Making Christian Dating Work
Christian dating requires few basic rules: To date successfully you would need maturity.
You assume responsibility for your actions. Then you need to use the Bible as your guide as to what is acceptable or not.
Why should you engage in off or online dating? This is another question of great concern.
The Bible did not say: Thou shall never date online.
However, the Bible gives a clear instruction about courtship and dating both off and online.
Before you engage in any dating activity, you need to start by establishing your motive.
There are Biblical reasons why you should want to date (online or offline):
The Bible tells you that you obtain favor of the LORD when you find a wife or a husband. This you know is a good thing. (Proverbs 18:22)
If you must find, the LORD expects you to seek. It is only when you seek that you shall find. Matthew 7:7
Genesis 2:18 decries loneliness.
It is not good that the man or woman should be alone. Both need a companion and helper.
Two the Bible says are better than one. They have a good reward for their labor. Ecclesiastes 4:9.
From the Bible point or view, the purpose of dating is to seek a wife or husband. It is to cure loneliness and find a better reward for your labor.
Dating is therefore a way to seek friendship and love. It is principally to prepare you for marriage and family life.
You need to understand that the purpose for your dating (on or offline) is solely to find a friend, a lover and a husband or wife. This would put you in a better position to succeed with your dating plans.
It will give you the most essential control over you dating activities both on line and offline.
Why use free Christian dating service?
There are many reasons why online dating is popular. It is quite easy and fast. It is not very costly. You require only your computer with an Internet connection.
With online dating services, you have the entire world to seek out the one that, “keeps your HEART awake at night....” Song of Solomon 5:2
