Last week I talked about the misconception people have that they will never be lonely again once they find the one. This week we will be discussing the paradox that is “safe-sex.” For some reason we analogize human beings to cars, we have to test-drive a car to make sure it’s a good fit, so …

Last week I talked about relationships, and how we all need to find our purpose. This week I’m going to talk about one of the biggest misconceptions that people have about relationships. Instead of going to God to ask him to fix our problems, we go to people. We expect to find this spectacular relationship …

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about relationships and finding the “one” you want to spend the rest of your life with. I guess I’ve been thinking about it recently because I had been so busy living life that I hadn’t thought about it for so long. I remember I asked a friend one time …
Once you decide to pursue a relationship, then you are committing…and once you “unwrap”…you are committed!
This is why it is important to leave all “unwrapping” to a committed married relationship.
“Those who stand for nothing fall for anything“- Alex Hamilton “Are you him?” “Who?” “Him” “Well I am a ‘him’” “Then you must be ‘him.’ Come along then” I had waited long for him. I had walked slowly, hoping he would catch up, but I finally stopped and waited. I paced and paced hoping that …
From the beginning God made Man- and within man was male and female. They were not separate creatures they were the same creature, just two distinct personalities of the same creature. This is why when two people marry, they become one flesh, just like in the beginning where God saw both personalities but called both of them Adam, because in his sight they were both one, they were both called Adam (not Adam 1 and Adam 2).
And just as the two (man and wife) become one, Christ and the Church also must become one. Marriage is a continuation of our commitment to serve God, to die to our desires and to enjoy the benefits of serving God and others. We must learn to serve, love and care for, our spouses even better than we care for the lost (unconditionally)! Marriage is an honorable thing (Hebrews 13:4) and we should look forward to it (if we are called to it), but let us not forget its purpose.
Many times when we (Christians) expect to hear from God, we think that He will speak in an audible voice and he will say “Mary! stay away from him, or don’t do that!” But most times, God speaks to us in that small still voice. God is spirit, so He speaks to our spirit and our spirit speaks to us. We can hear from God either through a word of knowledge, where we just know something, and it doesn’t make sense that we know it. Other times He can speak through our spirit and we hear it in a first person voice, that we often think that we are speaking to ourselves, not knowing that it is God speaking to us.
