Dating Without The Drama

For God is not a God of confusion but of peace.
‭‭1 Corinthians 14:33 ESV

Do not be yoked together with unbelievers.
2 Corinthians 6:14 NIV

•It’s better to wait for the right one than to marry the wrong one.
•You can’t go to God for guidance together if one of you doesn’t go to God at all.
•Character is revealed in patterns, not promises.

How Do You Date in a Way That Honors God?

1. Start with God’s standards.
2. Pray before you pursue.
3. Pay attention to patterns, not just potential.

Love Stories Pt.3

When Love Feels Like A Let Down

Even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping—believing that he would become the father of many nations. For God had said to him, “That’s how many descendants you will have!”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭4‬:‭18‬ ‭NLT‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

But you, O Lord, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭3‬:‭3‬ ‭ESV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

•We don’t just invite God into our relationships.
•We build our relationships around Him.

1. A God-centered love trusts God even when the future is unclear.
2. A God-centered love forgives—and trusts even after the mistakes.
3. A God-centered love waits even when hope runs out.
