Strangeness and the Order of God - Timothy Keller Sermons

[@ariah5093]

@2:50 I was just talking to God about this! I was telling Him about how I wanted Him to give me clearer rules before I enter into a relationship with a man. And as God was accommodating me and guiding me with practices and disciplines to stay safer to best prevent sin, what Tim said makes a lot of sense that the guidance of God is already with us in the Holy Spirit continuously.

"It is not good that the man be alone", yet God is unwilling to provide a partner for so many of his people.

"To prevent fornication, let every man have his own wife, and the wife her own husband." Yet God simply does not provide!

@@jamespython5147 God isn’t a wishing well, He’s a person. And I think you should treat Him like one. You didn’t ask to be a live, yet here you are. He wanted you. I really think you should respect God a little bit more. Best of luck to you, brother. God has given me an abundance of everything in my life, but only after I got to know Him genuinely with my whole heart. Also, you are not entitled to a woman. Women are vulnerable, and often times are better off being alone because men aren’t doing their job of taking care of them. “Good and faithful servant, you were faithful over little I will set you over much.” Talk with God about ways you can be better now to take care of one of his daughters. And begin now. God will help you if your heart is right. It’s a big responsibility to be a woman’s husband. She needs love, commitment, friendship, gentleness, loyalty, and spiritual maturity to lead her and her children into the Kingdom of Heaven. Don’t underestimate your God given role as a man to protect and honor women. They’re a blessing to you. They worthy to be loved and cherished. Don’t follow the ways of the world. Your heart should be to impress God. And a heart seeking Him is delightful to Him. He’ll show you the way.

So tell me, are we in a democracy? We vote for politicians, we vote for councillors, but there is no voting for Magistrates and Sheriffs?

[@b-thebridge]

The mayors, sheriff, county commissioners, county attorney, judges are voted for.

[@jamespython5147]

Well not in Australia, but I guess we are still under UK dominion.

Such a wonderul sermon but I would never give money to a group that is happy to interrupt the teaching of God for money.

[@Yeprotti]

Hmmm. Didn't Paul encourage people to support his ministry? I really dislike money grabbers but I don't believe Tim K would have anything whatsoever to do with that kind of behaviour.
