the date.....
the date.....
If you are a teenager and you are reading this, you probably have or will have a huge deisre to go out on a date. So dating is a very important part of a persons life.
It all goes back to when God created Adam and placed him in the garden and decided he did not want Adam to be alone. So God created this beautiful woman named Eve. If you read in Genesis 2:18-24 we begin to see how much God loves us. He does not want us to be alone.
He created Adam for Eve and Eve for Adam. This is why guys are attracted to girls and girls to guys. This is Gods plan.
My wife is a gift to me from God. I love her. I thank God for her every day.
Before you start to date realize who you are in God. Get that relationship established and learn to know God in a great way. This takes away the problem of feeling like you have to be with a guy,,,,,, girls...to have value. Find your value in God. He is flat out crazy for you.
You may ask is it ok to date? This flows from two areas. First if your parents tell you no, that is the answer. Don't date behind your parents back. That is not a wise thing to do.
But say your parents say ..yes, then I encourage you to use 2 Corinthians 6:14 . This verse tells us not to be yoked with unbleivers. Don't try to go out on a date with someone who does not share your Christian values. You are setting yourself up for trouble.That is not wise.

1 Corinthians 16:13 tells us to stand firm in our faith and be on our guard. Why? God does not want us to get hurt. He loves you.
Where can you go on a date if the above two tests are passed and you like the person?.. Plan ahead and set up a guard. Go somewhere safe for both of you.Do not go to your bedroom for a date. Come on we know what can happen there.
What is the prupose of the date? To get to know the person better. Yes. That is how I got to know my wife and fall madly in love with her.
Think about what we have talked about... God really loves you and does not want you to be alone. How awesome is that! I find every day that if I trust Gods word and follow him, it is so much better than if we try things our way.
Dating can be so much fun..Stay in God's plan in this area and he will help you.

I had a great time at the deep tonight with my friends. I also learned about Paul and I had never heard that whole story before.
