Something's not right

I can't think of another time when God said that something that He had done was not good, but that's exactly what he said after he'd created Adam and then given him his assignment of cultivating and keeping the garden of Eden. "It is not good that man should be alone." God knew that for Adam to be successful and to fail in his work, he needed help.

And that's when He fashioned Eve from Adam's rib. God used the part of man's body that protected his most valuable and vulnerable organs from which to build a partner in ministry. He used the same word that David used to describe the Holy Spirit, our helper. On this Sunday I'll be talking about the importance of women in the life of every man. We would not be who we are and could not do what we do without women. Men and women both are made in the image of God. It takes a biblically balanced view of both sexes to understand God.
