Wonderful sermon for those married and looking to get hitched. We as men might not have achieved these qualities, but we must never give up to measure up to them. We always must work at this with God’s help. When you blow it, get back up and shake the dust off! I’ve been married for 45 years, so listen very closely to this pastor’s instructions. It will save you many heartaches in life!!

I just praise God for this true, Born-again, Bible-believing, Jesus-loving leader of his church! We need more preachers like him, who are willing to step on our toes a bit, so we can truly hear what God says and not what our feelings think they should be. I am so thankful that the Lord led me to this channel! He teaches the true WORD, which isn’t typically taught in today’s heretical, prosperity-driven, ecumenical one-world unity churches, which is so sad. I would give anything to have a church like his near where I live in Michigan. We need a Revival in our hearts and in our ways of apostasy these days! Listen to this wonderful man, he is the real deal and he is teaching Jesus! ❤️

The sad irony there is that the early church read and studied the Word first and then worshiped as a natural outpouring of adoration in response to that knowledge. Today’s church uses artificial means to manipulate people’s emotions to “prepare” them to be willing to learn about their Creator. 💔💔

@@touchofgrace3217 we should always be giving thanks, for this is the will of God. There are no emotions that need be manipulated for those who truly follow Jesus. Now if you are in Grace ... why so technical and harsh on a youth group? The world watches and if Christians have divisions among Christians then what happens to the lost? Shouldn't we be more concerned about showing Jesus to a lost sick and dying world?

@@servingjesussinnersavedbyg8456 I did not speak harshly of anyone. I merely expressed my sadness in how the church in general has turned away from authentic worship and seems to have lost its understanding of what true worship is. It is interesting that what I see as sad you classify as harsh. Or maybe it is that speaking the truth is what you consider harsh.

@@touchofgrace3217 there is nothing wrong w a truth spoken harshly if it is a good word that is true and solid. That you say you are sad, I can relate to that but isn't that the "feeling" of emotions? That is a subjective opinion. Now when I was a Catholic or Lutheran at one time there was an order of service. Religion has order and ritual. These kids are relating to God and each other. What they do in song, word, instrument is serving. When they serve, they worship. It just appeared that you were sad because things were done outside your comfort zone or box. May we all grow out of our pretty and neat understandings of what we think is right, and let God grow and stretch us to forgive one another when we trespass into areas that we could be wandering in without much thought. Invitation to one may be intrusion for another. Be at peace and walk in grace. God is big enough to see these kids hearts.

Key take away thought - if he/she disregards authority now (don't tell me what to do, or how to do it) what makes you think they will regard and submit to such later? I will take that one step further - if you become unfaithful before your time, what makes you think you can trust him or her then during and while you are married. For past track records have a way of showing themselves again. If you have no trust, you have nothing. This is a very painful if not excruciating lesson to learn so pay attention and count your blessings to what Costi is trying to tell you, your eternal life may depend on it.

Peter Pan syndrome is right on, not made up ~ there is nothing worse than being married to a 32-year-old who insists on being 4 or 6 years old. Marry a man, marry a woman, not a self-centered child who wants his mommy or her daddy to please their every whim and desire. Better to have these hard words now, than to actually live them later, and hear them from the one you thought would forever love you. Pastor Darryl has a good t-shirt for us in the Tuesday class from Ecclesiastes. "Don't Destroy Yourself, Why Ruin Your Life"? I think if you stop by his office, he is taking orders and sizes for it now. But you get the gist.

Another tidbit to consider - if a man puts you on a pedestal (and you do not see the same devotion to God) for his sake and yours, put on your Nike's, and like Forrest Gump run!!! For if a many is willing to lose himself and give up who he is to please you to his own disgrace and embarrassment (fun as it may be to see) one of you in the relationship is not needed, for he is no longer there, and you are only loving the person you see in the mirror, using the boy to get what you want when you want it. Best to walk away, but tell him why, so he can learn, repent, and make the correct adjustments later on in life's experiences in his journey.

