The Guide To Dating and Relationships

Culture says “follow your heart” and keep it casual—but is that how God leads us to a spouse? If marriage is one of life’s biggest decisions, shouldn’t we follow His way?

Restoration

How can I know if someone is "the one"?

Marriage isn’t about finding “the one,” but about becoming the kind of person who can commit to another believer in covenant faithfulness. If a person loves God and is pursuing Him, and is attracted to their character and person, they can build a Christ-centered life together.
Restoration

What can I do to grow spiritually?

Spiritual growth isn’t something we manufacture—it’s something God produces as we stay rooted in Him. God transforms us from the inside out and produces lasting fruit as we abide in Him.
Fall

What does the Bible say about coarse jesting or joking (Ephesians 5:4)?

Coarse jesting and crude humor are sinful because they reveal a heart that treats sin lightly. Instead of filling their mouths with obscenity and foolish talk, believers are called to replace it with thanksgiving and words that reflect a heart being transformed by Christ.
Redemption

What does it mean that love rejoices with the truth (1 Corinthians 13:6)?

Love that rejoices with the truth means we don’t just believe what’s right—we celebrate it, live it, and refuse to affirm what isn’t. When our hearts are aligned with God, what we tolerate, celebrate, and approve begins to reflect what is truly good, pure, and lasting.
Redemption

What does it mean to not cast your pearls before swine (Matthew 7:6)?

Not casting pearls before swine means exercising discernment in sharing God's truth. Jesus calls us to share boldly—but with wisdom, knowing when to keep speaking and when to step back.
Redemption

What does it mean that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven?

A camel through the eye of a needle isn’t just a strange image—it’s Jesus’ way of showing that even the most “successful” life cannot earn salvation or force its way into God’s kingdom. A rich person isn’t excluded because of money itself but because wealth so easily becomes a rival to God that can quietly replace trust in Him.
Redemption

What does it mean that Hymenaeus and Alexander "suffered shipwreck with regard to the faith" (1 Timothy 1:19-20)?

Shipwrecked faith is what happens when someone abandons truth and conscience—what once looked steady collapses into spiritual ruin. Hymenaeus and Alexander stand as a warning: drift from sound doctrine and unrepentant sin won’t just weaken faith—it can wreck it entirely.
Restoration

How should a Christian respond if a spouse has had an affair?

Infidelity may lead to divorce, but our first response should be a desire to reconcile not get out. Even in deep betrayal, God is present and provides hope, calling us not just to survive the pain but to respond in a way that honors Him.
Redemption

What does it mean that today is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2)?

Now is not just another moment—it is the moment God has opened the door of salvation through Jesus, making forgiveness and new life available right now. But this window will not stay open forever, so the call is urgent: don’t wait—respond to Christ today before today is gone.
God

What does it mean that Jesus is the door/the gate (John 10:7, 9)?

Jesus is the door because He is the only true way to salvation. Enter through Him, and you’re rescued and secure; try any other way, and you’ll find no entrance at all.
God

Who is God?

God is the one eternal Creator and Sustainer who exists as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, perfectly loving, righteous, and just. The most important question is not just what God does but who He is—and whether we truly know Him.
Redemption

What does it mean that love endures all things (1 Corinthians 13:7)?

Love that endures all things means we don’t walk away when love gets hard—we persevere and keep seeking what is good, even when it costs us. Real love is proven not in comfort but in commitment—to God and to others.
Restoration

How can I pick a career?

Your career isn’t something to guess or grab—it’s something to discern with wisdom as you seek to honor God in everything you do. A career is a unique opportunity to reflect Him in the world and live out the purpose He’s placed on your life.
Restoration

How can I find comfort and peace when a loved one has died?

Real peace in grief isn’t found in having answers—it’s found in trusting a God who is near, good, and in control. As we lean on His promises and His people, sorrow doesn’t disappear, but it no longer carries us alone.
Fall

Does the Bible condone misogyny?

The Bible does not condone misogyny. It consistently affirms that men and women are equally made in God’s image and valued by Him, each within their unique design and roles.
Creation

Did dinosaurs live with people?

According to a literal reading of Genesis, dinosaurs and humans likely lived at the same time and were not separated by millions of years. This reading matters because it shapes how we understand creation, sin, and the world’s history—either as a recent, purposeful act of God or as a long evolutionary process with death before humanity.
Fall

Is truth compelling?

Truth is compelling because it comes from God, reveals reality as it is, and leads to life, freedom, and transformation in Christ. It doesn’t just inform—it confronts every heart with a response.
Redemption

What does it mean that love bears all things (1 Corinthians 13:7)?

