I recently had the chance to hear about a lady friend of mine and a recent date that she had with a “Christian” gentleman.

She said he was a nice and polite guy. The he would be singing worship music to her in the park as they walked. It was a really good date all the way up until he decided that ending the date with sex would be alright.

I have to wonder what could possibly be going through the mind of any man or woman who has “sin” as the final outcome of any encounter.

I have heard stories of the ladies doing the same thing.

Aren't the Christians in the church supposed to be acting just a little bit different then those that are not even darkening the doors of a church at all?

Words like...”God will understand”...and...”we are only human”...or...”I am a Christian, but I still have needs” come from the mouths of believers.

Shouldn't we be asking for strength in such situations instead of going with the flow and actions of the world?

Although I haven't dated in a very long time...and I'm sure things have changed just a little. There is NO excuse for any “follower of Jesus” to think or act like those that are of the world.

There is certainly NO excuse for any Christian to think that it is alright to tempt others into compromising their walk with the Lord.

Would any one in the church think it is alright to steal or to lie or to cheat on someone that you love, certainly not.

Why would a male...seeking the affections of a lady...think it is alright to disrespect her to the point of using her for his own selfish desires?

Doesn't anyone think that God knows their hearts and intentions? You want God to answer your prayers and yet you hide lust in your heart?

Aren't these ladies supposed to be our sisters in the Lord?

Guys...when you as Christians date a lady from the church or anyplace, shouldn't they see something different in you? Shouldn't that same lady decide that you are worth that second date because you are displaying some “better quality” then what they see in the world?

We as men need to LIVE out what we believe.

We as men need to be A CUT ABOVE what the world has to offer to the single ladies.

We as men need to be followers of Jesus in everything we say and do and not just at church, on Sundays.

I don't know if it's old fashioned but I want a lady that I can Love and Respect...not lust and reject.

Just a thought,

Ron
