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.

The path you take with your feet should never contradict the conviction of your heart.

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.

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.

During courtship, guarding each other's purity and refraining from intimacy are the acts of lovemaking.
Joshua Harris

Courtship is a commitment - it's a promise not to play games with another person's heart.

We express true love in obedience to God and service to others- not reckless or selfish behavior- and we choose these behaviors.

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.

Intimacy without commitment, like icing without cake, can be sweet, but it ends up making us sick.

The most romantic things a man can do for a woman are the little things that let her know that she's on his mind and in his heart.

Image
I won't stick around to see how much temptation I can take. God is not impressed with my ability to stand up to sin. He is more impressed by the obedience I show when I run from it.

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.
