1. God see Gideon as a strong man. 2. Gideon sees himself as weak. 3. God's preception 4. We must have faith that as long as God is with us, we are made strong through Him. 5. God told Gideon that He was with him and do go forth. 6. Praying no matter what He would have us do, He would strengthen us. Praying that He would always be with us and take us through.

1. Gideon felt like God had forsaken them because He let them go through so many troubles. 2. No 3. Even though they were disobedient, God had not forsaken them, but Gideon couldn't see it. 4. We blame God because we are still in the flesh and can't understand. 5. We need to stop and think about what we are doing. Are we being disobedient and where is our faith? We should have faith and believe that God has promised not to leave us no matter how bad it looks.

1. He knew that John would take care of His mother. He loved John and knew that He could trust him to take his mother into his home and care for her like his own. 2. This tells us that He loved His mother and since He was the oldest child, He felt responsible for her well-being. Even though He was dying He was thinking about others. 3. We should apply this in our lives, by showing love and responsibility to others and especially our parents.

1. Many were responsible, but I think that the Chief priests and scribes were the most guilty of killing Jesus. 2. You and I are responsible because He died to save us from the debt we owed for our sin. 3. It shows us that we have sins known and unknown that he has forgiven and this shows us how we should live.

1. Gideon says that God has brought them out of Egypt and now he feels like God has forsaken them. 2. & 3. No, because God never left the people even though they were not obeying Him. 4. We blame God because we don't want to take the blame ourselves. We have too much pride to admit that we did not listen to God's Word and were disobedient. 5. This is very dangerous. God has given us free will and we must take the responsibiity for our own mistakes; repent, and ask God to forgive us. We must study His Word and work on doing what He has told us we must do.

1. We can be understanding and not judge the person who is struggling in his/her marriage. We don't know what that person may be going through, so we can't judge. 2. You should be there for them. Listen and patiently try to understand their problems. We could give our opinion if they ask.

1. Yes, I believe that a person live in a perpetual state of adultery. 2. No, I don't think that divorcing or separating would get you back into God's will if that is the only reason that you are separating. 3. I believe that if you humbly pray and ask God to forgive you and there was no other way out of the marriage, He would forgive you.

1. I think that some of the disciples reacted so negatively because they were probably guilty themselves regarding divorce. I'm sure that they understand, but this would have been hard for someone to do when this was the normal practice during that day. In those days, the men were in charge and did whatever they felt like doing. It's just like today. If you marry and get tired of your wife or husband, just divorce them, but this is not God's plan.

1. No, it didn't command divorce. 2. It allowed divorce, but you couldn't just put your wife out of the house, you had to give her a certificate of divorce, which had to be done legally. 3. Moses allowed divorce because it man stayed with his wife, it caused the heart to be hardened and started all kinds of trouble. 4. God's original intention was for man and woman to join together and become one. If one of them was unfaithful he could divorce, but if the divorce was for any other reason then he committed adultery if he remarried.

1. No, you don't have to be a Christian tobe joined as one flesh. 2. Joining of one one flesh is when they have had sex regardless if whether they are in a religious ceremony or natural law. 3. All have been joined together once they have had sex, so even though the remarry, they would still be considered married to the first wife if they divorced for any other reason besides adultery.

1. In my opinion, I don't believe that Jesus sided with either one. He seemed to want to go back to the original law when God said in Genesis 2:24 that man and wife become one. 2. The exception that Jesus gave for divorce was for marital unfaithfulness. Moses permitted divorce because it developed hardness of the heart. 3. Deuteronomy 24:1-4 gave men the right to divorce for any reason, so as long as they had a certificate of divorce, they could remarry.

1. We are to take **** very seriously. If we weren't supposed to take it seriously, it wouldn't have been included in the Bible. 2. Agape love helps us combat **** by making us love one another despite the things that people are doing. We are to love each other even though we don't agree with their life style.

1. *********** is so wrong because it is sin and it is against God's Word. It produces ****, which the Bible makes clear is sin. *********** entices people to do things that they normally would not think of doing. 2. For some, going to a prostitute is adultery and causes others to commit sin by ******* after someone. People can get a disease and give it to their wives or others. They lose money that they need on prostitutes. 3. The victims are women who might get raped; children who may be abused; innocent young women; cause divorces; and many other things. It just pays to be obedient to God's Word.

1. Sexual desire is good between a married man and woman for the ultimate purpose of producing children. ******* after someone that isn't your husband or wife can result in more problems than some people can handle. A pure heart can keep you from desiring forbidden things.

1. Adultery and **** are basicly the same as far as sin is concerned. 2. The Bible has made it very clear how wrong it is to commit either of these. If your heart is pure, you wouldn't commit either of these sins. Being married should keep you from ******* after anyone. Keeping your mind on God should keep you from *******. 3. You should not be looking at anyone or anything with desire. You shouldn't be wishing for things lustfully that don't belong to you. Even if you don't do or say anything, you are sinning within your heart.

1. If you quickly settle any disputes, you won't have to settle it in court. This only brings harsh feelings and may bring about a financial burden to the person and then the matter will never be forgiven. 2. We are supposed to settle the matter with your accuser. 3. Settling entails going to your adversary humbly and asking them for forgiveness and attempting to resolve the problems together without going to court. 4. If we are truly trying to live like Christ, we should have an understanding heart and it would never get as far as the court. We should do all we can to resolve any issues by talking them over and doing whatever will make each person happy..We should pray before we even go to the person to discuss the matter. The Word tells us to turn the other cheek, so if we practice this, we shouldn't have a problem, and also if we love each other like we say we do.

1. We are supposed to love our brother and forgive them if there is bitterness between us. We are supposed to turn the other cheek, but if we can't forgive our brother, how can we say that we are worshipping with a pure heart. Our heart is not where God wants it to be. We are mocking God if we are worshipping and we haven't repented of our sins. 2. We should go to our brother and reconcile our differences and repent of our sins. 3. We should do anything that is possible to reconcile the differences even if it takes more than two or more tries and do it as soon as possible. 4. No, we should humbly try to resolve any issues that are causing issues with you and your brother. 5. I'm sure that there are some situations that no matter how hard you try, a person will not reconcile, but after you do your part, just leave it in the hands of God.
