True love isn't expressed in passionately whispered words an intimate kiss or a embrace before two people are married, love is expressed in self-control, patience, even words left unsaid.

More quotes by Joshua Harris
When you let God be God you can let humans be humans. When we place God in His rightful place in our lives, we don't struggle so much when human relationships let us down.
Joshua Harris
God gave people 2 ears and 1 mouth because He wants us to listen twice as much as we talk.
Joshua Harris
You get up and you preach a sermon and people walk away thinking what a great guy - and that's a failure as a pastor. Our job is to proclaim Christ.
Joshua Harris
I'm not saying dating is sinful, and I'm not saying a guy and a girl should never spend time alone together. I'm saying let's wait until we can be purposeful, so there's a reason behind our relationship, and we're not just stirring up passion for the sake of a good time.
Joshua Harris
Terms don't define our lives our lives define our terms.
Joshua Harris
During courtship, guarding each other's purity and refraining from intimacy are the acts of lovemaking.
Joshua Harris
Having a girlfriend was no longer my greatest need. Knowing and obeying Him was . I wanted to please Him in my relationships even if it meant looking radical and foolish to other people - even if it meant kissing dating goodbye.
Joshua Harris
I've come to see that you can limit God is different ways. You can limit Him by thinking he can never work in spectacular ways. But you can also limit Him by thinking that only the spectacular is meaningful. - from Dug Down Deep
Joshua Harris
True purity, however, is a direction, a persistent, determined pursuit of righteousness. This direction starts in the heart, and we express it in a lifestyle that flees opportunities for compromise.
Joshua Harris
Just because something is good doesn't mean we should pursue it right now. We have to remember that the right thing at the wrong time is the wrong thing.
Joshua Harris
Intimacy without commitment, like icing without cake, can be sweet, but it ends up making us sick.
Joshua Harris
Romance says, ' I want it now!'. Wisdom urges patience
Joshua Harris
You are so amazed by grace, you're not picking a fight with anyone, you're just crying tears of amazement that should lead to a heart for lost people, that God does indeed save, when he doesn't have to save anybody.
Joshua Harris
I am a sucker for romance and I love girls and that is a terrible combination, because romance has the ability to overwhelm your perspective.
Joshua Harris
Courtship is a commitment - it's a promise not to play games with another person's heart.
Joshua Harris
A lot of us have developed a diet mentality toward lust. We really want to cut back on lust because we know its not healthy and it makes us feel bad. But like some rich, calorie-laden chocolate dessert, lust is just too tasty to resist completely. Surely God will understand if we break our diet and nibble a little lust now and then.
Joshua Harris
The doctrine of Scripture teaches us about the authority of God's Word. Scripture must be the final rule of faith and practice for our lives. Not our feelings or emotions. Not signs or prophetic words or hunches.
Joshua Harris
A defining reality for me is what Scripture teaches in Hebrews 12, that God is our father, and that a sign that he loves us is that he disciplines us, he takes us through hardship to build character in us that could not be shaped apart from difficulty.
Joshua Harris
When God knows you're ready for the responsibility of commitment, He'll reveal the right person under the right circumstances.

Sex is not the problem [Lust is]
