There Is No "Half-Light"

Listen from:
God is the only One who has the right to make a clear and distinct difference between light and darkness. He has called the light "day" and the darkness "night". He also morally separates between what is good (light) and what is (sin) darkness. God is infinite and sovereign, setting the standards for right and wrong in your courtship. Remember that in dating (as in all other things), God has no half-light called, "It's OK to do this, because we love each other".
Keep the light and the darkness clearly divided in your romance. That is the first day-the wonderful and exciting beginning of a Christian courtship. You will find that the Word of God clearly identifies that which answers to moral light and moral darkness. Read it prayerfully and carefully!
The present world has so lost the fear of God that it will try to convince you when dating that any kind of conduct is acceptable. Anything that feels good is acceptable-and is encouraged-in the world's romantic relationships. In fact, our so called Christian lands even have certain laws of morality based on the godless concept of "consenting adults". All this means is that what God calls sin is considered acceptable behavior between those who consent to such conduct!
All this is such sad folly! Our God has set the standards of day (right) and night (wrong) in romantic relationships between two people. He has clearly separated the day from the night. Do not allow the world's lack of Godly moral standards and tolerance of evil to blur the clear distinctions He has made for conduct in courtship.
Finally, don't be fooled! A Christian can't use the world's twisted standards of conduct for guiding a romance. The Lord Jesus said, "Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch" (Matt. 15:1414Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. (Matthew 15:14)).
