When I was living the single life I do remember that I dated mostly non-Christian boys. Should I have done that? Answer is probably not. But, I did. I can use the cop out by saying that I am human. But, my "deep thought" is more like I'm a disobedient human to God. I can go through my laundry list of men I've dated and elaborate more on them. But there's no point in doing that. Yeah they were people I should not have been dating. Whoops.
I am thankful that the Lord woke me up and said you may have dated non-christians, but you are not going to marry a non-Christian.
Oh boy, I actually was seeing what marrying a non- Christian Christian was doing to my Christian sister. Of course, it doesn't happen to everyone because everyone is different. But this particular instance was so close to home and I believe that God wanted me to be introduced to what was going on. I truly believe that God was tell my heart, " I'm going to let you see this so hopefully you will not want to repeat it

One day my now husband decided to follow Jesus Christ as his personal savior! If he didn't, I knew then though, I did not want to marry him. But since he did the Lord told me go ahead and he will be your spiritual leader.
That was a beautiful day with my former pastor. It was fun. We had some good Nutcracke Tea and Krispy Kreme donuts
I can think of a few couples that ended up being in a 1 Christian" marriage. I mean either the wife or either the husband was a born again Christian but the other was not. The problems they went through in their marriage was endless it seemed. That's all I will say about that.
They probably asked each other before they got married what their "faith" status" was. My suggestion is you better see if they walk whatever they talk. See for yourself with your own eyes before you two walk down the aisle.
Friends, if you are a Christian I think the worst thing to do is to get involved with non-christians. Again, I know I shouldn't even talk. It does say in the Bible, "Christians do not get yoked with unbelievers." I know. I ended up taking a very big gamble. Fortunately for me it ended up in my favor. I guess as God's favor. But, again I don't advice taking a gamble. Because the Bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 6:14, “Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?” (NKJV).
I'm going to end this morning's writing with a bunch of thoughts from Pastor Greg Laurie. Check it out!
" There are certain advantages to being single, and there are certain disadvantages as well. We’re told in 1 Corinthians 7, “An unmarried man can spend his time doing the Lord’s work and thinking how to please him. But a married man has to think about his earthly responsibilities and how to please his wife. His interests are divided” (verses 32–34 NLT).
Paul is not saying it is a bad thing to be married. He’s saying that when you’re married, you have to think of someone besides yourself.
That doesn’t mean you can’t still please the Lord, but it does mean that you will have limitations in your life that you didn’t have before. When you’re single, you’re mobile. And in many ways, you are free. Use your mobility for God’s glory. Use your time to serve Him and grow closer to Him. And pray for wisdom for that right person and that right moment." ( Pastor Greg Laurie )
