Purpose of REAL-ationships

According to internationally renowned author, teacher and leadership mentor, Dr. Myles Munroe, if you don’t know the purpose of something, abuse is inevitable. In other words, if you don’t know why something exists, you’re going to abuse it. You’re going to use it the wrong way because you don’t know what it is for. This is also true in relationships.

If you do not know the purpose of relationships, you will abuse them. You will get into the wrong ones, and you will have wrong expectations from them. Dr. Munroe is also fond of saying that if you want to know what a product is for, you need to find out from its manufacturer. The manufacturer gives you a manual on how it works and how to take care of it.

Since God manufactured relationships, we need to consult Him to figure out what they are for. He has also given us a manual to help us learn how relationships are supposed to function. His manual is—Em-manuel, Jesus, the Word of God.

Through God’s Word, the scriptures, we receive guidelines to help us understand God’s design for relationships. Recently I discussed 8 purposes of relationships. You can listen to this message and download it free, from the audio below.
