Sun., Nov. 14 Adult Bible Study — Thoughts on Marriage, Pt. 2

Review main points from last week’s lesson.

In the beginning
   God made a man,
Gave him a garden
    and a whole lot of land.

Animals, too,
   were given him.
Adam was perfect
   and knew no sin.

Yes, he was perfect
   in every way;
With God he did walk
   in the cool of the day.

But something was missing,
   so we are told.
He didn't need silver,
   nor did he need gold.

No, he was not meant
   to be alone.
So a help was given,
   bone of his bone.

Now if Adam was
   a perfect man,
Why did he need
   another hand?
