While you may think you have the answers to some, you might be surprised to find what the Bible really has to say about these subjects. The Holy Spirit once again has threaded all three of these questions together. We also finish last week's discussion on the Great Pyramid.

Mankind has always had a sex problem all throughout the Bible. We can't think that we're immune in the most perilous time in history (2 Timothy 3:1). If you're convinced you're ready to date, you better make sure that your members are mortified (Colossians 3:5).

Tonight was loaded...and each question bleeds into the next. Buckle up, buckaroo!

We conclude the character qualities of a person you should date from our study in Genesis 24. The key emphasis being on the word "character". We'll see from the Bible that this all important virtue must take precedence over everything else when it comes to dating.

Do we know what the rivers flowing out of Eden are and is there any significance to it? Was there one big supercontinent at one point, and if so, did Noah's flood cause the split? Never would I think that these questions would generate such fun and enthusiastic dialogue among the group.

After last week's message on knowing who not to date (regarding both the lost AND saved), we're now looking at what the Bible has to say as it pertains who to date. We'll be diving straight into Genesis 24 for our foundation as we cover two pivotal points out of four.

This simple yet pivotal outline is mission-critical. As unmarried believers, we must come to realize that the Bible is NOT silent on what type of person we should and shouldn't date. This goes for both the lost world AS WELL AS the saved...

Tonight's questions also have a common thread: choices. We also have a fun little bonus question to kick things off!

Not only have you been waiting upon the Lord to date, but you've also been intentional with your waiting (as you seek to tend to Christ's needs and wants in your relationship to him). So, how do you know when you're ready to start dating?

Never in a thousand years would I think that these two questions would be related. It takes a bit to build the bridge, but in so doing we give a clear gospel presentation.
