Hi, this is Joel and Victoria.

Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry.

If you enjoy today's message, why don't you be a blessing and share it with a friend.

We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in your life.

God bless you.

Always a joy to come into your homes.

And if you're ever in our area, please stop by and be a part of one of our services. These are the finest people in all of Houston, Texas, right here at Lakewood. I promise you it will make you feel right at home. But thank you for tuning in. And thank you again for coming out today. And I like to start with something funny. And one day Adam was feeling very lonely.

God said, Adam, I'm going to make you a companion.

It's going to be called a woman.

This person will cook for you, wash your clothes.

She will bear you children.

Never ask you to get up in the middle of the night.

She will not nag you.

She will agree with every

decision you make. And if you ever have a disagreement, she'll be the first to admit she was wrong.

Adam said, wow, God, what will a woman like this cost? God said, an arm and a leg.

Adam said, what can I get for a rib and the rest is history.

Hold up your Bible.

Say it like you mean it.

This is my Bible.

I am what it says I am.

I have what it says I have.
