Fatal Foxes - Part 2 (3 of 5)

Solomon 2:15

A. Opening illustration:
From willard harley: love busters. Marriage is like a fishing net. Each day a fisherman casts a net, Takes the fish caught in the net, and sells them at the market. Imagine two such fishermen. The first takes his fish from the net Every day but lets debris accumulate. Eventually, so much debris Is caught in the net that it becomes useless. The fisherman can Hardly cast it out of the boat, and when he does, it's almost Impossible to retrieve. Finally, in a fit of anger, he cuts the net Loose and goes home without it. He's unable to sell fish again until He finds another net. The second fisherman removes debris every Day, along with the fish. Each time he cast his net, it's clean and Ready to catch more fish efficiently. As a result he sells enough Fish to support himself and his family. In this parable the net Represents marriage, and fish are the benefits of marriage. Debris Is the way people ruin their marriages with love busters.

You say you value your relationship with god? Do you pick up a bible at Times other than when you are going to church? Are you doing the kinds of Things that contribute to spiritual growth?
B. Problems arise when our values are vastly di ...
