OK, I was mentioning at Sol's frat party (what a blast, just got home btw) that my church is holding seminars for singles on dating. Now, I have been pondering all evening how one would date like Jesus? I've scoured the bible and come up with words Jesus has said that might be helpful in dating situations. So let's get started:
How To Date Like Jesus
When you first meet your date introduce yourself as “I am the light of the world”
When talking about yourself say “I am humble and gentle at heart”
When your date asks about your career plans say “I have come to set the world on fire”!
When she asks where you're from say “My Kingdom is not of this world”
When discussing your hobbies say “My nourishment comes from doing the will of God”
If the conversation seems to be dying say "I saw Satan fall from Heaven like lightning!"
When she shares a problem, say “Don’t let your heart be troubled. Trust in God and trust also in me.”
When she tells you she’s scared of getting hurt again say “If you trust me, you are trusting not only me, but also God who sent me”
When she wants you to meet her friends say “for where two or three gather together ... I am there among them”
When her parents don’t seem to like you say “If you love your Father or Mother more than you love me, you are not worthy of being mine”
When you decide to dump her, hold up your arms and exclaim “It is finished”
So feel free to utilize any of the above in future dating situations and be sure to let me know how it works out for you. There could be a book deal in this for me (or a one way ticket to Hell but I believe God has a sense of humour...I'm really hoping anyway)!
