Dating Vs. Courtship

The Raunchy "Real" World

by Patrice Lewis

"You know, the older I get, the more I'm convinced I live in a fantasy world.

In this cheery little artificial la-la land where I reside, boys are young knights-in-training and girls are virtuous and feminine. Children do not long for new and creative ways to self-destruct, and they have no wish to create havoc in their parent's home. And when everyone grows up, they court, get married and have babies (in that order)."

"In the "real" world of modern America, girls are raunchy sexual creatures whose sole purpose from toddler-hood on up is to dress provocatively, adorn their bodies with tattoos, piercings and make-up, and whose sole goal in life, apparently, is to find out how many boys they can bed."

"If people could only stop bathing in the river of slime issuing from mainstream media sources and Hollywood, they might see there's a whole, huge subculture of teens who are growing up with old-fashioned virtues intact. This subculture is not only alive and well, it's thriving and growing."

Courtship or Dating? Which should our young people choose?

What was your experience growing up, when it came to deciding who you would marry? For the majority of people it was dating, as that is all we knew. Well, what's old is new again. There is another way for people to go about finding the right person for them to marry. First, there is prayer. Ask God to direct your steps to the right person, then allow Him to do just that. Here is an awesome clip from a video I watched today. There are three very different courting experiences. Each is very unique, but with the same goal in mind...keeping Christ first in their lives. Please watch this, it could be really life changing. Then when you are through go to this website and order the video.
