God says you are qualified for marriage when you can teach woman the Word. Qualifications for marriage: not age, not work, not independence.

Where did you hear this?

God is your first love & your first relationship. Doesn’t end. Stay faithful.

A sermon. A lot of recent posts I'm just pulling from sermon notes

The church group has been going really well. Last night was a disaster. It's the same 'one person dominates the table' trope, which hurts other's ability to flourish.
First it's happened since I've been part of the group since June so maybe it's a 1-off.

Maybe the particularly negative people are right: maybe I should just move on.

It happened 2 times, once on different days. (not the situation above, I'm talking about something else here)

It reminds me how the Jews were expecting the Messiah was going to overthrow Rome w/ a large army & establish a world kingdom right then & there

B/c what we are expecting isn't what we get.

Even as children of God

When this happens it's hard to be yourself b/c everyone's 'fighting' for the spotlight, trying 'to be themself.' So you back off. Then everyone wonders why you're not doing it like them. Then it makes you upset b/c they're wondering why you're not doing it like them. & it spirals out of control bad. I've seen it happen many times like this.

I've noticed decrease the number of people at a table or people involved, & I do better b/c it creates a hole that needs to be filled. I can be myself b/c there's a hole I can fill that's missing. Increase the number of people, there's no hole for me to fill, no way I can be myself.

My heart desires a church girl so much

I did good in the Group this past Sunday. I don't know what was wrong last week but it's better now. People have bad days, it happens. It's no excuse, but genuine people understand mercy & grace.

It's very sad.

It makes me feel something is wrong with me

It makes me think people told me I will be one lied to me. "You're ready." "It'll happen soon." "You will!" Nope. It's not for everybody It's heartbreaking

I understand salvation is most important, but we are still asked to live on the world & God still gives good gifts while we are on the world - in addition to salvation. so it's okay to desire gifts & have dreams.

God asks for Adam, God says Adam is the one responsible! The man is responsible. Get the man out, everything is destroyed
