Dating the wrong way.

Corinthians 6:14 (the message version) Don't become partners with those who reject God. How can you make a partnership out of right and wrong? That's not partnership; that's war. Is light best friends with dark? Does Christ go walking with the Devil? Do trust and mistrust hold hands?-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wooooooo

A very hard verse to read and apply to your life, huh?. We love the verses of encouragement and comfort but don't like to read the verse that deals with direction and correction. Many of my minister to students "talks" deals with student's that are dating a non Christian guy or girl all the time. Usually the excuse is that they want to win them over to God and they keep a smal glimer hope alive by trusting what the world is doing rather than following the teachings of Christ !!!! The Bible is very clear that God is not calling you to do that. Actually, God is asking for YOU NOT to partner with those who reject God. AKA : those who do not have a relationship with God. This means Christians that are not living for God as well, they say they are but their lifestyle says the opposite. Are these individuals bad people? I don't believe so, at least not all of them. God is asking you to do this so you can walk in partnership with someone who has the same values and focus on Christ as you do. You can try to talk your way around this point but the bottom line is this! YOU ARE NOT TO DATE THOSE WHO DO NOT HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD! This is an area we have to decide if we are willing to be obedient. I can promise, choosing to live in disobedience will lead to great hurt in your life. Do what you know is right and and do it today!
