IMPACTING LIVES

For most teens, dating rules and expectations are an important part of social interactions and development. Any faith-based or community group that seeks to support teens needs to address this issue so central to teenagers' lives. Most religious youth groups have rules that come from their faith traditions and give their members guidelines on how to date and interact with the opposite gender. Christian Youth Groups Different Christian denominations offer different guidelines for youth dating. The most common rule is youth should not have sex outside of marriage, which is based on Biblical passages such as 1 Corinthians 15:33, which says Christians should "flee from sexual immorality." Another common guideline in Christian youth groups is Christians should only date other Christians, based on 2 Corinthians 6:14, which says believers should not be "yoked together with unbelievers." Other Biblical advice that youth groups may apply to dating include Proverbs

Living a Christian life is not always easy--in fact, the Christian walk is often the hardest to maintain. Those with a strong faith and who are grounded in their beliefs strive to live them everyday and in every situation.

Pray Before Your Date Doing this will give you the strength you need to keep God first and your date second, as commanded by the Bible. When you pray, ask the Lord to guide both you and your date, and ask God to help you honor Him in everything you do. You can ask for purity of heart and mind and protection against temptation as well. All of these prayer requests will help you as you embark on time alone with your significant other. Talk A

Anyone who dates wants to ultimately end up in a happy relationship in which both man and woman show mutual love and respect for one another. Strong Christian principles found in the Bible should influence dating activities of young Christian couples. Christians believe that God created young men and women to get together through physical attraction. However, the faith calls on Christians to keep sexual urges under control up to the moment when they will be joined in marriage. Because of this mandate, Christians remain continually aware that dating naturally leads to a life-long relationship within the institution of marriage. This creates a very different set of topics concerning Christian youth dating. Real Christians How does one identify another as a "real" Christian? Spending time with another person in several different circumstances and places can help. Careful observation of potential dating partners should bring out the important characteristics that define

THE DISCREPANCY BETWEEN LIGHT AND DARKNESS PART II (1THESS. 5: 5-11) You are all sons of the light and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be alert and self-controlled. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night.

You will recollect that we started with what darkness and night may represent in the life of t
