In the journey of Christian dating, discernment is

key.

As singles rooted in faith, we often seek

In second Timothy three one to five, Paul
-
warns of perilous times with people exhibiting harmful
-
traits like arrogance,
-
ungratefulness,
-
and unholiness.
-
Similarly, Proverbs six twelve to 19 lists characteristics
-
despised by God, including a lying tongue and
-
a heart that devises wicked plans.

These scriptures aren't just ancient texts. They are
-
relevant today, guiding us in identifying

traits that are contrary to God's will.

personal desires over mutual growth and well-being.

When dating, it's essential to be vigilant of

-
seven, love should be patient, kind, and not
-
self seeking,
-
guiding us in our pursuit of godly relationships.
