“Guarding your heart” is not about dating…
“Guarding our hearts isn’t about avoiding romantic relationships or dating…it’s about ordering our lives in a way that aligns with the heart of God…”
“The List” *Updated* Thoughts on singleness, dating and Discipleship
“So why have such a list? Should all Christian singles make “the list” and meticulously scrutinize every member of the opposite sex accordingly?
