@flaviorocha You are most welcomed.Do not miss part one ! Many make big mistakes in this area and causes a lot of damage in relationships where Jesus is not Lord.Bro.David.
this is very lovely...and so true....i can attest to all written here...have been very happly married to the man of my dreams for almost 28 years now...and it is seems like Pappa YAH has us fall in love all over again but to a newer higher level every few months.....amen thank you for including me in taggin of the video....hugs from cheryl anne a/k/a gilps1958
Sometimes it seems right. But it isnt. One must pay strict attention to every word and deed spoken or done by one they deem te be attractive for them. Attractiveness is quite a hollow word really..........it means or should mean so much more than what the eye beholds. If one is *loved* for one's appearance, then one should question if it is deeper than this or not, before acting (marrying). appearances are shallow. Truth, is far harder te find
Brother David I Love part two I wish This could go out to every school,college and Churches I have been threw so much and when we put our marriage in Jesus hands it works Bless yo and your family love Ysic~paula
Thank you for sharing. All Glory be to God.. I love God first 4ever.. I dream of finding such a man to share my life in marriage, if he can be like minded, putting God first.. I want only be surrounded with God's love and all good things that come from God. Thank you and God Bless.
Praise GOD!Thank you for posting this video series.I can't wait to see the next video.Indeed CHRIST needs to be the rock on which our families are founded otherwise we are building castles in the sand.SHALOM brothers&sisters <3
I pray everyone is so blessed as to find their spiritual spouse.
Does anyone have any advice on getting married without applying for a license?I do not want to get into contract with the state or gov.I want my marriage to be founded& based on GOD not corporate agendas
But sometimes in this world then it is hard to make a marriage when your not allowed to marry because some people would lose the only source of their living so we can't ever Judge someone because it is God who knows a person's heart and all this I feel and I think yes marriage is the best way. But yet in this world then it's not the only way for some people. God Bless You.
Without the true one living Father God, His Spirit leading us, His body whom saved us on the cross when we repented and asked for forgiveness, without the truth of the Word of God in our heart and mind, our guide and teacher in everything we think, plan and do; going into marriage life, starting a business or working in a job, even pursuing an education--a true and real wisdom that only God could provide, even seeking a healthy body, spirit and soul, God is the only answer--His Way alone.
Thanks for your excellent video. It's a great reminder not only to singles in courtship, but like you said...to every Christian, that God is calling us to godliness. Having all the verses right there in the video really brings out just how central the message of godliness was to the writers of the New Testament (and how important it is to God that we grasp His call to be set apart).
Beautiful presentation. I like that phrase "Godliness gym". More churches or leaders should institute Godly pre-marital training for couples with the focus on maintaining God as the center of all things. I will share with others. God bless you.
How did we make it through 63 years you ask. Because we learned that unless God was the head of our house and relationship, we were headed for a ship wreck. When we came to that saving knowledge, then we were able to see with the eyes of God's love and faith, both in our Lord and then each other. To really love is to be forgiving, un-selfish, tolerant, kind, gentle, and Christ minded in all things. A big step is to seek God's meaning of love and then become it to each other. It really works
This message, (as well as prior message ) should direct those thinking of getting married or already married but floundering in the relationship, toward a healthy and biblical attitude and behavior, toward one of the most complex yet delightful part of your life. I have been married for 63 years to the same wonderful person that I fell in love with these many years ago. These have not been perfect times, but I would not trade them for anthing in this world. All our problems drew us closer.
very timely message in that our character towards the Lord should at all times not only reflect in marriage but friendships/fellowship as well. I praise the Lord for this message and will meditate over it with my wife.
Thank you for watching this video.The main purpose of this video is to singles believers yet to be married.If you are married and both of you are believers in Jesus this I pray will also benefit you.Some have gone through difficult times in marriage and we pray that the Lord will fill you with His peace as you live for Him.Some have been abandoned by a spouse that leaves and goes their own way.Keep your eyes on Jesus and His unfailing love He will never forsake you.Bro.David.
LOVED IT!!!! I am currantly Courting my High School Sweetheart!! He is so Good to me and we have studied many verses on Courtship. We wait for the day we shall say, "I DO."
Marriage is a holy commitment between the man, woman and God. It is not complete without God at center. I've heard before(and shamefully admit I fell for) the line someone says, "I am not complete without you" Word of advice, if anyone ever says that line to you...run!!! ..because they won't be complete with you either. If someone tells you they are not complete without you they are saying God is not at center if at all in their life. Remember, in Christ, you are complete.
