There are many of us who have joined ourselves with people, we have become one flesh with people, who aren’t our spouses, and represent all sorts of complicated feelings and emotions.
That’s where you need to know that grace is always available.

What does the bible say about marriage? Up until 15-20 years ago this was not a "controversial" topic. Everyone knew the answer. Our secular culture continues to send its tsunami waves at our Judeo-Christian heritage, causing great confusion. How are we to think about same-sex marriage? What does the bible say? Before we address those questions we will spend time reviewing what makes a marriage a biblical marriage.
1. The document discusses guidelines for Christian courtship based on passages from the Bible, emphasizing purity and avoiding fleshly behavior.
2. It advises that courtship should not be taken lightly and must follow God's word, noting the risks of courtship outside of God's will.
3. Christians in the courtship stage are called to model godly behavior for society and avoid a "world-friendly" approach to courtship.
God says he will send a messenger to prepare the way for the coming of the Lord. This messenger will cleanse and purify the Levites like refining silver and gold with fire. The Lord, who the people are waiting for, will judge righteously and bring justice against those who do evil, commit adultery, cheat workers, or mistreat strangers, widows and orphans. God declares that he will testify against those who show him no respect.
Lecture made by Sir Jojo Esposa Jr. about his personal experiences regarding Filipino Deaf Culture's perspective on relationships and what the Bible has to say about it.
The document discusses a case of sexual immorality occurring within a Christian congregation, involving a man sleeping with his father's wife. The author expresses disappointment that the congregation has not taken action to discipline this man, and calls on them to expel him so that his spirit may be saved. Additional advice is given around avoiding sexual immorality and greed, as well as resolving disputes within the congregation rather than through outside legal systems. The body is described as a temple for God rather than for immoral acts.
Jesus had a high view of scripture and did not come to abolish it but to fulfill it. He emphasized six key commands about murder, adultery, divorce, oaths, retaliation, and love for enemies. For each command, Jesus explained that outward obedience was not enough and that God looks at inward attitudes of the heart. True obedience requires surpassing what some teachers said and aiming for the perfection that God commands, which is impossible to attain alone.
The document discusses the "Way of Holiness" which is described as walking in obedience to God's commands out of faith and love. Several Bible passages are cited that emphasize walking in holiness through faith, love for God and others, and avoiding putting stumbling blocks before others or becoming a stumbling block through the misuse of freedom. The goal is to please God by living righteously, peacefully and with joy through serving Christ and keeping in step with the Spirit.

Jesus teaches that adultery begins in the heart with lustful intentions and desires. Merely looking at a woman with lust has already committed adultery in one's heart. To avoid sin, one must deal radically with whatever causes them to stumble, even if it is as precious as an eye or a hand. True righteousness comes not by following rules externally but by having a transformed heart through faith in Jesus Christ.
This document discusses what the Bible says about divorce. It notes that marriage is intended to be lifelong, but that divorce is allowed in cases of adultery or abandonment.

