Status Updates From Courtship in Crisis: The Ca...

In the words of an old VeggieTales song: “God is bigger than the boogie man.” God is bigger than our failures, rejections, temptations, and divorces. He has provided a way out of the confidence crisis.

Aww...

THANK YOU SIR FOR STATING THE OBVIOUS

SEX. ISN'T. EVIL.

"In fact, many of the stories in the Bible violate basic tenets of courtship. For instance, the very first thing Jacob does when he sees Rachel is to run up and kiss her (Genesis 29:11). I don’t think many courtship communities would approve of that kind of physical contact. They didn’t save their first kiss for the altar. Gasp!"

The law is like the moon: It’s not a source of light. It’s only a reflection of the light. The moon is much smaller than the sun, yet if it gets in the way, it can block the sun’s light and cast the world into darkness.



Huh. That's something to chew on.

My city has golf, Walmart, and Burning Man (don't look it up if you don't know what it is). XP
I have no IRL friends to speak of. And extended family is...let's just say I'm *not* going to be asking for relationship advice from them... :/ :P

Ooh, interesting history section.
