Questions for Reflection and Discussion:
1. The Bible gives us the standard for marriage, in the very beginning, and doesn’t change throughout. Why do you think the world has adopted so many different views of marriage throughout history?
2. Follow up from Question 1 What can the church do to make sure it doesn’t deviate from the standard of marriage, and also share that standard with the world?
3. With any sin, or sinful practice, the heart being sinful is the source and the sin a symptom. How do we effectively deal with the source of evil in our lives, so that we walk rightly before the Lord and don’t practice sin?
This week, re-read Mark 10:1-12 and pray through the truths you find while reading. Find someone to discuss these verses with, and share the word with someone you don’t know as well.
