Manage episode 484301384 series 3661929
Markus and Nehemiah tackle godly dating relationships, addressing how to find proper counsel, maintain purity, and develop healthy boundaries.
• Seek wisdom from people who have success in relationships, not from confident fools who may mislead you
• Learn from Rehoboam's mistake of rejecting elder wisdom for peer advice
• Set clear boundaries in dating: don't be alone together and don't hang out late
• View boundaries as protection that keep you FOR something, not FROM something
• Purity equals clarity - walking in purity allows you to hear from God more clearly
• Incorporate fasting as a spiritual discipline that promotes purity
• Combat cultural impurity by renewing your mind daily with Scripture
• Focus on Jesus rather than obsessing over your struggles with sin
• Address the root issues (heart) rather than just the fruit (behavior)
• Find accountability partners who truly know you and can speak truth
