If you’re a parent wanting to train up your children, watch these with your spouse and process through each video one at a time.
You
Before we talk about dating, we have to first look inward. We have to look at ourselves and our own sin tendencies and inadequacies as we approach dating because the Bible is first and foremost concerned about your inner life.
Them
Now that we’ve established our identity in Christ, let’s lay some groundwork for the type of person we ought to look for.
The Pursuit
We’ve covered who do I need to be and who do they need to be…let’s start to tackle the question: What do I actually do in a relationship?
Dating
While there aren’t any “dating” verses in the bible, it’s ultimately a wisdom issue. By following wisdom we can avoid unneeded suffering. Dating biblically our call is to discern if that is the person God wants you to marry.
The End
When dating biblically there are really only two outcomes: break up or get married. Both are successful in light of the goal.
