1 Corinthians 7:39-40

Our God is a God of abundant grace and mercy. We have much to be happy about!

As New York pastor Rich Villodas defines it, a deeply formed life is a life marked by integration, intersection, intertwining, and interweaving, holding together multiple layers of spiritual formation. This kind of life calls us to be people who cultivate lives with God in prayer, move toward reconciliation, work for justice, have healthy inner lives, and see our bodies and sexuality as gifts to steward.

Sexual expression is everywhere: movies, music, videos, conversations, social media…everywhere. Our culture is selling sex, promoting sex, and proclaiming that sexual activity is the norm. Those who are following Christ are being bombarded with the lie that being sexually active will satisfy the deep need for intimacy. We cannot look to society to learn what God’s call in the area of sexuality is.

People of all ages often come up to me and ask "How do I know if the person I am dating is the one God has for me?" If you're reading this, you're probably curious to know the answer yourself. I may not be able to give you an exact yes or no answer, but in this reading plan, I hope to help you narrow down your answer.
