Admin	Purity Posted : 24 Feb, 2014 11:32 PM Is correspondence here be considered as dating without being strict as to its more profound definition? If it's a yes then me and my friend had unpleasant dating experiences on this site. I'm not making a generalization but based on my encounters, finding one's soul mate here is next to impossibility and sadly it is also true in searching for a spiritually mature guy. Most of those who sent me messages hardly meet my expectations and i am always surprised with their off conduct. First messages containing marriage proposals simply do not showcase a well-thought and Spirit-led approach. Why would they wish to marry a stranger? and do they honestly expect to get a yes? I believe that God has no time table in confirming heaven-designed matches but i extremely doubt the correctness of proposing marriage by mere looking at one's profile. The treatment of marriage as some sort of commodity that can be easily availed, consumed and discarded if unfit breaks my heart. When Jesus was at work of the Father's business, there was no instance that He ran-- He always walked which demonstrates patience. Love is patient. It must not be hurried. From a song i've noted that the only time God ran was in the parable of the prodigal son, when the father met his prodigal son who returned home after squandering his portion of the former's wealth. Not failing to mention those who are honest enough to air their sexual urges and consider marriage as an avenue for its satisfaction. Said inclination is natural but can be tamed if surrendered to God. I strongly believe that purity of the mind does not end on wedding days. Lust should never take over love in cherishing a spouse in bodily unions. While i forgave those who created said uneasy atmospheres, I don't want an ounce of it anymore and i will delete my account if it is necessary to completely get rid of it. It could be true that being sensual is common and has more weight on guys, however, having Christ in their hearts would set them free from it. It would remain to be a constant struggle equally to both sexes but then again, proper discipline with the Lord's help, we would not be running after said temptations. We have to cooperate with Him. Philippians 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things Matthew 5:27-28 27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: 28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. Proverbs 6:25 25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids. (still applicable though refers more to evil women) 1 Timothy 5 :1 Do not rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father, younger men as brothers, 2 older women as mothers, younger women as sisters, with all purity. God bless you all and let us pray for one another that we will not fall short of God's standards. Share love, God's love. Post Reply

View Profile History	Purity Posted : 28 Feb, 2014 01:44 AM i'll try to be back in May hopefully with the same account name or at least with "serve". my first account (mariegirl) was thoughtlessly-made that i changed it to (servewithme) and later decided (servewithlove) sounds better :-) after 12 years of bloody-serious schooling, this is my humble attempt to get back in the mainstream thru a social network. My 4 months in cdff was a good try. However, i need 100% focus in the next two months to light the fireworks of my career. boom! God bless u all and keep tracking the narrow road. :hearts: mwah!

Psalm_1611 View Profile History	Purity Posted : 14 Jul, 2014 04:28 PM I know two married people who met their spouses on this site, and a half dozen others who met on assorted other sites. All dating sites have scammers and all have people who are only looking for a physical relationship without marriage, but with practice it gets easy to detect them from the beginning and avoid wasting your time. I have communicated with a number of brothers in Christ whom I met on this site and others. I have met or dated about 8 in person. I haven't had any bad experiences. I am still in touch with several as friends. We don't have frequent contact but we build each other up in Christ through the contact we do have. I encourage you to persevere in meeting someone.
