Crushed by a crush
Success of marriage is not finding right person but being right person
Success marriage formula: there is no way out
Samson had a crush on Delilah (ended up without eyes)
David had a crush on Bathsheba (ended up being crushed)
Amnon had a crush on Tamar (ended up dead)
Your crush will crush you if you wouldn’t crush it
Let the redeemed of the Lord dress so
Clothes to cover not to reveal
Dress beautifully not hot
Dress modestly not fashionably (1 Tim.2:9)
Modesty – not too tight, not too short, not too long and not too baggy
You are telling us how to treat you by the way you dress
Guys don’t want to marry girls they flirt with
Don’t go after a guy that wants to marry your body
If you love me you would…if you would love me you would never ask this question in first place
Never stir up the emotions of the opposite gender you that you are unable to meet (Song 2:7)
God is a restoring Father (Luke 15:11-32)
True love waits
How will you love them in marriage knowing their weakness and body if you don’t love them enough to wait for them?
Love waits while lust doesn’t
The right thing at the wrong time is the wrong thing
The only thing worse than waiting is wishing that you had
I could always become like you but you will never ever become like me
Shopping without money is stealing
Premature attachments are distracting
Every premature crush draws your heart away from the Lord
How does God feel when you are drawing someone He loves from Him? (Martha and Mary)
If you want to defeat someone distract them
Satan doesn’t care if you flirt with God. But God cares desperately if you flirt with the devil
The best thing is putting a millstone around the neck, what would be the worst thing (Mark 9:42)
God will not bring miracle to destroy attachment but will help to starve it
Starvation is less painful then growth of premature attachment
God that helped you in the past will not forsake you in the present
If you can’t quit on your own that doesn’t mean it’s of God
God will not give you what you want unless what you want is what you need
What you want/hope/desire will come, but will you be ready for it?
Instead of saying God bring them to me you’re saying I will bring them to you
The only reason why you don’t have it yet is became you are not ready, so if you really want it get more serious about your preparation
God doesn’t know what the best is for me – “my thoughts are higher then His”
God doesn’t want the best for me - “Jesus came to steal, kill and destroy”; since when God became greedy and Satan giving?
God takes away everything I finally like – God’s love doesn’t only brings blessings but also takes away curse; Abraham’s son; rich man’s possession
I may not understand everything about God but God’s wisdom I will not question
