I really love him. The thing is we spend hours and hours talking but i never feel that he contributes to my faith in God even though he is a believer. My relationship with God is important to me but I’m not sure about his level of commitment to God just based on our communication. Do i keep praying for him hoping for change or is it wiser to let go? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least some concern. Next to becoming a child of God, it is the most important decision you will ever make. Praying is best, which ever way you decide. I think you will know, by the spirit leading and waiting on the Lord. Being nervous is normal, so I would give it to God, and listen to your spirit. May God bless your decision. PS My wife (of 50yrs) says to date no less than 6 mos, and do not decide till you have a real peace about it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I would agree. I have known people who professed they knew the Lord. It's been over 50 years for some of them and still no outward signs anything ever happened. If you're hoping for a change you might be hoping for a very long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just tell the person you are concerned about their salvation and then let it go. Pray that this person's heart will be opened to Christ. Only God can save a person. Be a Christ example to this person in what you say and do. Don't do anything with this person that will compromise your faith in God. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galatians 6:1-5 Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. For each one shall bear his own load. Each of us are at different places in our maturity in Christ. Some may never mature much, others will mature by leaps and bounds. Does this mean the former is less important than the latter? Not in Gods eyes, I'm sure. Be there for him with the love of Christ, but first be sure you are doing what scripture tells you to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Christian responce to something in the news? Any man you marry has to be a spiritual leader for your family. Ask him how he will fulfill this role? Ask him how he lives as a Christian in his place of work? Do they even know he is a Christian? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to the web wintery knight and type in the search bar, what Christian men expect of a Christian wife/mother to know how to defend Christianity.

Biblically speaking, there the unmarried, the engaged, and the married. Dating is a relatively new concept, and the purpose for it should be to ascertain as quickly as possible if God's will for you two is marriage or not. I would strongly advise you look up on Youtube some of the teachings of Voddie Baucham on Love and Marriage, and Biblical manhood and womanhood. As you do, you need to take a hard look at this man you're involved with, as well as yourself, and ask yourself if your relationship is a Godly one. I will say as a general rule of thumb if there is ANY doubt about his salvation, that is a massive red flag. You should be able to know and see clearly the evidence of true saving faith in his life; the way he speaks and acts and treats you and others, the way he works, etc. True saving faith changes us deeply. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