This document summarizes Peter and Paul's teachings on boundaries in relationships according to 1 Peter. It discusses their counsel on relationships with the state, work relationships, and marital relationships. It also provides commentary from Ellen White on obeying laws and authorities as long as they don't contradict God, and counsels on marital relationships and labor.
How does a husband truly love his wife? God teaches us that he loves her as Christ loved the church and as his own body. In this lesson, we explore what that means for husbands to do for their wives each day.
1) The document discusses the story in Luke 17 where Jesus heals 10 lepers but only 1 returns to thank Him. It wonders how often we are like the 9 who fail to thank God for what He has done.
2) It encourages taking time each day to make a list of what God has done and comparing how many things we thank Him for.
3) The story shows we must get up and go to Jesus when in need, get out and obey what He says, and get back to thank Him - but most only do the first two.
The document argues that same-sex marriage should not be legalized for three main reasons: 1) The Bible says that homosexuality is detestable and marriage is defined as between a male and female; 2) Legalizing same-sex marriage could lead to legalizing other inappropriate relationships like incestuous or polygamous marriages; 3) God created marriage to be between one man and one woman, and changing this definition goes against religious beliefs. The document uses several Bible verses to support keeping the traditional definition of marriage.
Eph 5_21-33 Biblical Foundation for Marriagehungpham
The document discusses the biblical foundation for marriage as presented in Ephesians 5:21-33. It outlines the wife's role as submission and the husband's role as sacrificial love for his wife, just as Christ loved the church. The ultimate goal of marriage according to the passage is for both spouses to become more like Christ by sacrificing for one another and living in harmony through submission to God. The document suggests looking to God's covenantal love for Israel and Christ's love for the church as the ideal model for marriage.
The document summarizes key passages from Hebrews 13:1-16 about how worship has been simplified under the new covenant in Jesus but remains meaningful. It discusses how the focus is now on relationships with God and others through acts like showing hospitality, caring for prisoners, honoring marriage, and sharing with others. Rituals like sacrifices have been replaced with continual praise and doing good works. The overall message is that true worship is about having an intimate relationship with God and loving others, not just external rituals or rules.
Building a Marriage, Part 4 - What Kind of Relationsihp Do We Build?Pacific Church
This document discusses building marriages based on the gospel. It says that marriage should reflect Christ's relationship to the church. Specifically:
1. Marriage partners should be each other's most loyal friend, providing open criticism and trust, as described in Proverbs.
2. Partners should love each other with the same sacrificial love that Christ showed in laying down his life for the church.
3. The relationship should aim to make each person holy, as Christ does for the church, through supporting each other's spiritual growth.
1. Paul discusses marriage and sexual relations, saying it is good for a man and woman to be married and fulfill their marital duties to each other to avoid sexual immorality.
2. He gives instructions on remaining married or reconciling for believers with unbelieving spouses, and says marriage should not be dissolved for believers except in cases of abandonment by an unbeliever.
3. Paul counsels that both married and unmarried believers should remain in the situations they were in when called by God, whether married, unmarried, slave or free, and to not let their status trouble them.
This document discusses how Christians should live differently than non-believers according to the book of Ephesians. It describes non-believers as having futile thoughts, being darkened in their understanding, having lost sensitivity and given themselves over to impurity and greed. Christians are called to put off their old self and put on the new self. They should walk in purity by controlling their speech, reactions, and relationships. Specific instructions are given regarding anger, theft, and forgiveness.
This document discusses the biblical roles of husbands and wives in marriage. It addresses common negative perceptions of a wife's "submission" and seeks to define it positively. A wife's submission is meant to be an expression of her obedience to Christ, done willingly and thoughtfully. It also examines how the fall disrupted God's original design of male headship and female support, and how Christ's own example of submission can inform how wives live out their role. When both spouses faithfully fulfill their distinct but complementary roles, their marriage can function harmoniously like an elegant dance.
This document discusses the importance of fathers cultivating healthy and balanced children by interweaving the teaching of God's Word into daily home life. It emphasizes that the home is the center and fathers play a key role as homemakers under God's authority and design. A right understanding and exercise of authority depends on submission to God as Father and Christ as the head.
This document discusses 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 and being unequally yoked. It defines being unequally yoked as having a team member unable or unwilling to pull their weight. The passage advises not being yoked together with unbelievers as righteousness and wickedness have nothing in common, nor light with darkness. Believers should separate themselves from unbelievers and remain holy as God's temple.
This document discusses adultery from a biblical perspective. It provides passages from Genesis establishing God's design for marriage as a lifelong union between one man and one woman. Additional passages condemn adultery as a betrayal of the marriage covenant and a sin against one's own body. While adultery is not permissible, the document notes it can be forgiven for those who repent and turn from sin through faith in Jesus Christ. The overall message is that God's plan is for married couples to honor their vows and flee temptation by focusing on spiritual growth and fulfilling their duties to one another.
This document contains summaries and excerpts from several biblical passages. It discusses Paul's prayers for the church in Colossae regarding their faith, love, hope, and knowledge of God's will. It also references Epaphras's prayers for the church. Finally, it provides short quotes about living each day, laughing, loving beyond words, commitment to serving together as a team, and speaking the truth in love.
The document discusses the importance of honoring one's spouse based on the biblical passage of Malachi 2:10-16. It makes two main points: 1) Marrying a foreign spouse or being unfaithful goes against honoring God. 2) Divorcing or mistreating one's spouse is considered treacherous and displeasing to God. It notes high divorce rates today and questions whether this reflects a lack of honoring attitudes. The conclusion encourages husbands to honor their wives so that their prayers will not be hindered, as God is present in marriages.
Marriage is to be held in high regard and kept pure and undefiled. God will judge those who commit sexual immorality such as adultery and engage in sexual relationships outside of marriage. The Bible instructs people to respect marriage, remain faithful to their partners, and avoid casual or illicit sexual relationships.
1 Corinthians 6:12-20 Glorifying God Believers Honor God through holy living....Lazarou Richard
This document contains a summary of 1 Corinthians 6:12-20 from the Bible. It discusses three key points:
1) Verses 12-14 say that while all things may be lawful, not all things are helpful and believers should not be dominated by anything but should honor the Lord with their bodies.
2) Verses 15-17 say that believers' bodies are members of Christ and should not be joined with prostitutes but rather should be joined to the Lord as one spirit.
3) Verses 18-20 instruct believers to flee sexual immorality because their body is a temple of the Holy Spirit and they were bought with a price, so they should glorify God with their body
The document contains several passages from the Bible that use the phrase "Do you not know?" Each passage is highlighting something that Christians should understand, such as being baptized into Christ's death, being slaves either to sin or righteousness, and that friendship with the world is against God.

