Order

Hey Pastor John, 

Every time you preach about order I have a question that comes to mind, what is the order for a single woman?

For wives, when they have questions or feelings, they have their husbands to talk to and get direction, but what about a single woman?

I know there are times that things should be taken to Jesus, but sometimes I just don’t know if what I’m hearing is right.

Sometimes there are things I feel strongly should be taken to Jesus, and then there are times I feel very strongly to take to you.  But what about all the in-between when I just don’t know?

I heard you in a sermon on an old CD, and you were saying that each one of us need to have out own connection with the Lord.  You said, “There are times you take things to Jesus, and at those times, don’t bring them to me.  But there are other times you should be coming to me.”

Hi Michelle.

It’s pretty simple, really.  Every believer has to learn to discern when it is time to speak to whom.  If you do not have a husband, then obviously, talking to a husband is not an option.  But even if you were married, you would still need to know when to speak to your husband concerning some things and when not to.  Married or unmarried, you could do it right or wrong, depending on your ability to be led by the Spirit.

So, you, as an unmarried woman, must discern which person other than a husband would be beneficial to talk to (whether just Jesus, or your pastor, or an elder, or a friend, or whoever).

Hope that helps.

Pastor John
