When we hear the word “primitive” we likely think of crude or rustic, unrefined.  Maybe you’re picturing a former roommate.  But primitive can also mean “first” or “original.”  Regardless of whether Adam was crude or unrefined, he was primitive in that he was the first man, the original.  In other words, Adam was primal – he was the original, he was the first to be created in the image of Creator God.

 

Tonight we begin looking back – way back to the original man.  When God created man (and woman), what did God have in mind, and how far have we deviated from the original?  Did God give us templates of “the ideal man” and “the ideal woman”?  Where should we aim if we are to ever successfully return to that primal and ideal God-created man or woman He designed us to become? 

 

If you know the Geico caveman, this would be the perfect night to invite him to 97W.  Or maybe you just have some really hairy friends that could use some social interaction (and wax).  Or maybe you are like the vast majority of us who are tired of the wannabe men and women idolized by our culture, but now you are ready to return to your primal roots.

 

Tonight is the beginning.  See you at 7:30.
