BGR Forum 2604Interesting Summary:
1.
Believe God will guide your relationship (do you really believe God cares?)2. Even before emotions strike, have deep conviction he/she should be a
fellow believer(do u truly honour God and seek to please Him even when "perfect" non-believer come after you?)3. Be humble and willing to
seek counsel and prayer support from those more mature
(include Reading - e.g. I Kiss Dating GoodBye... a quite new and popular book among Christian youths TODAY)4. Before giving your heart and commiting into the relationship, get to
know him/her deeper
(begin with friendship, share experience of praying or serving God together)5. Know
appearance is skin deep and does not last, look out for good character of humility/loving God + kindness/loving men instead
(clues can be found in his/her family, how he/she treat them, etc)6.
Readiness to start a relationship is not necessary determined by age, but maturity.
(Ask yourself if you are truly mature: are you certain of your own life direction, what can you promise him/her. confident of life-long commitment?)7.
Do not be conformed by the world (your peers) but commit to abide by Biblical standard
(Ask yourself why you want to be in a relationship, because it feels good for you, now?)8. Ultimately, we aspire our relationship to last, resulting in Marriage.
(Since Marriage affects your life intimately, take great care in selecting ur life-long partner) - recorded by QYDS, elaborated by AZDS.
(Animals are ruled by instinct. The World, who believe Humans are very much only Animals wants us to disbelieve we are able to take responsibility for our thoughts and actions. The world, with its post-modern "if it feels good, it is right" thinking, wants us to be totally ruled by emotions.
Do not act only on impulse or be moved by emotions alone... we are holistic beings created by God.. emotions are good guidance only if you harness it and not be enslaved by it like the world.
Wise up, by God's grace.)
