Before you date somebody

Before you date somebody, ask yourself: 


1. Am I free to be who I am?
 If you have to reinvent yourself to keep somebody happy, you’re in the wrong relationship. If they disapprove of you now, do you seriously think marriage will improve things? Not a chance!


 2) Is the relationship based on honesty?
The Bible talks about ‘telling each other the truth’. Relationships thrive on openness and trust. When deceit creeps in, it’s time to get truthful in a hurry or call it quits.

Now the Ultimate One.



3) Is this person possessive or controlling?
 If so, it’s a red flag. The Bible says, ‘Love is … never jealous’ (1 Corinthians 13:4 CEV). If you can’t make a move without the other person’s permission, you need to back off and re-evaluate the relationship.

4) How are we spending our time together?
Without a plan, it’s easy to get more physically involved than you should. That’s why it’s good to agree up front about establishing boundaries.
Keep God in your relationship and you won’t go wrong.

 ‘Let God speak to you in everything you do … he’s the one who will keep you on track.’
All the Best.

MY PEOPLE PLEASE I NEED YOUR ADVICE   Robbers enter a house, asks for all the money and valuables. After they collect what they can, they give the man of the house a gun with instructions to shoot his wife or else he be shot himself. The man gets the gun, points it at his wife and hesitates. He is thinking of what he has gone through in life with his wife and how she has suffered and sacrificed for him. He hands back the gun and says, “I am sorry I can’t do this… “The boss of the robbers silently grabs the gun from him and passes it on to the wife with the same instruction. The wife gets the gun and without any single hesitation points to her husband’s head and pulls the trigger. But alas, the gun had no bullets in it. The robbers get their gun and walk out of the house laughing. QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION 1. If you were the man in that house how would you react towards your wife? 2. If you were the wife, what explanation can you...

 Who Are You Trying to Impress? Can you imagine viewing criticism as ‘a very small thing’? Or being liberated from the need to impress people; your self-esteem no longer dependent on someone noticing how successful, smart, or attractive you are?  Think what it would be like to feel genuine love for someone who expresses their disapproval of you.  Is such a life even possible? With God’s help, yes!  One pastor says: ‘Years ago I wanted to lead a certain ministry. When I wasn’t chosen I became angry. Of course I didn’t show it. That’s not to say I didn’t love God. I just wanted to serve me more than Him! By saying no, God was correcting an attitude that would destroy any real ministry I might have later. When you represent God so visibly it’s nearly impossible for anyone to detect that you’re a fake…except God.’ Ever hear of ‘approval addiction’? Its symptoms include living in fear of what others think of you; being easily hurt by what they...
