GOD’S SIMPLE MESSAGE
1 Corinthians 2:1-5
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=1+Corinthians+2:1-5
Dear Father, God of all true wisdom, power, and glory,
When I set about to share your Good News about Jesus with other
people, keep me from using lofty concepts or high-sounding words.
Let me speak of nothing except Christ and him crucified.
Help me to understand that it is okay for me to show my own
weakness, fear, and trembling. Let my words demonstrate your Spirit
and power, so that the faith which germinates will rest not in my
wisdom but in yours.
In the name of Jesus, by his authority, and according to his will
I lift up this petition to you. Amen.

I left a comment on your blogspot. Please let me know if it showed up, my name on blogspot is spiritualbutterfly517. GOD BLESS!!!
i’m not really old enough to be dating so i don’t have much input. but, i don’t think teens should be in a serious relationship until they are like 16 or 17.
most people my age just say they are “going out”, but they don’t even go amywhere and don’t even really do anything at all together.
anywhere not amywhere, sorry.
Dating…one of the worst things to my parents. I personally don’t see anything wrong with it. I will admit I am too young to date. I think that dating is just fine as long as you are in a good christian relationship and you don’t go too far. That is just my personal opinion, though.
ok well, i wasnt really a foster child. i was adopted. one thing that you never really want to do to one of your kids is tell them that theere angry because of their birth parents. yes at time i have felt rejected by my B.P. but i still want to meet them again, and spend sometime with them. also i recomend that you get them involved into volunteer work. i work as a volunteer firefighter and for an ambulance group. but one thing that should never be inyour hands in a beer or the such. dont force religion onto them. and please do even threaten them with hand.
Hey i can’t comment on your other site, cuz im not a member, but yes I couldn’t agree more with your dating philosophies. From someone who knows, its not worth it. It brings heartbreak, stupid desicions, and intimacy before we are even mature enough to know the real consequences of our actions. God intended relationships to be something to prepare the way for marriage. No the first person you date prolly won’t be the person you marry but its not something to take lightly. High school dating, is SOOO much drama. Its insane how many crazy drama stories you hear in one day just form relationships. Im not against dating in the future, just cautiously and slowly, as for now I’m dating God, committing all my time to him, cuz he’s what really truly matters

When I was in high school, I sat back and watched all of my friends date. I was there to offer any advice friends needed when they had problems with their “significant others”. If there is one thing I have learned from sitting back and watching other people date, it’s that I know how to look for a mature relationship. I do believe that dating does teach people what to look for in a healthy relationship and gives individuals an idea as to what kind of person they would like to be with, but I also believe that most teenagers are too superficial to understand dating. To them it’s all about looks and less about personality. Everything is supposed to be intimate and lack of intimacy is grounds for a break up.
Now, I’m not a religious individual, but I do believe that if a person does concentrate on a relationship with the lord, they will learn things about themselves which will make dating better in the future. Individuals will know what they are willing and unwilling to give to a relationship, and they will also know what to look for.