The document provides a summary and analysis of 1 Corinthians 6:12-20. It discusses four key points:
1) Paul argues that while certain acts may be permissible, they are not helpful for spiritual growth as Christians.
2) Our bodies belong to Christ and should not be used for prostitution.
3) When united with the Lord through faith, we become one spirit with him. Casual sex violates this unity.
4) Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, so we must glorify God through how we use our bodies. The document calls people to repent from misusing their bodies and instead unite with Christ.
The document discusses living by faith and above the line spiritual truths. It presents four spiritual truths: 1) Jesus died and rose again, 2) I died and rose again with Jesus, 3) I am now a new creation in Christ, and 4) Jesus is in me and I am in Him. It questions whether these truths are truly believed. It then discusses how believing that I died and rose with Jesus means I am freed from sin and should no longer be enslaved to it or let it reign, but instead offer myself to God and use my body for righteousness. It encourages talking about what it means to be dead to sin and why it's hard to believe being spiritually dead, and what happens if that truth

Foundation Stone #10: Resurrection of the Dead - SpirituallyRick Bruderick
Every person is born dead - spiritually. When we realize it, we have an opportunity to start over, to be born again.
This is the 12th lesson in this Foundations of Christianity series.
We were born into sin, thanks to Adam and Eve, our ancestors. And to make it worse, we add our own sins to the mess of our lives. But there is a way of escape: Crucify the flesh and be resurrected to new life.

The document summarizes the key points from a SIM LIFE meeting discussion on biblical guidelines for relationships (BGR). Yvonne led the discussion on what the Bible says about dating based on Romans 12:9-10. The discussion covered topics like defining true love by the gospel, marriage displaying Christ's love for the church, discerning the right partner based on being equally yoked with God, and showing brotherly affection honorably within the Christian community. Practical advice was to maximize singleness for God and wait to pursue a relationship until ready for marriage.
1. After being saved, one should consecrate themselves to God by giving their lives fully to Him. This involves becoming a living sacrifice and allowing God to work through you.
2. To consecrate oneself, one must develop an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ and live according to the Spirit rather than the flesh. This involves crucifying sinful desires of the flesh.
3. Additionally, consecrating oneself involves knowing your identity and privileges as a child of God, such as having power over sin and Satan through Christ.

It references passages from the Bible that teach that while gifts may differ, the Spirit and purpose are the same, which is to build up the body of Christ. Each person has been given gifts by God's design and each should recognize their role as important and indispensable to the proper functioning of the church community.

