Trust

1. They don’t consistently pursue Jesus. Not a committed follower of Jesus. 2. When those you love, don’t love who you’re dating. 3. When you don’t face healthy conflict. 4. When you find it difficult to trust the one you love. 5. When the person you’re dating is leading you away from Jesus.

Thank you for taking the time to write out this outline for the rest of us!

Pastor Craig is correct, when I was in college I dated a girl who was a lot of "fun," but my friends and parents did not care for her. I knew in the back of my head that she was not morally good for me, fortunately for me she broke up with me, and a few years later I married a woman that became my best friend!

I'm so glad I found this sermon. I had to break up with someone because of the last red flag. Thank you, I needed the reminder. It's not easy to shut someone out of my life, when in the beginning, I believe it was meant to be. In the end, the Holy Spirit was telling me to get out. I hope someday the reason is revealed to me. My heart is still broken, but I believe it will be healed. All in His timing. God bless! 🙏

Goodmorning Pastor Craig and the entire life Church Family watching from Bahamas, Blessings 🙏❤

I’ve had friends date unbelievers who come to Jesus BECAUSE of them. So, there are upsides, and the Bible does mention marriages with unbelievers. - I understand that is a harder path, but is possible if your partner is open to it. And it’s so beautiful to see them come to God. (An example of someone well known is Lee Strobel, who was an atheist and his wife was a Christian). Obviously this is something you have to pray about, and really listen to what God wants for you. I definitely think red flag 5 is the most important one to look out for, so I agree that if someone pulls you away from God then you need to break up with them.

This just came at the right time. I went on a date two days ago and after that I had this clarity that this is not the person I would see myself getting married to or being in a committed relationship with. The date went okay but unfortunately most of my friends are not godly so they thought I am really choosy when I said the date was okay butI didn't have that sense of peace deep down and I can't date someone whose heart doesn't belong to Christ. I feel like this message was particularly meant for me. May God see me through as I continue seeking God's kingdom

But watching this video, I was gonna have him watch it with me, but the opportunity didn't come, as we already were becoming more distant because I insisted on our time together being productive, and not falling into the trap of the "Netflix and chill" equivalent.(I don't have Netflix) I shudder that I could've fallen for the concept that we "need" to get married soon based on 1 Corinthians 7:9.
