Thank you, thank you, thank you for allowing me the honor of helping you learn God's word.

Pastor Mark Driscoll here from Real Faith.

Happy to report.

We're now seeing over a billion impressions a year staggering as God's word is going faster and further than ever.

I'm really excited to help you learn the scriptures,

and if you would do me a favor, click on the link below,

or go to realfaith.com slash donate,

give a gift of any amount,

and help me get Bible teaching to someone who needs it

and hasn't yet heard it.

So we're going to be dealing with a lot in the Song of Songs and a little intro to the book.

It's the only book in the Bible that's only about marriage.

It doesn't ever mention children.

It's written about 3,000 years ago.

It is a spicy book.

We'll get into that in the next talk.

It has oral sex. We're just

going to start right there. It has the only strip teas in the Bible. So if you were thinking

about leaving early, don't. That'll be in the next session. And it's going to help. And when we

get into the book as well, it's two couples that are singing love songs to one another.

And if you were Jewish in the ancient world, you were not allowed to read it until you

were 30 or married.
