MEMORY VERSE: "Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good? But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. Do not fear what they fear; do not be frightened." 1 Peter 3:13
NOTES: 4 Marks of a Healthy Relationship
1). PURSUIT: It is the man's job to pursue the woman
-The man should be willing to risk himself; don't live in fear
(2:14) Lover; "My dove in the clefts of the rock, in the hiding places of the mountainside, show me your face, let me hear your voice"
2). PASSION: 3 Kinds of Passion
-Friendship: enjoy spending time, talking with each other, best friend
-Sexual
-"Ahava"; don't settle for the person you can live with; go with the person you can't live without
(8:7) "It burns like blazing fire, like a might flame. Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash away."
3). PURITY: purity builds trust
(2:7), (3:5), (8:4) "...Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires"
4). PURPOSE: a relationship should be moving towards or away from marriage (if moving away, then break up)
(3:7) "Look! It is Solomon's carriage...all of them wearing the sword, all experienced in battle, each with his swoard at his side, prepared for the terrors of the night."
Extra notes: 1 Thessalonians 4:3-8
1 Corinthians 7
-Prepare your field
-Don't date potential
-Don't date for too long
ACT OF LOVE: Today at the CSF Board meeting, we had a whole bunch of extra unsold snacks from the snack sales that we could take for free. I took a big bag of snacks & gave out all the snacks to my classmates & friends! Gave out Veggie Chips, Sunchips, gummy bears, fruit snacks & Rice Krispies. It was sort of funny because they thought I was selling them, so they always said "I don't have any money.." & when they found out it was free they were super surprised & happy! People + food = love
