Christian Dating Integrity

By Roger Brandt

The term Christian dating doesn't say the young people have to conduct themselves in any special way. They would just stick to the basic Christian values as stated in the Bible just like in all other areas of life. This is a simple, but challenging statement.

Christian singles should go slow in a budding relationship. Dating infrequently while learning to know one another can help to build the desire to get to know each others beliefs and core values better.

Don't go alone on a date. Go with another couple or several couples. This will help you to keep the resolve on limits you have established more easily.

Keep your head about you as you spend time with your date. God is there walking with you, don't push God aside and give in to the temptation of intimate physical contact.

God never abandons us and He is a jealous God He needs to be first before everyone in our hearts.

Your beliefs and values will strengthen you to make sure your walk with God does not waiver to the peer pressure of those around you. As you seek to build a relationship with another, you should look to God to guide you to those who have the same beliefs.

As you date those who are of the same faith you will be strengthened and encouraged to hold to your core values. You will lift each other up and work together to build a strong Godly relationship. If you are unequally yoked together with a non-Christian you provide yourself as an easier target for the adversary to build a wedge between you and God. A non-Christian partner will come nearer working against your beliefs without the understanding of why you hold God as your Lord and Master.

Like-minded people can use Christian dating sites to find their ideal mate. These sites are a safe way to find others who have similar hobbies, interests, and beliefs. You can take your time to get to know someone and develop a relationship in safety and on your terms. Before you make a move to meet a person in the flesh you can decide if their values are what you are looking for.

Christian Singles Online Cafe is a Christian dating place where Christian singles can meet. Roger Brandt writes with Christian singles in mind as he searches the scripture for words of encouragement for the young and not so young.
