Message Notes

Biblical Formula for Dating:

1. Be the one.

Mark 12:30
And you must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.

Matthew 6:33
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

2. Find the two.

Proverbs 17:17
“Friends love at all times…”

Proverbs 18:24
“…a real friend sticks closer than a brother..”

James 5:16
Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.

3. Add a third.

Ecclesiastes 4:12
Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.

Sinners who are never being confronted or frustrated by inconvenient truths are sinners drifting further from God, not towards Him.

Hebrews 10:24:25
Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. 25 And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.

1 Thessalonians 5:11-14
So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing. Brothers and sisters, we urge you to warn those who are lazy. Encourage those who are timid. Take tender care of those who are weak. Be patient with everyone.

Colossians 3:16
Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives.
