3 groups of people

After last weekends message I’ve been spending more time on the “Elephant in the Room” blog, but there’s one more thing I have to say about the “Living (together) Room” message.  When it comes to living together and having sex before getting married, people seem to have one of three reactions. 

1. They loved it and want EB to speak on this topic more often.  2.  They recognize they’ve messed up in this area in the past (or present) and want to do something about it.  Or, 3. They think we’re wack jobs and totally disagree with what we, and the Bible, have to say, and think living together is no big deal.  And this week I’ve heard from all three groups.

The reason I feel like this past weekends message was a “success” is because I heard from a number of people in that second group who felt like God was speaking to them and want to make some changes in their life to set their current relationship or future marriage up for the best possible success.  Several singles have chosen not to date for a year, so that God can heal and repair their intimacy factor.  One couple, who are living together, right after the service went to look for an apartment so that one of them could move out.  And two couples who are currently living together have decided to get married.  That’s God at work in the lives of His people, and one of the many reasons I love this church.
