Youth Group Dating Rules

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 4:23, which says to "guard your heart," meaning Christian youth should not get too emotionally involved in relationships too quickly, and 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, which outlines a description of what true love is like. Christian youth groups often encourage teens to create their own personal rules and standards for dating, such as staying in public areas and limiting physical contact.

What Is Meant By Abiding In Christ?

Text: John 15:4-6 Key verse: "Abide in me, even as I abide in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit in its own strength, unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in me." ( John 15:4 ). The advanced learner’s English dictionary defines abide as “Something that continues for a long time and is not likely to change”. This depicts something like a long lasting bond such as in a relationship. Abide signifies a continuous uninterrupted relationship (Jesus said for you to be fruitful, you must abide in Him and without Him, you can do nothing. Let us look at it in a simple way by taking a human analogy. Assume that a person is by himself a weak person. Assume he has actually fallen to temptation and has made a mess of things and is fast sinking further and further into a degenerated state of mind, heart and body. Now suppose that this person has a friend who has a strong, lovely and loving nature; and suppose this strong friend rescues ...

GOD OF BETHEL (Gen. 31: 13)

I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a pillar and where you made a vow to me. Now leave this land at once and go back to your native land. Bethel is a combination of two words i.e. Beth which means house and el meaning God. Beth- el = house of God. It was the place where Jacob had his reported first encounter with the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac (Gen. 28: 10ff). It was where he received inspiring promises that energized him to work very hard wherever he went without minding the rigors involved, which actually led him to greatness in life. Bethel was an important place as far as Jacob was concerned. We should not forget that this January is our month of emancipation when we are encouraged to move from slavery to liberty, from poverty to prosperity. Bethel provided Jacob an experience that would last forever yet he, at a time, forgot about the place. Why? We saw in the story of his sojourn in Haran where he had gone to get a wife for himself that he met with another cheate...
