3 Clues to navigate the Christian Dating Minefield
We said this season we are standing in truth. In this episode we look at how each one of us can deduce scripturally what is expected of them in their specific context. Truth doesn't change but environment does and we still need to remain rooted in truth through it all. If we have these three tools we can discern by the help of the Holy Spirit how and what we should do. Have fun! The exact verses as promised: God is a God of order - 1 Corinthians 14:33 In Christ there is not Jew no Gentile, no man no woman...but Christ is over all, through all and in all - Galatians 3:28 Do all these in love - Colossians 3:14 All these things were written for your edification - 1 Corinthians 10:11

Watch what you watch // Media and relationship expectations
Everyday we wake up and are stuffed full by messages that are spewed through every media channel. Between radio programmes, social media or television our expectations are cemented and affirmed everyday. In this episode we consider how to sift what we see and hear through the word of God. Verses included: 1. Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. - Proverbs 4:23 NIV 2. You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You. -Isaiah 26:3 NKJV 3. Do not be conformed to the patterns of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your minds that you may not what is his good and perfect will - Romans 12:2 4. For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. For the word of God is alive and powerful. - Hebrews 4:12

Back AGAIN // Just couldn't stay away
I heard you were looking for me...tihihi. Happy mid year. How's the going?  Relationship really do be something out here. I just had to come back by the grace of God to unpack them.