I thank God for this video, these are the princlipes and standards I was raised on this and I'm 21, but sometimes the world can make your forget or try to lower your standards or sometimes its just yourself!. I thank God for this its an encouragement and reminder.
@TheDeb19 God bless you.I pray that this video will reach many young adults like you who one day will be married.As you pray and wait in the Lord and protect your heart one day a godly man will come into your life.Keep you standards high and holy.You seem to have things in proper order.
The Bible says seek the Lord first ; to concider the Lord in all we do . It also says to put Him (God) first and He will see to all of our needs. This encludes, choosing life mates, as well as living a godly life in marriage. God is wisdom. DO not lean to one's own understanding, or what that others says. Listen to God. He will never stir you wrong. Shalom
Neh.13::27"Should we then hear of your doing all this great evil,transgressing against our God by marrying pagan women?"Ezra 10:2"We have trespassed against our God,and have taken pagan wives from the people of the land.'If you belong to the Lord you must pray for a true Christian to marry.If they are not godly they most likely will turn your heart away from God."Missionary dating" is a big mistake.
@GodlyWorship I agree, and I agree with the message Strongly.
But what about the couple who are married and one has strayed or no longer goes to church with the other one, maybe because of something that happened in church etc. Careful you don't relay a message that they should get a divorce and not try to bring the other one back around?
God Bless. Again I agree if they are not married wait for the right one.
@timestandingstill I agree with you 100% .If a wife or husband backslides by all means stay married and live a godly example before them and love them.If a partner turns away from God that would never be grounds for divorce.In Corinth many who were already married ...one got saved and Paul gives inspired advice to stay with the unbelieving spouse if they want to stay within the marriage.Many have come back to Jesus because of the faithfulness of the believing partner.We are on the same page.
In the early church many who were already married before one partner come to Christ.After that Paul and Peter gave special instructions on how the saved wife or husband should act.Other than that a single christian should marry only in the Lord,that is marry a christian.The Bible never condones a believer to marry a unbeliever.In the O.T.THE LORD commanded them not to take foreign wives of pagan nations.If they did their hearts would follow the pagan gods.
continued: 15But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
16For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
1 Corinthians 7: 12But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
13And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. 14For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
P 1. Another wonderful video by a GODLY man. Thank you so much for posting these wonderful educational videos. It almost made me cry to think what life might have been like. Had I not made the choices I did when I was young.
My life attests to the truth of this video. I only hope and pray that the maidens who watch this video glean all it's wisdom and act on it, before they make a foolish choice like I did resulting in living in misery & loosing 2 of my 5 children's souls to this world.
P 2. Young women you need to look up to older people who've made the mistakes and are trying to help you prevent from making them. Please don't offer advice to women who are 2x & 3x older than you are. All you really do when you do that is show that you are prideful and arrogant. We were paying our bills while your mom's were changing your diapers. You might be able to teach us how to upload our pics on our cell phones to our PCs, but you have no business trying to teach about life.
P 3. The most highest calling a woman can have is to her children. GOD gave you a perfect little gift from heaven. It's up to you mom, to mold that sweet little mind into one who loves and appriciates GOD and all His glory. Trust and believe, you don't want to loose any of your children to the world.
Parents need to dedicate their children to the LORD together, the father really needs to be the spiritualy leader of the home. Lead his family in Bible study and prayer. What an awesome blessing
P 4. that would be. Moms need to submit to her husbands righteous decisions and nuture the whole family her man and kids. We live in such a lost society everyone has lost their way. This whole equality thing. It is true we are all equal in Christ Galations 3:28 but we all have different roles and they are not to be reversed or changed. Our world is falling apart around us. And our worlds start as our families as children.
We need to pray for the sanctity of the family. Help us JESUS~!
@mammal46 Men must rise up and follow Jesus and be leaders in the home.That is their calling.Thats why the single young ladies need to be praying for a godly husband.I believe America is they whey it is due to men who do not put God as the center of their lives and homes.The prison system tells us most of the men grew up without a godly dad in the home.Christianity starts in the home not in the church.As the home goes so goes the nation.Thanks for sharing.
There is so much to glean from this teaching.I pray David that it will help many on their journey to marriage and save them from many pitfalls.They should start off with some godly standards and godly guidelines and this video is a good place to start.
