relationships...
recently a lot of youth are experiencing issues with friendships, dating (pseudo), and relationships. I want to tell you guys and gals to just wait. You all are still so young in age. Enjoy life when you are young and still single. Enjoy God, Get to know HIM-really know him, study the word, learn how to pray, enjoy healthy friendships within the same gender, learn to serve the Lord together.

However, if you do decide to choose a dating relationship, then i ask you:
1) set clear boundaries
2) be open and honest about it to your friends and small group leaders (accountability)
3) consistently evaluate your spiritual life and your relationships within your community- are we growing in Christ?

An older married couple once said you should look at 3 tough questions in life before you think about dating (for marriage purposes).
1) Do you know who you really are?
2) Do you know who you are in the light of God?
3) Do you have a proper understanding of God and his love relationship with his bride (the church)?

Be praying for you all.
