There’s power in the name of Jesus. So much so, that when we focus on Him and on magnifying His name, our perspective changes. We will realize that the problems in our lives will become smaller, in comparison to the light of His glory.
Before you make a commitment in a relationship, you should really consider some facts about the person with whom you are seeking a relationship. Pastor Ford will urge us to quit making deep commitments to shallow people. According to him, there’s too many who are making Mercedes investments into “hooptie” people. Find out what the means on today’s Treasured Truth.
The perfect guy will be someone in whom Jesus is resident and through whom the power of the Holy Spirit can be observed. So, he has the residency of Christ, and he has transparency. We’ll also see that he has security and liberty. Pastor Ford asks, “What else could you want in a man?” Learn more on today’s Treasured Truth.
Nowadays, women often find themselves in relationships with men who don’t really think it’s important for dating to lead to marriage. This seems to be acceptable within today’s popular culture. But as we consider some Biblical principles of dating and relationships, Pastor Ford explains that if a man will not be accountable to anyone, and will not give you his last name, then he won’t be responsible as somebody to be in a relationship with.
We’ll hear more of Pastor Ford’s description of the perfect guy, based on Genesis 2, and we’ll see that this person has respiration from God—God breathed in him and gave him the breath of life. The perfect guy also has revelation—he’s a man of the book. And, he has a relationship given by God. These are just a few of the characteristics we’ll learn today as we look at how to identify the perfect guy.
