SS Text for the week - Psalm 51 | Song of Songs 2 | Acts 18 | Romans 16
Nothing helps keep a marriage strong like keeping short accounts. In the same way bringing your sins to God in repentance quickly is a good spiritual habit, so is facing your spouse to confess wrongdoings when they happen. Avoiding pain is a poor motivation for harboring sins and anger. There will always be pain when sin is involved. The question is, how much pain are we willing to tolerate?
Think about it like this..... You know discomfort is in your future, but you prolong the inevitable. Worse than that, you risk permanent damage to your body, greater expense, and a longer recovery. Just like a ship's captain makes innumerable, minute corrections with the wheel to keep his vessel on course, so a regular habit of confession and forgiveness helps a marriage move straight ahead.
Psalm 51 deals with David's gross sins of adultery and murder, and so we may find it difficult to relate in the ordinary struggles of our lives. But the same principals apply.
Have you read Song of Solomon this week? If not, take time to at least read the text of chapter 2 before class this week.
We have 2 texts from both Testaments to discuss this week.
Pray for one another and remember those that have asked for specific prayers this week.
God Bless !!! See you Sunday.

SS Text for the week - Scriptures: Matthew 5:27-30, Proverbs 5:15-21, Proverbs 6:25-32
Adultery, Sex, and Marriage.
Rather than provide you with "pre-loaded" questions for the week I would prefer you study the text and pray about it. We will discuss it from there. Remember to pray for each other and pray for the lesson and services this week.
See you Sunday.
Fwd: Important Message from Johnny Hunt

Dear Brother,
I am sending you a link to the interview that Dr. Ronnie Floyd did recently with the editor of the state newpaper in Oklahoma. It clarifies a lot of things on the Great Commission Resurgence Report on which our committee has been working diligently for the past year. There has been much misunderstanding and many unwarranted criticisms about what we have prepared. I believe with all my heart God led me and the committee to present the report, in the form it is now, to our convention next month in Orlando. I believe it is what our denomination needs for such a time as this. I have this conviction deep in my heart and I wanted you to hear that from me. I would also encourage you go to pray4gcr.com and listen to the 5 minute video there.
Here is where you come in. Will you make every effort to attend the SBC in Orlando and bring as many messengers with you to support the GCR report that will be presented on Tuesday afternoon after the Presidential election? I need you to do so.
I look forward to seeing you there and I pray God's blessings on you. If you are unable to attend as a Messenger yourself, please help send your Pastor and those who will go with him as messengers.
By the way, we look forward to seeing you soon and I hope you will go to timothybarnabas.org and register for one of the three Timothy Barnabas Pastors schools this fall. Registrations are coming in quickly and we want to hear from you as well. This will undoubtedly be our "biggest and best" Timothy Barnabas School and I want you to join us for this special time. If you want a brochure and did not get one mailed to you, or you want additional ones, call Star Lee at 678-494-2640 or email her at star.lee@fbcw.net and we will get it right out to you. Help us spread the word.
Dr. Johnny M. Hunt
