In this message, Preston covers what dating looks like in a Christian context. He covers three primary points.

1. Are you ready to date?
2. Who should you date?
3. How should you date?

Questions to think about:

• How can I best honor God during my dating relationship? Can dating be a way for me to grow closer to God? If so, how? If not., why?
• Why is it so important to date someone with the same faith as me? What are the pros of dating a believer and the cons of dating an unbeliever?
• Why is purity important in dating? How can I effectively set boundaries BEFORE I enter a relationship so I can best uphold them DURING the relationship?
• How can I know this person is someone worth marrying? What should I do once I know? What physical steps would you need to take in order to become married?

In this message, Van explains how singleness can be best used as a time of...

-Preparation

-Passion

-Prayer

He explains that when we use our singleness as a time to grow closer to God, we will be best equipped to serve God whatever the season we find ourselves in.

Some of the questions we can ask ourselves from this message:

-Am I leveraging my singleness as a time of growth or am I being idle and waiting for a spouse?'

-Am I doing good so that God will bless me, or am I doing good because I am already blessed by God in His Son Jesus?

-Could I be content in Christ if I were single forever?

We are in the second and final week of our mini-series: Praiseworthy? Where we are looking at modern worship songs and comparing their lyrics to Scripture. We believe that the words that we offer Jesus matter. This week, we are looking at "Reckless Love" by Corey Asbury.
