Meet Attractive Christian Singles
Leave a Comment
Want to meet attractive Christian singles? It seems just about every single Christian I know is in the market to meet attractive single Christians in hopes of meeting a mate. Reacting to this demand, many Christian dating services advertise how one can meet attractive single Christians on their sites.
What’s Wrong With Trying to Meet Attractive Single Christians?
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with hoping to meet attractive Christian singles. But I guess what bothers me is it seems Christians have accepted the world’s definition of what it means to be “attractive”. Nine out of ten times attractive by this standard entails putting much more emphasis on outward appearance, rather than on what’s inside of a person. Of course, God’s advice to those seeking to meet an attractive Christian single would be the exact opposite.
The story in 1 Samuel is that Samuel the prophet was looking to annoint a new king for Israel, and thought God’s choice for His people should be the most handsome and powerful looking dude out there. Of course, the Lord had other plans when he chose David.
Bible Verse of Day
But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” – 1 Samuel 16:7-
Hey, ya know what? I’m just as clueless as Samuel was, because I still struggle with judging people by their outward appearance. So how about you? In your quest toward meeting an attractive Christian single, are you taking the world’s view of attractive over the Lord’s? Are you open to His leading you in the area of choosing a mate?
Do you have something to share about how to meet single Christians who are attractive?

Emerging Church Movement and Single Adults Who Think Church Sucks
Leave a CommentThe emerging or emergent church “conversation” is changing the way many Christians think about reaching singles, who are by far the most unchurched group in places like the US and UK. As some emerging church propenents rightly remind us, the vast majority of the 90 million American single adults avoid traditional church at all costs, and something must be done to reach them
While I’m not part of the emerging church movement because I do believe in propositional truths as found in the Scriptures, I certainly appreciate some of it’s aspects.
The Emerging Church and Missional Living
One emerging church view I agree with is that all believers should be missionaries, lovingly engaging the unchurched around them. Sadly, most people in the Evangelical Church feel that Jesus left us on earth primarily to fellowship with each other instead of reaching lost, poor souls. Ouch!
The emerging church issue aside, as a single Christian who has experienced His love and forgiveness, how are you living and dating to effect the other singles in your midst who are in need of a Saviour? Does it really matter to you? To your church?
Bible Verse of Day
“I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some. I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.”
1 Corinthians 9:22,23

Looking to Find a Christian Wife
18 CommentsEver wonder how many single guys out there are actually looking to find a Christian wife? I would think many Christian single women in the market for a husband would be interested in knowing the number of Christian men hoping to find a Christian wife. Well we are too, and that’s one reason why our up and coming singles survey will try to quantify the different number of Christian single men looking to find a Christian wife, those looking to simply find a date and those not seeking a mate or date at all.
Lack of Biblical Guidance on How to Find a Christian Wife
Unfortunately, there is no specific dating advice in the Bible on how to find a wife, and you certainly won’t find dogmatic teaching on this subject. For example, in 1 Corinthians 7:27 Paul writes, “Are you unmarried? Do not look for look to find a wife. But if you do marry, you have not sinned…”
Although there is no “how to find a wife” playbook in the Scriptures, you will find general advice on topics such as waiting on the Lord, that would be applicable in your search to find a Christian wife.
Bible Verse of Day
“He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord.”
Proverbs 18:22
Dear Father, we pray for my dear brothers in Christ who are seeking a suitable helpmate. We pray for their peace and strength as they wait on you. I thank you that you promise to provide all of our needs in your perfect time. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
