Chapel Class Devotional Notes: My Sister, My Bride (Song 4:12) (2012-2013)

Question: How am I to relate to young ladies now? And when I wish to pursue marriage?

Personal Perspective
* Home and School

* Stories

What do you already know of sisters and brides?

Original Perspective

• Created good. 
• Dragon in the Garden. 
• Man's Intended Role: Defender, protector, tender. The Bible uses words like "cherish, nourish, provide, bless" for actions a husband should have toward his wife. 
• Examples:
• Abraham: Genesis 18:19 ff. He will teach his children to keep the way of the Lord.
• Samson, David, etc.
• Proverbial Reminders. Bad advice is bad company and corrupts good character. Prov. 4; Prov. 5. Keep strength, honor, wealth, and authority.
• You are building your future today.

Devotion for 2011: Toward a Disciplined Imagination

1. Hiking...




Chip Ingram taught us to be R12 or Romans 12 teachers:
12:2 "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." This renewal is a purification of the imagination. Notice the discipline.
