BE PURE. 2. BE WISE. This is from the Book I read about �learning the hard way� by Kuya kevin. He called these the �two commandments� of relationships. I want you to understand some foundational truths about LOVE, SEX, and RELATIONSHIPS. Commandment #1 � BE PURE. What does the Bible really teach about sex? Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. -Genesis 2:24 There you have it! � God�s plan for sex is one man and one woman in a covenant of marriage. Sexual purity, therefore, means abstaining from sexual intimacy outside of marriage. Sexual purity is simply a matter of using sex the way God intended it. Doing so protects us from the emotional, physical, and spiritual consequences that come from misusing the gift of sex. Commandment #2 � BE WISE. Here are just a few of the many Bible verses that mention wisdom: Proverbs 3:5-7 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. Proverbs 4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Song of Songs 8:4 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, until he please. Ephesians 5:15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, What do these verses have to do with matters of the heart? EVERYTHING! Here�s what I mean: God expects us to make wise decisions, especially with something as important as our love lives. I will repeat: GOD EXPECTS US TO MAKE WISE DECISIONS! Yes, God sometimes asks us to do things that don�t make sense (like taking on a giant with a slingshot). But this tends to be the exception, not the rule. The unfortunate situations you�ll read about have nothing to do with obeying the voice of God. Instead, the poor choices results from failing to apply basic wisdom. Let me give you some examples: *If a man has clearly demonstrated that he is lying, two-timing cheat, then God expects you to stay away from him. *If a young lady has repeatedly told you she is not interested in dating you, its time to move on and stop wasting your time. *If you are 14 years old, it is neither practical nor wise to get involved in a serious relationship. *If your friends, parents, and pastor are telling you to stay away from someone, there�s really good chance they all see something you don�t. Get the point? This wisdom thing may not be stated in the same black and white terms as sexual immorality but it is very biblical. Post Reply

It leads us away from hurt. It tells us what to llok for and expect and what not to expect. It teaches to make forecast for things God expects of us. It tells us to keep our desires aligned to the will and dictates of God completely. Sometimes our wishes/wants/desires/need may align with Gods plan for us and sometimes it does go the other way round! In all God must be our helper! Post Reply

Among other things, if a guy is interested in a woman, he needs to just go ahead and ask her out. Pretending that he is only interested in friendship for the first six months or two years or whatever is dishonest, confusing, and plays games with the woman's heart. Post Reply

However dating as Christians I am convinced should be approached differently as the world does. My pastor once said "Have fun while dating but refrain from doing anything that makes you uncomfortable if you were to imagine God standing there watching you" in other words I believe as Christians the God should guide our every dating move. P.S. DEEDEE would you mind emailing me @ [email protected] I need to say something of great importance to you. Post Reply
