Unreal expectations. Ladies tend to view marriage in light of a romance novel. While men tend to view marriage sex.
Isa 53:6
We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to his own way;
and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
NIV
James…envy…self seeking
1 Cor 7:28
28 But if you should marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin should marry, she has not sinned. Yet such will have trouble in this life, and I am trying to spare you.
NASB
Count it all joy….
Happy Holy

The third purpose the scripture gives yus for marriage is:
To reproduce Godly offspring.
Gen 1:28
28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”
NIV
Have kids: Create culture, is the big idea here.
Experience goodness, and create goodness….exude
Mal 2:15
15 Has not [the Lord] made them one? In flesh and spirit they are his. And why one? Because he was seeking godly offspring. So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith with the wife of your youth.
NIV

Gods purposes for marriage.
Gen 2:18
18 The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”
NIV
Scripture teaches us that of all the things God created, one thing was not good. It is not good for man to be alone. God created for him a helper. An ezer knedgo as the hebrew puts it. The word means a strength that assists. She was made not from his head, that she might rule over him. She was made not from from his foot, that she might be beneath him. She was made from his side, near his heart, so that she would be an intimate companion.
Gen 1:27
27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.
NIV
Imago Dei, (image of God). The second and arguably the first puporse for marriage, is to reveal Gods glory in the earth.

Oneness
Gods design for marriage is oneness. Easier said than done, right?
Matt 19:4-6
4 And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? 6 So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”Nkjv
The greates barrier to oneness is our sinfulness. We are sinners by nature and choice, and that is the probelm.
Marriage is not designed to make you happy, it is designed to make you holy. Marriage will reveal your faults. it will reveal more issues you never knew you had, and more sin than you ever dreamed possible. The realtionship will reveal selfishness, in orde that God might work out of you selflessness. Marriage will reveal pride, so that God might make you humble.

Mosaic Miami Church
The following is an excerpt from Charles Spurgeon.
“Therefore, brethren, we are debtors.”—Romans 8:12.
AS God’s creatures, we are all debtors to Him: to obey Him with all our body, and soul, and strength. Having broken His commandments, as we all have, we are debtors to His justice, and we owe to Him a vast amount which we are not able to pay. But of the Christian it can be said that he does not owe God’s justice anything, for Christ has paid the debt His people owed; for this reason the believer owes the more to love. I am a debtor to God’s grace and forgiving mercy; but I am no debtor to His justice, for He will never accuse me of a debt already paid. Christ said, “It is finished!” and by that He meant, that whatever His people owed was wiped away for ever from the book of remembrance. Christ, to the uttermost, has satisfied divine justice; the account is settled; the handwriting is nailed to the cross; the receipt is given, and we are debtors to God’s justice no longer. But then, because we are not debtors to our Lord in that sense, we become ten times more debtors to God than we should have been otherwise. Christian, pause and ponder for a moment. What a debtor thou art to divine sovereignty! How much thou owest to His disinterested love, for He gave His own Son that He might die for thee. Consider how much you owe to His forgiving grace, that after ten thousand affronts He loves you as infinitely as ever. Consider what you owe to His power; how He has raised you from your death in sin; how He has preserved your spiritual life; how He has kept you from falling; and how, though a thousand enemies have beset your path, you have been able to hold on your way. Consider what you owe to His immutability. Though you have changed a thousand times, He has not changed once. Thou art as deep in debt as thou canst be to every attribute of God. To God thou owest thyself, and all thou hast—yield thyself as a living sacrifice, it is but thy reasonable service.

Cool
Mosaic has been on the move for 4 years now, we started with 8 passionate souls. This Sunday was the best attended easter service in the short history of Mosaic. We had 85 people in attendance. 2 people confessed Christ for the first time, Sunday night @ a bbq in my backyard Jeremiah’s friend Yanis confessed Christ for the first time. That was awesome! You are part of an emerging movement of God in a spiritually empty place. every investment in mosaic is an investment in changed lives. Your prayers, labor, financial giving goes into changing peoples forever. No act is too small, no deed is insignificant. Your presence and faithfulness will be shouted from the rooftops in the kingdom to come.

It’s about 10 miles from the Gables. This one is going to be on Sunday night. We want to start another in the south if there is interest, and by interest I mean 2/3 people who want to come consistantly. You can help us create it by sharing with us what a good night for it would be. What areas of faith you would like to explore. These small groups are great for seekers ( people who are spiritual but don’t know Jesus). Anyone can come to the grow group. I will be posting the address and info in the coming weeks. The emphasis of this first group is going to be on understanding Gods presence, the power potential and release that brings to our lives. Should be cool.

Chiapas Media Tour
FAIR FOOD ACROSS BORDERS SPRING TOUR 2009
The Chiapas Media Project/Promedios announces our new bi-national advocacy campaign: Fair Food Across Borders. Fair Food Across Borders (FFAB) reveals the human rights abuses faced by migrant farm workers in Mexico who harvest many of the fruits and vegetables we eat here in the US.
The Fair Food Across Borders Campaign seeks university, cultural and community-based sponsors to host presentations for Spring 2009. The centerpiece of the FFAB campaign is the new CMP/Promedios video, Paying the Price: Migrant Workers in the Toxic Fields of Sinaloa. Paying the Price examines the impoverished lives of migrant farmworkers from the town of Ayotzinapa, Guerrero. We follow them from their community to their lives as migrant workers in a large Sinaloa agribusiness camp, Buen Año, where they pick exotic Chinese vegetables for export to the US and Canada. We see the hardships faced by these workers in their community of origin, largely abandoned by the local and state governments to the inhumane and slave-like working conditions they encounter in Buen Año. Paying the Price presents the polarized reality of how migrant workers are seen in Mexico: through the eyes of agribusiness representatives these working families are portrayed as merely an annoying, culturally backward necessity to be dealt with in order to reap their multi-million dollar profits.
Melody Gonzalez, FFAB National Coordinator (from the Student/Farmworker Alliance, ally organization of the Coalition of Immokalee Workers), will present Paying the Price. Presentations last between one-and-half to two hours, and include video screening and discussion about the role of agribusiness and internal migration in Mexico, NAFTA, and corporate and consumer responsibility in the US.
Fair Food Across Borders asks for an honorarium based on the means of the host organization to help continue the work of the FFAB Campaign.

Background
It is estimated that there are over one million migrant farmworkers in Mexico. The majority of these farmworkers come from the southern states of Mexico like Oaxaca and Guerrero. These families are forced to leave their communities, among the poorest in Mexico, because they have no other way to survive. They leave their communities from four to six months a year to work in the fields of northern Mexican states like Sinaloa, where they encounter deplorable and over-crowded housing, exposure to toxic pesticides, child labor, and sub-poverty wages. What makes their situation more severe is that when they return back to their they have barely saved enough money to survive until they have to return to work in Northern Mexico six months later.
In northern states like Sinaloa, Sonora and Baja California there are thousands of transnational agribusiness companies producing a wide variety of products from tomatoes to watermelons. The majority of the fruits and vegetables from these northern states are for export to the U.S. and Canada. These companies make great profits from these migrant farmworkers, and the companies who buy from them, like Wal-Mart, reap even greater profits from this “cheap” labor across the border. The lack of regulation and enforcement of human rights in trade agreements like the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) facilitate and perpetuate this exploitation.