Love that “bears all things” is a steadfast, Christlike love that refuses to give up when life becomes heavy or difficult. Love bearing all things does not mean we put up with everything, but it chooses to remain faithful and seek the good of the other rather than quick dismissal.
Redemption

What does it mean that love does not rejoice at wrongdoing (1 Corinthians 13:6)?

Love does not rejoice at wrongdoing because it refuses to find joy in what God calls evil, harmful, or destructive, even when culture normalizes it as entertainment or humor. Instead, love celebrates what is true and reflects God’s character.
Redemption

What does it mean that love does not insist on its own way (1 Corinthians 13:5)?

Love that does not insist on its own way is a selfless, Christlike love that values others over personal control or preference. It lays down “my way” to pursue unity, humility, and what is truly good for everyone.
Restoration

What does it mean that no one knows the day or the hour of Jesus' return (Matthew 24:36)?

No one knows the exact timing of Jesus’ return because the Father has determined it and chosen not to disclose it to anyone else. Instead of focusing on when it will happen, Jesus calls His followers to live in constant readiness, faithfully prepared for His return at any time.
Redemption

What does it mean that we cannot be disciples if we do not hate our father and mother (Luke 14:26)?

Jesus’ command to “hate” one’s family is a form of exaggeration meant to show that our loyalty to Him must come before every other relationship. To be Jesus' disciple means giving Him ultimate allegiance, counting the cost, and following Him above all else.
Redemption

What does it mean that the Sabbath was made for man (Mark 2:27)?

The Sabbath was given by God as a gift for human rest and wellbeing, not as a burden of strict rule-keeping. Jesus taught that meeting genuine human needs does not violate God’s intent for the Sabbath and affirmed His authority as Lord over it.
Fall

Is homosexuality in the Bible actually referring to pedophilia?

The idea that biblical references to homosexuality actually refer to pedophilia isn’t supported by Scripture. Sexual ethics are ground in God’s design for marriage between a man and a woman alone, and anything outside of that design is sin.
Restoration

What does it mean to deny yourself (Matthew 16:24)?

To deny yourself means surrendering your own will, desires, and control so God’s will directs your life instead. It’s the daily choice to follow Jesus even when it costs everything, trusting that His way is better.
God

What does it mean that Jesus grew in wisdom and stature if He is God (Luke 2:52)?

Jesus didn’t stop being God—He chose to become fully human, and in that humanity He genuinely grew, learned, and matured over time. His growth doesn’t limit His divinity—it reveals a Savior who truly stepped into our experience so He could redeem it.
Fall

What does it mean that the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23)?

Sin earns a paycheck—and it’s death, both now and forever—but God doesn’t offer a bonus, He offers a gift: eternal life through Jesus Christ. You can’t work your way out of sin’s wages, but you can receive Christ’s finished payment by faith.
Fall

Is it wrong to blame God?

The Bible consistently shows that while we may bring honest pain and questions to God, we cross a line when we accuse Him of wrongdoing or injustice. God is always righteous, just, and good—even when His ways are difficult to understand.
Redemption

How can I pick which book of the Bible I should read?

You don’t have to find the “perfect” book of the Bible to start reading—just begin where your heart needs God most. As you read consistently, all of God’s Word works together to grow your faith and transform your life over time.
Redemption

What does it mean that Jesus is the true vine (John 15:1, 5)?

Jesus is the “true vine,” meaning He alone is the source of real spiritual life, growth, and fruit—everything we need flows from staying connected to Him. As we abide in Him, our lives bear lasting fruit.
Restoration

What does it mean that we should forgive seventy-times seven?

The call to forgive “seventy-seven times” means there is no limit to how often we should forgive a repentant individual. We are to reflect God's character by continually and freely forgiving others.
Redemption

Do we need to believe in faith alone for salvation to be saved?

Being saved is not about perfectly mastering a theological phrase but about placing true, trusting faith in Jesus Christ as the only Savior who fully paid for sin. So yes, whoever rests in Him alone—not in their works—receives salvation, even if their understanding is still growing.
Redemption

What are some good Bible commentaries?

Bible commentaries can be helpful guides written by scholars to explain the meaning, context, and language of Scripture so we can understand it more clearly. While commentaries can enrich Bible study, they are not replacements for God’s inspired Word itself, which remains our ultimate authority.
Redemption

What does it mean that Jesus came to seek and save the lost?

Jesus didn’t come for the self-sufficient—He came chasing down those who know they’re lost and in need of rescue. His mission is simple and powerful: to call sinners to repentance and save them through faith in Him.
Restoration

How does a believing spouse sanctify his or her unbelieving spouse?

A believing spouse doesn’t save their partner—but their life can powerfully point them to Christ. They can be a living testimony that God can use to draw others to Himself, those sanctifying their unbelieving spouse.
Restoration

How do you forgive someone who has not apologized?

