Have you heard about those disability dating sites that exist to help disabled singles the chance to meet other singles with similar issues?
Some people use disabilty dating sites because they feel it is harder for them to find a date on a regular dating site. I know of several Christian singles who have physical disabilities, and they with disability dating services. The main reason they use online disability dating is because they feel “normal” singles in the church and those on mainstream matchmaking websites look down on them once they discover they have a disability.
What are your thoughts about disability dating? Personally, something deep in my soul is repulsed by the idea of disability dating. Oh, it has nothing to do with the dear folks who use them. I feel sad that we as human beings categorize some folks as disabled and others as not. After all, aren’t we ALL a little disabled in different ways due to the Fall?
Bible Verse of Day
But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God [sees] not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”
1Samuel 16:7
How then should we treat and judge each other, and how should this verse effect our dating selections? Wow…that’s a tough one.

Are you familiar with love tests? You can see love tests on many dating sites and in romance/dating magazines. What exactly is a love test? A love test is basically a quiz, a set of questions that supposedly will determine whether or not the girl or guy you are dating really loves you, or is just faking it.
In my opinion, most of these love tests are inaccurate, and should be taken sort of like the “he loves me, he loves me not” games we used to play when we were kids. (Just thought I’d share that the petals on my flower always seemed run out on she loves me not)
A True Love Test
A real love test will take into account the actions of a person, and not just his or her’s words. How often have we heard those wonderful words “I love you”, only to realize later that the person saying them was manipulative and insincere. Mere words ring hollow, but actions speak volumes.
In this regard of connecting our words with our actions, the Bible speaks an awful lot about the meaning of love, and always connects true love with sacrificial giving of one’s self and goods.
Bible Verse of the Day
“This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.” 1 John 3:16-18
As a single Christian, how do your actions in the relationships add up against the “ultimate love test” found this verse. Are you all talk and no action? Do your words ring true, or are you just blowing hot air?

We at Christian Dating Service PLUS! want to take this time to wish the thousands of dear single brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus who visit us each week a very warm and Merry Christmas! It is our hope and sincere prayer that the Lord will bless you with love, hope and joy in the coming year.
As Christian singles we know it is especially during Christmas that many sense a longing for intimacy and love as found in a Christian dating or marriage relationship. Many singles are lacking hope for such a relationship, and are dealing with intense loneliness, along with simply trying to survive the usual holiday blues.
Our heartfelt message to you is to not give up hope in your God. He loves you where you are and promises to meet you in your need. As our Wonderful Counselor, we can run to Him with our burdens, and lay them down at His feet. He really wants us to!
Remember, our Precious Saviour specializes in taking a rotten situation and turning it into something beautiful. The smelly and dank stable He chose to come into the world in speaks volumes regarding this beautiful fact.
Bible Verse of the Day
“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this.” Isaiah 9:5,6
