Spring is now upon us and the topic of "Dating and Relationships" continues to be on the forefront of many who are single, and understandably so. I would like to address this issue again in a sermon series soon, but until we set the dates (pun intended), I will give some preliminary thoughts and entertain questions and comments.
Having a God-honoring, Bible-centered world view manifested in all areas of life is a challenging yet worthwhile endeavor to pursue since the consequences of failing to adhere to such will only result in conformity to the world and a self-serving agenda. I say this because it is all too evident in the practices seen in many well-intentioned individuals who resort to various strategies that would seem to be biblical at first glance but are filled with subtleties that might escape immediate notice.
While I do not wish to single out any particular individual or relationship, I will be addressing what I see as some very real and present dangers that are being thrown around the general Lighthouse scene. It is in reflection of such dangers that I wish to address them directly and raise a call for humble yet convicting evaluation of the heart and motivation of all who are seeking to pursue God-glorifying relationships that will hopefully one day turn in to Christ-magnifying marriages.
So let the DTR2 preview begin. Coming next entry...

"Spring is now upon us and the topic of dating and relationships continues to be on the forefront of many who are single and understandably so."
Inflection is key in this sentence. Is the "understandably so" referring to the state of those who are single or the fact that dating and relationships continues to be on the forefront?
I believe the "understandably so" is referring to the idea that "the topic of dating and relationships continues to be on the forefront of many who are single." That would be funny if Pastor John was saying that it is understandable why so many are single. =)