Forgiveness doesn’t wait for another person to apologize—it releases their offense to God and refuses to be ruled by bitterness or revenge. Even when the offender doesn't make the wrong right by apologizing, we can trust God’s justice and choose to forgive (but not forget) anyway.
Redemption

Do angels escort us when we die?

The Bible presents death for believers not as a lonely end but as a beautiful transition directly into the presence of God. Whether angels are involved or not, the focus is clear: God Himself receives His people, and they are never alone at the moment of death.
Restoration

Why is it important to study the Bible with others?

We see more, miss less, and grow more when we study God’s Word together instead of just alone. Studying the Bible with others helps turn Bible study from private insight into real-life change and accountability.
Redemption

Do Proverbs 26:4 and 26:5 contradict?

Proverbs 26:4–5 aren’t a contradiction—they’re a call to wisdom. Sometimes godly wisdom stays silent, and sometimes it speaks, but always at the right time and in the right way.
Restoration

Are the 144,000 all men?

A literal reading of the 144,000 described in Revelation 7 and 14 points to them being all men. Whether literal or figurative, the emphasis is that God always preserves a faithful remnant who belong to Him.
Fall

Is anxiety a sin?

Anxiety is a human response that isn’t automatically sin, but it reveals where we’re tempted to stop trusting God. Anxiety becomes sin when we cling to it instead of surrendering to God.
Fall

Are Catholic beliefs biblical?

Catholic beliefs go beyond what the Bible teaches—adding traditions, mediators, and practices that shift focus away from Christ alone. Salvation, authority, and access to God are found fully and finally in Jesus—not in human systems, rituals, or extra-biblical traditions.
Restoration

Are Christians bigots?

Christians are not bigots—they are called to live with conviction and compassion. True faith shows that holding biblical convictions can coexist with kindness, respect, and a heart to restore, not harm, others.
Restoration

Are we supposed to be balanced?

Balance sounds wise—but Scripture calls us to something deeper: a life fully centered on God, not evenly divided between Him and everything else. True life isn’t found in managing priorities but in making God the priority who orders them all.
Fall

Are Catholic practices biblical?

Catholic practices rely on extrabiblical traditions for grace, but the Bible shows that salvation and access to God come through faith in Jesus alone. No ceremony, sacrament, or tradition can save a person or replace a direct relationship with God through Christ.

God

What does it mean that God is outside of time?

Redemption

What does it mean to pray, "Thy kingdom come" (Matthew 6:10)?

Redemption

What does it mean to ask and you shall receive (John 16:24)?

“Ask, and you will receive” is not a promise that God grants every request but that He responds fully to prayers aligned with His will. Prayer shapes our desires to match His, trusting that His answers are always best.
Restoration

How can we change culture?

Real culture change doesn’t start in systems or politics—it starts in hearts transformed by the gospel. When believers live distinctly and share Christ boldly, they don’t just react to culture—they reshape it from the inside out.

Redemption

What does it mean that David was a man after God's own heart?

Redemption

What are some lessons from the Book of 2 John?

The Old Testament banned mixed fabrics to mark Israel as set apart, but that law does not pertain to us. Yet God still calls us to live distinctly holy lives.
Restoration

Is it a sin to want to be popular?

Wanting to be popular isn’t harmless—it’s a battle over who gets our glory, and it slowly pulls us away from living for what matters most. Real freedom comes when we stop chasing applause and start living for the only approval that truly matters.
Redemption

Did John the Baptist doubt his faith (Matthew 11:3; Luke 7:19)?

Even John the Baptist, who recognized Jesus as the Messiah, wrestled with doubt when suffering and expectations collided with reality. But Jesus answers doubt not with condemnation, but with proof—pointing back to who He is and what He’s done.

Redemption

Did Moses see God face to face?

Moses didn't literally see God "face to face" (Exodus 33:11), but Scripture uses that figurative language to convey the close relationship Moses had with God. The Bible teaches that no human being in our current sinful state can see God, but one day, all believers will be in His presence.
Redemption

What does it mean that "The kingdom of God is within you" (Luke 17:21, KJV)?

“The kingdom of God is within you” (KJV) is better understood as “in your midst,” meaning the kingdom arrived in the person of Jesus, the King standing among them. The kingdom of God has already broken into history through Christ, but it will not be fully realized until He returns in power.
Redemption

What does it mean that broad is the road to destruction?

The “broad road to destruction” is the easy, default path most people follow—one that requires no surrender to Jesus and ultimately leads to eternal separation from God. In contrast, the narrow road is difficult and exclusive, but it leads to life because it is found only through trusting and following Christ.
