Introduction to Dating

2 Timothy 2:22

Where are you spiritually?

Before we can deal with the topic of dating, we must stop and take a look at our lives. Any human relationship requires a Christian to analyze their life through the Word of God. God has standards for His people to live by, and it is imperative that we apply them in our lives in order to have any type of relationship.
