It’s Not Good For Man To Be Alone

Genesis 2:18 ESV

18 Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.”

We were meant for relationship

The power of an invitation

Luke 10:25-37 Do this and you will live.

Activity and time with one another develop relationship.

The following excerpt from EntreLeadership by Dave Ramsey is a great example of the power of relationships on teams:

“One of the largest, strongest horses in the world is the Belgian draft horse. Competitions are held to see which horse can pull the most and one Belgian can pull 8,000 pounds. The weird thing is if you put two Belgian horses in the harness who are strangers to each other, together they can pull 20,000 – 24,000 pounds. Two can pull not twice as much as one but three times as much as one. This example represents the power of synergy. However, if the two horses are raised and trained together they learn to pull and think as one. The trained, and therefore unified, pair can pull 30,000 – 32,000 pounds, almost four times as much as a single horse.”

Longer- with good relationships live longer

Unfortunately, we are moving too fast to notice those who are right around us. who need a good neighbor.

Allowing others to help us. Allowing them to help preserves their dignity.

Where did they grow up, car they drive, hobbies,

In depth info about each person.

We don’t do it because we don’t have time.

things will settle down some day.
