My fiancé picked up Chick-fil-A for me the other day out of the kindness of her heart. When I came to receive the bag I found she was convicted to give my waffle fries to a homeless man. Guess I found the one despite my lack of fries:/😂
I wanted to give some advice to those who are being with a non believer, my comment got deleted multiple times. Short answers is don't be unequally yoked even if they are Christians. Non believers are out of the question. Go with someone who can share the same view towards God's kingdom and wants to grow together. New believers are encouraged to be with a new believer
Thank you for the video. Just feedback, most of the video was out of sync with the audio so had to look away while listening haha. I feel like for me at least, rather than trying to look for the one, I should try to grow closer to God and become a man of God, before looking anywhere else. For me, lust is a struggle. I do not believe I have become the best child of God that I can be, no less a man to marry. So as you mentioned in the beginning, one must improve themselves first! All glory to God for allowing us to share and grow in his word!
My girlfriend isnt either of the last 2/3 but she is interested in going to church with me. I am a sinner as well and only recently have been really wanting to do the Lord's will above all things. Shouldn't I have patience for her to get better in the same way the Lord had patience with me all these years?
Your purpose on earth is not only your girlfriend. You may sow the seed and maybe one day someone else might water, someone else might reap the harvest, or sometimes it never does. Best is the have someone that has the same passion and mission, to run this race together. In that way you'll grow equally together, not faster or slower. God will still make all things beautiful, but you'll miss out a lot that God has installed for you. Since you guys are not married yet, do it to your ability to teach her, guide her and to lead her, but do not rush into marriage or sex. One test is the submission to Christ alone rather than you, she has to journey it herself and not doing it for you. You are not her savior. If she can pray, do her devotion, worship and read the bible without you leading her, and submit to leadership that's a win. You now have a heavy responsibility on yourself to grow in faith. This is just a heads up on what you're getting into. When she falls back, you can help her, but when you fall back, you'll have to be independant or to be surrounded by Godly counsel. The usual problem is the submission. Even if she becomes a Christian, or even if she is born a Christian to be equally yoked is important. By knowing how much are you and she is determined to grow in faith and making the right decisions in other aspects of life., that'll determine how equally yoked are 2 of you. I usually won't advice anyone to stop their relationship, but if it hinders your walk with God and your decision making, it's best to call it off.
Your purpose on earth is not just your girlfriend. God gives you the freewill to choose. God makes all things beautiful, but you'll miss out on what God has installed for you. The best is still to have someone who has the equal passion and desire to work on the same mission, to grow in faith and serve the Lord. So here are some practical steps to test it out this relationship. If she is able to pray, worship, do her devotion independantly without you leading, that's a win. See if she is able to connect with the church and the leadership, and submit to Christ, rather than just you. Otherwise, she is just doing it for you. She should not make you her idol, it won't last long. Check her circle of friends, are they going against Godly principles. Since both of you are not married, it's best to keep the relationship as friends. However, if it's far deep in the relationship, try to encourage her to know more about Christ. If most of the time, the topics you guys are talking about does not help each other in exhortation, edification in the faith and word, then the intention of this relationship is not equally yoke. Then, even if she's becomes a Christian or was born a Christian, it doesn't mean it's equally yoked. The way you 2 see problems and making the right decisions, determines how much equally yoked you 2 are whether is it rooted in the word. You'll have to be the judge of all these. IMO, if both are at the early stages of the faith then, continue to grow in the word. However, if you're a leader and serving in the church and have much shared the faith and evangelized, you have already know the purpose of all these. You may have sow into her life, but sometimes someone else might water, someone else might reap the harvest, and it never will. You are not the savior of this person. You can choose to be patient, but it'll take a lot of hard work, and sometimes you might take a toll. You should know that when she falls back, you can still help her, but when you fall back, she cannot help you. The only thing you can do then is to rely on God's word, Godly counsel of the leaders, and the brothers in Christ. You can have patience, but sometimes love doesn't conquers all. Only by loving God conquers all. One day you might end up in the situation like Abraham and Isaac, are you able to surrender it to God?
Don't seek the answer from people, seek the answer from God. People are always biased and will cloud your senses, so trust in the Word of God and let this guide you. Also don't take those bible-verses out of context, rather read them yourself and seek the answers. I love you. ______ Proverbs 3:5-6 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. __ 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
You should take the teachings of others as inspiration for your studies and not blindly trust them. Do not seek answers from other people, but take them as inspiration to find your own answers in the work of God. Do not trust the words of others because they are biased, trust the answers of Jesus because they are not biased and eternal.

Bible says stay single and celibate as that is the highest form of relationship, one with God. IF you can't control your loins, then get married...here is where this advice applies. SO getting married isn't good, it's a second best after a full relationship with the most high Creator. Correct me if I'm wrong.
@@peppapeppa714 1 Corinthians 7:8-9 (NIV): "It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do. But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion." 1 Corinthians 7:32-35: "He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord."
@@DataWiseStrategies I affirm this, and nothing within this verse would prove that marriage isnt "Good," like you claimed. Proverbs 18 and 1 corinthians 7 both clearly state that both marriage and chastity are good and blessed by God. Marriage was instituted by God and is symbolic of Christ and his relationship with his church, Genesis 2:18.
@DataWiseStrategies Matthew 19:9-12 speaks about what is sometimes called the gift of celibacy. “His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry. But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.” See also 1 Cor 7. To my understanding it is not always God’s plan for someone to remain unmarried. If you desire marriage in a pure and honest way, you should make your desire known to the Lord. If it’s his plan for you, he will give you a wife as a gift.
I truly love this one girl, but she doesnt follow christ, if she follows Christ after i show her how great Christ is, is it ok for me to stay with her now
Sorry to say that, i know it will be hard, but God's plan ist not for you to be with someone who is against him. God says that everyone who isn't for him is against him. He hast someone better for you in His mind, focus in him and everything will be added to you( Matthew 6,33)
The bible says who you should marry is by the laws of god first..And then if you can grow up from a kid and love using gods laws then you can find another marry for the first time called the virgin marry without false love at sex still where she is a be ride to your lord as the bride while the bride is Be "R "I" that De back to god as the true lord is an example of love for her to go home with. R's as the lord gods truth shared with god truth finally shared with us at Lord Jesus Christ as R"s because at the last death we are no longer an "ARE" because that is when we are the holy ghost as A RE is us returning again and again until we reach love as the holy spirit is your last death here as R's Is shared at the kingdom of heaven as your last death where a king finds you before you go. the king has R's as false love, and god has R's as true love ends uP as S-t- aR's. Mary Eliz. Marry // laws faith love Use one marry first as laws of god first, and then go to faith in those laws so that you can reach the other Mary as the virgin marry is found from the idea of love first followed and you did not sin IF your relates were followed to learn to fear that kind of lord, and then it is not a sin if you learned love from the love made to follow first [means never reach] Those who never "fear the lord" are those who de-light and reverse light as the other lord is love and one gives you the vision of love.
