1: Worldly vs. Biblical Relationships
from Worth The Wait Hosted by Erin Cyrier & Kaitlin McDermott
In this episode, we will be examining the different messages proclaimed about relationships. Our culture has standardized what a relationship looks like through movies, television shows, and books, creating an expectation for what it means to be "in a relationship." The world will tell us that if we aren't "talking" to someone or getting engaged that we are doing something wrong. With this, singleness has gotten the reputation of being a bad thing (more on this coming in Episode 4). But what changes about these truths when we focus on what God says about relationships? Everything. Now, there isn't any scripture that flat out talks about how to have a godly relationship in the dating world. What the Bible does teach on is being in relationship with one another and how we are to treat our brothers and sisters in Christ. We are to be image bearers of Christ and how we treat others should point back to the glory of God. We don't date or get married because it is an expectation or because it will make us feel good. We have relationships with one another because we are called to be in community. Man was not designed to be alone, so he made woman. When we are together, we give God more glory than when we are apart. We hope that as you listen that the Lord would give you wisdom on the purpose of relationships and would destroy any lies that are keeping you from loving Him more. Enjoy!
