Jonathan Baines auditioned on American Idol this past week…and now Jonathan Baines is going to Hollywood! Remember this name folks because this Christian single guy can sing. I must confess I also like Johnathan Baines because his passion is singing Christian Music Worship Songs and will be also be attending Liberty University as a full time student this Fall. Good luck Jonathan Baines!
Jonathan Baines on American Idol
Unlike Jonathan Baines, who has taken a faith-filled risk by trying out for American Idol, many Christian singles have dreams and aspirations but allow their fears to hold them back. How about you? How big is your faith today?
Bible Verse of Day
~And he says to them, Because of your little faith: for truly I say to you, If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, Be moved from this place to that; and it will be moved; and nothing will be impossible to you~Matthew 17:20

Many singles write us asking for Christian dating principles or Christian dating rules to guide their dating lives. Well listen. I don’t claim to be a Christian dating expert, but I do know that the Scriptures have some wonderful stuff from which we can cobble some general Christian dating principles.
Top Christian Dating Principles for Singles
- Guard Your Heart- This means not rushing in like a fool in love into a Christian dating relationship but be sensible about it. No need to be a desperate Christian dater here. “Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life (Proverbs 4:23)” So take time to see if you are really compatible with your Christian date before giving away your heart. Okay?
- You Are Who You Date- Yeah I know…the saying is “you are what you eat.” But the fact is you will be highly influenced by the person you end up dating. If you are
dating an unbeliever, even for “missionary dating” reasons, chances are you will be negatively influenced by him or her “Do not be misled: Bad company corrupts good character.” (1 Corinthians 15:33).
- Know What Love Is- So you think you have all the signs of a great Christian dating relationship? Put your Christian dating to the true love or lust test. “Love is patient, love is kind…..” (1 Corinthians 13)
Overall, Christian dating can be confusing indeed, but if you put into practice the above Christian dating principles and the belove Bible verse of the day I don’t think you can go wrong.
~Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship~Romans 12:1

Well…we finally did it! We now have a FREE Christian Singles Forum for single Christians. The vision for this Christian singles forum is that it will help Christian singles connect with each other for dating advice, fellowship and ministry…all for FREE!
We have a lot of cool features on our Christian singles forum like instant messaging, so register, set up a profile (you can include a photo if you wish) and introduce yourself under “Introduce Yourself to other Singles.” Boy that was original, right? Although we get many thousands of visitors each week, it’s gonna take a while for our forum to populate. So it comes down to this: The more singles and their friends we get to register the more it will attract, so register and post away and you will be having lots of interaction with thousands of singles in no time. Think of the potential for fellowship, pen pals and more!
We have a number of singles categories you may be interested in including Dating and Relationships Advice, Single Parenting, Ask a Guy, Ask a Girl, Prayer Requests and others. Oh yeah…I almost forgot. If you’re interested in being a moderator when we start growing (and we will), just contact us through the singles forum. Blessings and I hope you enjoy our Christian singles forum.

Have you ever been asked by someone why you’re still single? During the holidays many singles were no doubt asked that worn out question by well meaning relatives and friends, “So why you’re still single?” Don’t you just hate that question? Many who desire marriage cringe at such a question but perhaps it a good one to ask of ourselves as we enter a brand new year. No need for sulking over why you’re still single here. Introspection can be a good thing if it leads to positive changes.
Reasons Why You’re Still Single
Recently, we surveyed a number of Christian singles on the question, Why you’re still single.” Here are some of the top reasons they gave for being single, which we lumped together into the following categories:
- Love Shyness
- Personal fears including fear of commitment
- Career/Money worries
- Single parent responsibilities
- Nowhere to meet other single Christians
There were a number of others, but I’ll leave that for another article.
Overall, if you feel why you’re still single has something to do with one of the above please be encouraged as we enter 2008. Why? Because there is no obstacle too great that He cannot overcome if truly commit our ways to Him. Does that sound too simple? That’s exactly what the enemy want you to think.
Bible Verse of Day
Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, and He will do it. Psalms 35:7
