Intentionally Act
- If you are married, prayerfully discuss with your spouse how you do or do not submit to one another in the area of marital rights. Are you giving or taking? Are you submitting or demanding? Are you aware of times of deprivation? Have you prayerfully come together in agreement for that time-period? Are you actively praying for protection from temptation?
- If you are single, planning on getting married, or married, test your attitudes and heart against Scripture. Are you able stay away from the world defining your marriage rights or have you been impacted by books, news, media, movies, TV, etc. in your thoughts, expectations, and actions? How can you overcome these temptations in each category
- Engage in discipleship opportunities in our church, both one-on-one and small groups. Ask one another these hard questions regarding submission, giving of oneself, and protecting one another through prayer and limited time of deprived intimacy.
- Pray for the protection of our church as a whole, our elders, deacons, teachers, and other leaders for protection in this area of singleness and marriage that displays the gospel so profoundly.
