  1. The MaidensRuth 2 Theme: Good friends in the Lord are necessary for spiritual growth. Biblical Principle: One-Anotherness promotes spiritual health and vitality.

  2. RUTH 1 SALVATION: RUTH DECIDING IN THE LAND OF MOAB RUTH 2 SANCTIFICATION: RUTH SERVING IN THE FIELDS OF BOAZ

  3. Maidens The Maidens (young women) are fellow gleaners who glean along side Ruth in the fields of Boaz. Ruth 2:8 Ruth 2:22-23

  4. One can acquire everything in solitude —except character. Stendhal in Fragments, I. Christianity Today, Vol. 37, no. 14.

  5. ESV Proverbs 18:1 Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire; he breaks out against all sound judgment.

  6. ESV Proverbs 27:6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; profuse are the kisses of an enemy.

  7. There is no substitute for flesh-and-blood friends if we are to understand ourselves and grow in communion with God. —Timothy Jones, Christian Reader, Vol. 32, no. 2.

  8. NJBProverbs 27:17 Iron is sharpened by iron, one person is sharpened by contact with another.

  9. ESV Proverbs 27:9 Oil and perfume make the heart glad, and the sweetness of a friend comes from his earnest counsel.

  10. Maiden Moments Make time for friendship and fellowship with God’s People around God’s Word. Your spiritual life depends upon it.

  11. Warmth, warmth, more warmth! For we are dying of cold and not of darkness. It is not the night that kills, but the frost. —Miguel DeUnamuno, Leadership, Vol. 5, no. 2.

  12. One-Anotherness • The Maidens (young women) represent the sweet fellowship and communion that believers enjoy one with another around the precious Word of God. Hebrews 10:23-25 2 Timothy 2:22 John 13:34-35

  13. One-Anotherness • Fellowship and friendship with other believers of like precious faith promotes spiritual growth and progress. Colossians 3:16 Colossians 3:13-14 1 Peter 3:8-11

  14. One-Anotherness • Growing Christians are always found in the company of other growing Christians. Romans 1:11-12 Galatians 6:1-3

  15. The main business of friendship is to sustain and make bearable each other’s burdens. We may do more of that as friends than we do anything else. Eugene Kennedy

  16. Maiden Madness • Satan divides to destroy. If he can keep believers apart from one another, He will ultimately win the spiritual battle in our lives. Divided we fall. United we stand 1 Corinthians 1:10-13 1 Corinthians 11:17-19 Proverbs 6:12-19

  17. Maiden Madness • There are other maidens not belonging to Boaz and who glean in other fields not belonging to Boaz. Do not join with them. Ruth 2:8 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 1 Corinthians 5:11

  18. Old Friends Old friends are best, I do agree, but to this fact I’ll hold; That everything must first be new before it can be old.

  19. That old friend whom you love so much; who’s staunch and true and bold, Was brand new on the day you met, though now you call him old.

  20. So make new friends each passing day— the years quickly unfold; And new friends whom you make today, will soon be classed as old.

  21. Then you will have a store of wealth that far surpasses gold; For all the friends who now are new You’ll soon be calling old. (author unknown)
