Sexual Sins and Staying Pure
July 6, 2008
Many of us struggle with sexual morality. Lets face it, staying sexually pure is one of the hardest things to do even for Christians. Statistics show that just as many Christians commit adultery or have premarital sex just as often as non believers. Many feel that it is impossible to stay pure in the eyes of God, and thats because it is-without God at least. God gives us the strength to do all things and we need to take advantage of this strength and self control that comes with our relationship with Jesus.
The bible warns us that any sin that you commit is against someone else except for sexual sins. Think about it. If you murder somebody, steal something, lie, or cheat you are sinning against another human. However if you lets say have sex before marriage then you have sinned against your own body. You have to deal with the pain and guilt of the fact that you took away your own purity. Also you may have had a child out of wedlock, or caught an STD. Now that definitely cannot happen from stealing.
The key is to ask God for self control. When you you do this, the Holy Spirit will give you what you need to stay pure. Nobody can do it alone, But with the Lord on your side, you can do anything, and you won’t end up sinning against yourself.
Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body.
1 Corinthians 6:18

Find the Ideal Soul Mate?
October 30, 2007
How do you find the ideal soul mate? As one person told me, in order to find the ideal soul mate, you must be the ideal soul mate for for that special single. What did she mean by that? Simply that as Christian singles there are certain traits that will make it easier to find that ideal Christian soul mate. The following ingredients evident in every healthy marriage relationship, and as singles we must strive to get them in our dating relationships as we seek to find the ideal soul mate for life.
Keys to Finding the Ideal Soul Mate
Patience
Besides waitng in patience on God, if we are to connect with another single person to find out if they are the potential ideal soul mate, we must be willing to invest time and effort into the endeavor. As the say, Rome was not built in a night, and neither will a soul mate relationship bud in one or two dates.
Truthfulness
If we are to find the ideal soul mate, we must be our true selves and vulnerable if a connection is to occur. Otherwise you or the other person may risk falling in love with a false perception of who you think that person is, rather than who they really are. I can’t tell you the number of singles who have deep regrets for entering into a Christian marriage under such false pretenses. There is a certain fear and risk involved in being truthful about who we really are as people, but in the end it will be worth it if you find that ideal soul mate.
Forgiveness
Forgiveness is the healing glue that hold together all great relationships. Why? Because at one time or another we all screw up and have need to either forgive or ask for forgiveness. Arguments will occur, so you need to learn how to deal with fighting early on in a dating relationship. Please don’t be so unrealisitc to think that even if you find that ideal soul mate you’re not going to have trials. As our bible verse of the day states: Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. (Colossians 3:13)
Overall, if you put into practice the above keys, you you will be more apt, with the Lord’s help to find your ideal soul mate.

Don’t Worry Tips for Singles
April 23, 2007
Don’t worry, be happy, said that famous 90s song. Well that’s easier said than done, isn’t it? When we hear someone say “don’t worry”, what they’re really sayimg is: Don’t worry about what the future may bring.
What exactly is worry? Well, worry manifests itself in different ways, but almost always eminates from a lack of faith, a scary sense of vulnerability and powerlessness. It’s no surprise then, that many singles who are “worry warts” also suffer from anxiety disorders.
Presently, Christian Dating Service Plus! is conducting a singles survey on dating, and one of the questions has to do with what we worry about most. Many single Christians that I have come in contact with worry about such things as:
- How long will I remain single?
- How will I be able to stay out of debt living on my own?
- How am I doing as a Christian single parent?
Don’t Worry Advice From God
In Matthew 6:25-34, , Jesus gives us some great “don’t worry”advice.
- Don’t worry about “things” becasue life is more important than them, and God will provide themn for you anyway if you give Him first palce (vs.25-26,33)
- Don’t worry because it really does no good as far as adding length to your earthly life (v.27)
- Don’t worry about the “what if’s, and’s or but’s of the future, becasue the future will take care of itself.
Bible Verse of Day
-Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own- Jesus Christ in Matthew 6:34
