unique
Marriage is the 2nd level of God’s building blocks
God does not save groups
Preoccupied with God’s purpose (magnetic!)
People want a “garden experience” outside the “garden system”
Affirm calling of singleness. Loneliness not call to marriage. Lonely and married.
Do not pressure singles to marry. Never prophesy a mate!
The only people God puts together are 2 people with the Holy Spirit within them. Everyone else man marries.
Love does not keep a marriage together. Singleness does. Not half of someone.
An omlete is only as good as the eggs. One bad egg ruins the omelet.
Making Eve
Adam was totally whole. God took Eve out of him
God did not say It is not good for this man to be single
Adam was totally consumed with his purpose. God had to put him to sleep
No where in the bible is it commanded to marry
God presented Eve. Adam chose Eve
Helper – complementary, suitable, complement him and be complemented by him
