Romance Relationship Hope for Christian Singles
Leave a Comment
Spending New Years Eve minus a romance relationship usually spells loneliness and depression. I know many Christian singles reading this watched the Ball drop last night without a romance relationship in sight. Sigh. Under these circumstances it’s very easy to lull ourselves into a self-pity party, especially as we observe other couples enjoying their romance relationships.
Romance Relationship Hope for the Future
Last night as I watched the record crowd during the Times Square New Year’s Eve celebration, it dawned on me that many of the celebrants in romance relationships probably didn’t know Jesus as Lord and Saviour. The I sadly Thought, “what lasting hope for the future do they really have?” Yet, they sure seemed happy as they whooped it up.
Saint Paul tells us a wonderful thing about having Jesus in our lives: we are not like the world, who have no hope for the future. No, as Christians, we have a glorious future hope in Him!
So how does romantic relationships fit in all of this? Only in this way: The same God who has given you hope for eternity has also promised to meet our needs in this life as well.
My advice as you seek a romance relationship in 2007?
- Pray to God, expecting miraculous results in the area of romance relationships.
- Take faith filled risks as you do your part to fulfill your end of the bargain. This may mean joining a new Church singles group, or signing up at a Christian dating service
- Consider 2007 a new chance to claim anew His promises found in His Word.
Bible Verse of Day
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.Jeremiah 29:11

Love Songs in the Bible
Leave a CommentEverybody loves a good love song now and again. That’s why there are so many online “love song” sites dedicated to accumulating love song lyrics. People just seem to love them!
Now That’s an Old Love Song!
Most of my singles friends who are not Christians are surprised when I tell them that some of the oldest and hottest “love songs” are found in the Bible. I’ll tell you what, King Solomon sure knew how to write a good love song. Take a gander at this:
Bible Verse of Day
Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth—
for your love is more delightful than wine.
Pleasing is the fragrance of your perfumes;
your name is like perfume poured out.
No wonder the maidens love you!
Take me away with you—let us hurry!
Let the king bring me into his chambers.
Song of Songs 1:2,3,4
Whoa, don’t you just hear the sizzle? I know some Christians reading this are uncomfortable with this kind of language, and try to exegete these passages in a purely symbolic fashion. Ah, I don’t thinks so.
My love song advice for these gracious folks is to…..get over it! Putting on a prudish front only allows the world to misinterpret what true Christianity is all about.
Instead, we need rejoice in the fact that our God created both love and sex to be enjoyed by His children…as long it is in His way and His timing. For the Christian truly following Jesus, this means waiting until marriage.
