| 17.8 | Any thoughts to offer? | RT95::STELIN | | Sun Dec 05 1993 14:13 | 27 |
| I've got some thoughts...while at church one Sunday, the priest
mentioned that in some cases, single people are closer to God because
they don't have the sometimes hectic schedules/dealings with family.
They don't have a family or a partner to take them away from constant
contact or total devotion with God.
Now I disagree somewhat because you can be a family or be in a
relationship and be highly religious too.
What I'm getting at is I've been single for some time now and am very
close to God but I would like to meet other people, friends, who
believe in God.
I've recently meet lots of new people and I know it takes a while to
get to know someone but if I met some people from this file, at least
I'd know they were on the right track to start off with.
Not that I'm saying the new people I've met aren't. I don't know yet.
I think sometimes I'm there to plant the seed.
I did found out someone already in the group was very involved in the
church and the impressions I got is that he is mocked by some of the
others.
I don't know if this is the right crowd to be hanging around with.
any thoughts to offer?

I think the keywords here are, "in some cases". It doesn't apply to
all. I do agree with you that one can be in a relationship or be in a family
and have everyone be close to God.

If I were you I woudn't let others decide this for you. This is
something that you should be talking to God about. You know how YOU view this
person, and you have a general idea how some of the others feel about her. But
do you know how God feels about her? If you leave it in God's hands, He will
show you the correct path that should be taken. If you leave it for everyone
else to decide, then you're letting humans control a decision that can only be
made by someone infallible, God.

I'm single (with kids who live with their mom). I'd like to think I'm
close to God, but I know I can be closer. I have a hectic schedule, mostly
with church stuff but my relationship with Christ must come first. That
goes for a family as well. If the schedule is too hectic to squeeze God in,
the schedule needs adjustment.
Seek ye first the Kingdom of God..
>They don't have a family or a partner to take them away from constant
>contact or total devotion with God.
Family should not take them away from contact or devotion to God..it should
draw them closer to God..Yes, people get busy and there are distractions..
but I'd question what it is that causes one to spend less time with God.
> I don't know if this is the right crowd to be hanging around with.
> any thoughts to offer?
That's hard to say without having a bit more information. However, I
would thinkn if you are wondering, perhaps your concern is valid. Will
they hinder your relationship with Christ? Will they cause you to stumble,
put you in situations where there is temptation? I recently experienced
the loss of a friendship because of a stand I took for Christ..there are
times we have to do that..

| 17.11 | Choosing A Mate, some ideas | JULIET::MORALES_NA | Sweet Spirit's Gentle Breeze | Wed Sep 14 1994 19:55 | 103 |
| Introduction
-------------
Ephesians 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as
unto the Lord.
23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the
head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives
be to their own husbands in every thing.
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church,
and gave himself for it;
Ever ask yourself the question about what qualities God would have in
your mate? After all he's created this union to be one flesh and we
all now how personalities differ.
I've asked myself this question and hope that you will find some
wisdoms in this exercise.
CHOOSING A MATE
The book of Proverbs is rich in qualities that your mate should
possess. This holds true for both sexes. Specifically some very good
examples are in Proverbs 1:5,8,10,15 listed below:
Proverbs 1:5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a
man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
8 My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the
law of thy mother:
10 My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
15 My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from
their path:
I think these are fairly self explanatory and would really like to list
for you what I found in Proverbs in my study.
1. Choose a Saved Person
Amos 3:3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
2Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers:
for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what
communion hath light with darkness?
2. Baptized [shows obedience to God]
3. Spiritual - When talking with your potential mate/date does the
conversation often turn to spiritual topics? Do you talk about God's
word and its Truths. The verse below commands us to seek God first,
does your potential mate show this characteristic. It is evident in
their service to God, their commitment to seeing others come to know
Him and their willingness to support their church.
Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his
righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
4. Reputation
This doesn't necessarily someone who has just been squeaky clean all
their lives. Someone's reputation could be that of a sinner come home.
The verse below states that the day of one's death is more important
than the day of one's birth. Why is that? Because when one dies their
reputation is all that is left for others to recall.
Ecclesiastes 7:1 A good name is better than precious ointment; and the
day of death than the day of one's birth.
5. Accomplishments
Have they paid off a car. Have they built or participated in a
ministry of their church. Have they balanced a check book.
Seems like trivial things, but much of the time marital struggles are
about financial issues. Know the character of your potential mate's
fiscal abilities.
6. Responsibility - Do they finish things they start? How is their
follow through?
7. Mature
8. Response to Authority
Proverbs 9:9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a
justman, and he will increase in learning.
Proverbs 12:1 Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that
hateth reproof is brutish.
9. How they speak about their Parents
10. Enjoyable, not a bore
11. Compatibility
12. Communication
13. Similar upbringing
14. How they treat Children

I was just reminded of two jokes my pastor has about single women.
He's a nut case, but we love him anyway! One time my friend Laurie
and I came into Wednesday night bible study just as Andy was going
to start teaching therefore we were open game for ridicule. He told
everybody that our 2 favorite verses were:
If any man would come after me, let him.
and this one he said we quoted to the guys in our singles group...
I would not have you my ignorant brother. ;')
I don't believe you need references on these as I'm sure you all
realize...these are not scriptural. :-}