There’s a lot of empty space with people making empty claims about God and Jesus and life and truth, but those quite frankly don’t add up, they sound good, but they’re hollow like this wall, and they can’t support the weight of your life, and if you try to anchor yourself to it, you’ll fall.
This document discusses how Jesus Christ serves as our advocate and the propitiation for our sins. It notes that if we sin, we have an advocate in Jesus, who turned God's righteous anger into favor through his sacrifice. It emphasizes the importance of keeping God's commandments and walking as Jesus walked in order to know that we abide in him.
The Real Deal: The DIY Fake Jesus FilterCompassChurch
If you try to get me to get excited about a Jesus who went 90% of the way, that’s a crappy Jesus. If the Jesus you’re showing me did not completely cover my sin, so that my whole life is now lived in gratitude toward him, then you’ve got a FAKE JESUS.
People will say, "why does God even allow us to disobey him in the first place? Wouldn’t the world be so much better if he didn’t?" But at the same time, it is an opportunity for him to show His redemptive power, which is more than He could have done if we never needed to be rescued in the first place.
11June 2024. An online pre-engagement session was organized on Tuesday June 11 to introduce the Science Policy Lab approach and the main components of the conceptual framework.

Gamify it until you make it Improving Agile Development and Operations with ...Ben Linders
So many challenges, so little time. While we’re busy developing software and keeping it operational, we also need to sharpen the saw, but how? Gamification can be a way to look at how you’re doing and find out where to improve. It’s a great way to have everyone involved and get the best out of people.
In this presentation, Ben Linders will show how playing games with the DevOps coaching cards can help to explore your current development and deployment (DevOps) practices and decide as a team what to improve or experiment with.
The games that we play are based on an engagement model. Instead of imposing change, the games enable people to pull in ideas for change and apply those in a way that best suits their collective needs.
By playing games, you can learn from each other. Teams can use games, exercises, and coaching cards to discuss values, principles, and practices, and share their experiences and learnings.
Different game formats can be used to share experiences on DevOps principles and practices and explore how they can be applied effectively. This presentation provides an overview of playing formats and will inspire you to come up with your own formats.

1.) Introduction
Our Movement is not new; it is the same as it was for Freedom, Justice, and Equality since we were labeled as slaves. However, this movement at its core must entail economics.
2.) Historical Context
This is the same movement because none of the previous movements, such as boycotts, were ever completed. For some, maybe, but for the most part, it’s just a place to keep your stable until you’re ready to assimilate them into your system. The rest of the crabs are left in the world’s worst parts, begging for scraps.
3.) Economic Empowerment
Our Movement aims to show that it is indeed possible for the less fortunate to establish their economic system. Everyone else – Caucasian, Asian, Mexican, Israeli, Jews, etc. – has their systems, and they all set up and usurp money from the less fortunate. So, the less fortunate buy from every one of them, yet none of them buy from the less fortunate. Moreover, the less fortunate really don’t have anything to sell.
4.) Collaboration with Organizations
Our Movement will demonstrate how organizations such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, National Urban League, Black Lives Matter, and others can assist in creating a much more indestructible Black Wall Street.
5.) Vision for the Future
Our Movement will not settle for less than those who came before us and stopped before the rights were equal. The economy, jobs, healthcare, education, housing, incarceration – everything is unfair, and what isn’t is rigged for the less fortunate to fail, as evidenced in society.
6.) Call to Action
Our movement has started and implemented everything needed for the advancement of the economic system. There are positions for only those who understand the importance of this movement, as failure to address it will continue the degradation of the people deemed less fortunate.
No, this isn’t Noah’s Ark, nor am I a Prophet. I’m just a man who wrote a couple of books, created a magnificent website: http://www.thearkproject.llc, and who truly hopes to try and initiate a truly sustainable economic system for deprived people. We may not all have the same beliefs, but if our methods are tried, tested, and proven, we can come together and help others. My website: http://www.thearkproject.llc is very informative and considerably controversial. Please check it out, and if you are afraid, leave immediately; it’s no place for cowards. The last Prophet said: “Whoever among you sees an evil action, then let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then, with his heart – and that is the weakest of faith.” [Sahih Muslim] If we all, or even some of us, did this, there would be significant change. We are able to witness it on small and grand scales, for example, from climate control to business partnerships. I encourage, invite, and challenge you all to support me by visiting my website.

Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make
them members of a prostitute? Never! 16 Or do you not

one flesh.” 17 But he who is joined to the Lord becomes
one spirit with him.

and gave himself for me.

and the two shall become

cistern, running water from your

squares? Let them be yours
alone, never to be shared with
