Should Christians Date?

The Bible talks about marriage, but what does the Bible say about dating?

NOTHING-Nothing at all!

What am I suggesting? I'm suggesting Christians shouldn't date. The world uses dating as a form of recreation and other humans as playgrounds. Christians committed to purity and serving God should not date. If you need something fun to do, try a new hobby.

So what is a Christian to do. Christians court. Courting is purposeful.
So if you know the Lord ain't done with your issues, you ain't got no business courting anyone.
If you have no intentions have marriage, you ain't got no business courting anyone.

As for me, I'll stick with my Saturday night dates with Panera.

Much love,
Fathead

Called in your Singleness

When the Lord called me into His kingdom, I was 1 month shy of my 26th birthday: no husband, no kids. I knew that God had a plan and purpose for my life, but just didn't know the details. After beginning my journey with the Lord, He directed me toward ministry opportunities; what a joy it is to serve God in the place He has appointed me.

If I have all this contentment, why is everyone else focused on getting me married off? I have a wonderful job, counsel young women and attend graduate school--right now, a husband does not fit into my schedule. So I know you mean well, but please consult the Lord and His plans before you try to suggest a change in the course.

Much love,
Fathead
