Why missionary dating doesn work




















You confront him about some of his choices. You don't like his answers. You know he needs to go, but you keep hoping. Finally you give him to God. LEVEL 5 You've been dating three to four months; it's a time in your relationship where you know if it's love or not. At the start, he told you he was in church. However, you haven't seen any real commitment or growth in Christ.

You keep thinking he will change, but he doesn't. Your heart is breaking because you thought he was "the one. So, I guess I was a missionary dater. I seemed to be on a mission to get guys "saved," "walking with God" and "growing in their faith. I mean, we are supposed to witness and help lead others to Christ, right? So everywhere we go, we tell everyone about Christ. We warn them and teach them with all the wisdom God has given us, for we want to present them to God, perfect in their relationship to Christ.

Colossians God calls each of us alone. We can not "save" anyone. We can only help lead them to Christ. Each person is responsible for his own life with Christ. Each person will go before the Father alone. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.

John God calls each of us into a relationship with Him. It is a relationship that is about our journey with Christ, our growth and our maturity. So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God -- all because of what our Lord Jesus Christ has done for us in making us friends of God.

Romans Here is the problem. God warns us when we join ourselves with those not walking with God, those who don't believe, those who might even say they believe but their lives show otherwise , we take the risk that they may pull us away from God and the purpose he has for our lives.

It's much easier to pull someone down from up high than it is for us to pull someone up from lower down. It is for our protection that God commands us to not be unequally yoked. Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial. What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?

What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people. The goal should always be to be equally yoked.

By having Christ as the center of our relationships, He becomes the model for our lives. The guy is just not saved!!! Oooh dear, that was such a tough thing to swallow! That chocked me… a lot. I could stay awake late in the night just staring at his pics… I could not believe my eyes. But on the other hand, there was Christ, and all his offers, promises, his precious life he gave away for me… The decision was hard to take. I hoped his interest in me would be strong enough to give it a try, but NOT.

Thats hurt me a lot. But I was so determined and still coz we are still in touch somehow , that I just say a big NO, with a lot of tears of course. But you know what? I was so hurt to see such a handsome, charming, young guy who is not saved… that He inspired me one to do thing: pray for his salvation. Hope this helped you dear. Keep Strong.

The reward is awaiting. He has promised to have a thorough check of the truths I let him see in the world. I broke up with him. But he has requested for time to study the truths I have shown him he says he is willing to change.

Am I impatient for breaking up? Or foolish for still waiting for him to finish the project he has at hand end of this month so he can look through the scriptures?

You and your future husband, you and your future wife, have to be on the same page on who God is, because He is your reference point for how you act, for how you perceive the universe, for how you perceive man, children, everything is your perception of God. I had someone do that with me once.

This single guy was approached by a married woman who needed help, and even though she was a Christian, he recognized that with his being single and her being married, he needed to guard both of their hearts and asked me to step in and talk to her instead, so nothing inappropriate developed. I had GREAT respect for him afterward, because he recognized his and her vulnerability in that situation and found someone else to meet her need. I pray God gives you wisdom on this. First of all, I am greatly thankful to God for helping me find this website.

It was just today in the church that I felt about trying to convert my boyfriend. My boyfriend is a non-believer…orthodox Hindu. It all started a year back. We fell in love eventually, even though we knew of our religious differences and how they would stand in our way of pursuing a successful relationship….

But he is very pessimistic; he is smarter than me…he knows life better than me even though he is just one year elder than me. I know nothing but Jesus Jesus Jesus…but…. I too am frightened about upsetting them, it might even kill them. He is very stubborn. Perhaps in reading this, you find yourself lost in the exceptions.

To that I would say: Give credit where credit is due. We serve a gracious and powerful God who is all about redeeming our mistakes for His glory. Truly loving someone means caring about their soul more than anything else. But His yoke becomes easy and His burden becomes light when we look to Him for wisdom and guidance, when we lean on Him for strength to sort through the difficult choices in life and when we see people how He sees them—with loving, eternal lenses. Show them the right kind of compassion.

Introduce them to your community. Intentionally seek out people who are more fitted to pour into them without the risk of an emotional attachment. And pray. When we align ourselves to God in prayer, our desires can begin match His. We will start to recognize our inability to support the future unbelievers want, our need to provide a courageous example of faith and our commitment to see others first and foremost as souls in need of a Savior.
