Thank you. That’s what God has been putting on my heart recently and I have been learning to have grace and love and patience. But there’s always the fear that I am deceiving myself.

I am dating a man who was raised Catholic and is happy to go to church with me but likely doesn’t have a personal relationship with God. We share similar values and views on life and the world. He’s a ver kind and warm hearted person. Is this the same as dating an unbeliever or should I have...

Love and serve her regardless of how she is acting. That is what you are called to do.

Since being saved, sex outside of marriage seems as appealing to me as eating garbage or filth. I am still a sinner in need of sanctification, but I am grateful to God for giving me the ears to hear His truth and the desire to please Him. This wasn't anything I did or worked to achieve or...

I whole heartedly agree with you. We certainly need more prayer and less opinion (mine included). I pray for a quiet, patient, and gentle spirit in all situations.

Pray for them. Let God's glory and light shine through you. Love them despite how they treat you.

That tendency happens when I am using other things (work, busyness, spending, etc) to replace God in my heart. When those things are taken away, like with shelter in place, we want to find another thing to fill the hole other than God...e.g. a relationship. When I recognize this, I repent and...

Are you two happily ever after now??

You know the scriptures about it, so you know it is adultery.

How do I play? :)

If kissing in that way isn't sexual, why don't we kiss family members in the same way? I live my life, in all decisions and actions, in a way that honors and glorifies God in the best way I know how by following His word. Looking for ways to "get away with" things tells me that my heart is...

Kissing can be a peck on the cheek, or can go further and arouse sexual desires. I plan to wait until my wedding day for anything more than a peck on the cheek like i would give a family member... because the bible clearly states this is what I should do.

You made the right choice. The only thing is the way you handled it.Be sure to treat her kindly and with love. Meaning, do not attempt to hurt her or retaliate. That makes you equal in sin. Lovingly, kindly, leave her to her sinful ways and trust in God to eventually bring you a Godly woman...

He may just need someone to lead to bring this skill out in him ;)