As I always say you kids are so fortunate to have someone the caliber of Costi teaching you and saving you perhaps years if not decades or a lifetime of regret and remorse. Not that God cannot fix any mess, or repair any situation, but why settle for 2nd best or 3rd, or 997th? God always knows best. When we choose to do it our way instead of God's we are saying we know better. God may step aside and let you, or He may intervene and save you from a tragic and stupid error, no one knows tomorrow, but know this, wait on the Lord. If it is meant to be, He in His time (not yours) will bring it about, and in the right way. Then He can put His blessing on you both. Are you not asking Him the Father, for his daughter's hand in marriage? Just as you would respect and honor her father (perhaps I do not know if kids still do this, few I see do) you will much more so want to Honor your Heavenly Father and get counsel in prayer from Him, and this is not a once and done, yep, gotta have her, and He told me yes. I recommend 6 months of pre-marital biblical counseling just so you can see the blind spots. The closer you get to one another towards the honeymoon date, the more apt you are to be blindsided. Don't be shipwrecked before you sail, learn young squires, treat the lady of your dreams well. For one day you may desire the same of a young man like yourself who comes knocking on the door and asks for the daughter of your union with your to be now. Something to think about.

That is key wisdom there 18:00 in, do not be "unequally yoked". It is what Costi is saying ... if you think you can win your unsaved mate to Christ, better do so then before you are married. Because if you are not on the same page, well later when you are to submit, you are going to be frustrated in disagreements (a lot). On the other hand kings of the castle, it works both ways, if the woman can turn the head and neck, think about it, the wife not happy, your life will not be happy. Words to memorize and live by from the gospel of Joseph 1:1. When a woman is not happy and in the world fellas a lot of things you hoped would go your way, will be pretty much as it went for Everyone Who Loves Raymond, Ray Romano in the 90s sitcom, not too well at all. (King of Queens was another good one) >>> Jesus must be 1st and Foremost in all thru it all, He will be your best friend especially on nights alone sleeping on the sofa, hammock, or outside patio deck. It happens, but don't let that be you.

Costi brings up the word "courting" but I will add a new twist to it for you. If you see violations you do not like while you are "courting" (when you should be putting your best foot forward, in trying to be polite, gentleman-like, lady-like) well then, you can pretty much count on it, he will not take you seriously, he will discount what you say, and if you go along that "courting" time will be a time actually "in court" before a judge. Do not let that person be you - guy or gal. Sober words to learn and live by, experience is a hard master and teacher.

Exactly and well said - "pump the breaks". OUTSIDE the church or fellowship means (nothing in common spiritually) you BOTH do NOT SPEAK the SAME LANGUAGE. Would you marry a mute? He is spiritually mute. If that is the case what are the chances of your success in such a relationship? If you have nothing to share in your talk and walk, what can you share, and even if you share the forbidden fruits, the world says, yeah, been there done that, as if you were a used car with little trade-in value. Not a good place to deal from - one down or definite disadvantage. For no matter what he looks like now, in 15-20-30 years that will change from curly hair to no hair, from physically fit to perhaps let himself go way Phat of Fat, from Joe Cool to Joe drool. Looks change.

Listen up kids and take down copious notes to review what Costi is saying. You may not get it all at once, but I pray the Holy Spirit does reveal it to you in due time. You do not want to be the one who didn't listen and built their house on sand. For when the storms came (and they will) great was the tragedy, sadness, demise, and fall of that house that was thought to look magnificent on the outside to last forever, but yet it did not. Build your house in FAITH on the ROCK. Jesus must be your anchor. Jesus must be your lifeguard and savior. Finally, Jesus must be your Lord, and if He is that, then you both must be on your knees wishing what is best for one another, in putting the Lord's will first. Many a good man or woman has stood in the way of what was, or could have been a promising ministry. God must not be in the backseat, or 2nd place something you figure out later. He must be front and center in all your decisions. Men if you want a good woman, read and seek the woman of Proverbs 31. Learn now, not later.

Ladies if he cannot be taught or trained now, the only other option then will be like how we treat our dogs. Oh yes, everybody loves and hugs and snuggles with their dog, but what happens come sleepy time. The dog is chained up outside all night long, to protect, watch and bark at all passerby's and intruders. Some dogs learn by such training, not all guys do. I can't picture many of you ladies wanting to chain your man up all night to run the yard under the moonlight outside, can you? Lol
