Over the past decade, or so, It's become popular in modern churches to use the concept of courtship for young Christians to select a spouse. Many have touted this as the true Biblical ideal for young men and women. The idea of dating multiple people until you find the one you want to marry is often considered sinful or, at least, undesirable. Needless to say, I've only heard parents talking like this, while their teenage children are happily playing the field. This article compares courtship and dating with the Biblical traditions so we can get a grasp on what we're asking our children to do and what God is asking of us.

Hi Friends..!

The biggest issue that Christians are forgetting about is this: It is not about us, or our happiness, it’s about God. When we surrender our lives to God, He will call all the shots in your life. Every part of your life belongs to the Lord Jesus. Your love-life, work-life, sex-life, home-life, church-life, everything. If your life is committed to serving Jesus, and He determines you need a helpmate, He will send one.

Thanks,
