An area in which many Bible-believing churches (and consequently many professing Christian families) have blindly accepted pagan practices is the area of dating. Because the abandonment of biblical courtship in favor of modern recreational dating has been a disaster for families, churches and society, we need to examine dating from a biblical perspective and analyze the scriptural alternative: father controlled courtship. In this message we will define dating, note its recent origin, give reasons why its practice is unscriptural and in the process present the biblical alternative: father (parent) controlled courtship. For those of us born and raised in America (especially those raised as unbelievers) there may be a temptation to dismiss this topic as "obviously antiquated and absurd." But, as you listen to this message you may be surprised at the clear and abundant biblical evidence for courtship (as scripturally defined).

Solid sermon i like this speaker's sermons. they are sound and biblical. one thing tho... some of us aren't from ideal homes and don't have fathers to help us find our mates. but i think it is great if you are a parent or have a father.