THESE ARE WONDERFUL BROTHER DAVID...SURE WISH I HAD SEEN THEM YEARS AGO...BUT NO MATTER...GOD HAD HIS HAND IN MY LIFE REGARDLESS...I AM HIS AND HE IS MINE...NOTHING CAN TAKE ME FROM HIM NOW...BUT THESE VIDS ARE WONDERFUL FOR PEOPLE TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICES EARLIER ON TO AVOID THE HEARTACHE, HEARTBREAK AND EMOTIONAL PAIN OF DIVORCE..ESPECIALLY THE CHILDREN...GOD BLESS YOU FOR YOUR DILIGENT WORK ON THIS SUBJECT BROTHER...MAY GOD BLESS THESE MESSAGES AND SPEAK INTO THE HEARTS OF THE SINGLES
Thank you for this teaching. Godliness comes first, i should build it through discipline and if i am to get married , i should look for it in my partner. This is God's Word to us as He designed marriage and His plan is perfect
Well, part 2 is just as excellent as part 1! Really good advice, here........no matter where we are in our journey....pursuing God and a godly character is the only path to peace and contentment!
The measure by which we love people,reflects on how well we understand what Jesus did for us on the cross.The ultimate sacrifice for sin,is the best example of love.
Great part two video! Lovely music, pictures, and great message! Everyone should see this video! Appreciate your great efforts and time you put into your videos. This is such an easy and important message to understand! We must be on guard to choose someone godly when we marry and know what they're really like -- for sure!
A desparate need for godly men,godly single men,godly husbands who will be godly leaders in the home and Church.Young ladies wait for a godly man.And if a young man puts pressure on you for sex resist it and end that relationship.Lust can never produce a holy marriage....NEVER !!!
A very sobering reminder that God must be First place in our hearts and lives if we are to bear righteous fruit in our marriages.America is a land of divorce,seperations,unwed mothers and wayward fathers.The 'union' of marriage is now a sham and many just 'live together' with no lasting commitment.Godliness is sometime the farthest thing in the minds of young people in the church but sex is on their minds.Without godliness there will be no self-control.The pulpit is very silent on these sins.
One out of two marriages end in divorce and the results and effects on family ,children and friends and church are felt for years to come.I have compassion on those innocent ones who are deeply damaged by this.May God restore them and heal their hearts.Because of this it makes this video all the more important.Young adults listen well.You can and must have a godly courtship.
One of the reasons I was so drawn to my church, beyond the bold & faithful preaching of God's Word, is how tenderly my pastor speaks of his wife & family. At age 70, he recently said of his lovely wife, "She is a vision." She is still attractive to him, & surely, at her age, it has little to do with outward appearance, but the intimate inner workings of their combined hearts & love for Christ. It's truly a beautiful thing & a great sign that he is a really good shepherd. Great job, David!
What a beautiful video and so apt for me. My husband and I love the seashore. Thank you for the powerful messages from God's Word, and for the timely message. If only modern Americans understood how much divorce breaks God's heart! If only we'd commit to pursuing God first!
Thumbs up on this video!!!!This is worth sharing with many who are married and to many who are courting or 'dating'.The 'dating game' is a dangerous trap for young people.Get strong in the Lord,grow and mature in Christ......pray and seek the face of God for a godly wife or husband.THE GREAT THING ABOUT YT IS THAT WE CAN FAVORITE AND SHARE VIDEOS LIKE THIS WITH OTHERS AND IT CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
Ephesians 5:20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Ephesians 5:21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Put God First in your family, Than you will have a Godly Family. And a strong Marriage ! Amen !! Great Post!!
@arthurleino Amen....thats the right order.Many out career,themselves,thing children or friends before the Lord and then the marriages falls apart.GOD MUST BE FIRST .
From beginning to the very end this video speaks a message that is significant !! Godliness must be that high priority when praying for a spouse.If you marry someone who is not commited to living a godly life you will have a marriage that is unequally yoked and you will go in different directions. The world is 'watching us' when we say we are christians.Marriage is a symbol of Christ and the church!!
brother david, this is a fantastic video and an even better teaching..I pray that all the brothers & sisters out there watch this and learn from it..I praise GOD that he has made me like paul now....thanks for the vid
This is another great video about marrying a Godly spouse. I love everything you said and the scriptures you used. I take marriage seriously and I want to marry a Godly woman. I believe that when two believers marry in Christ, they are married into one union, the two become one flesh. They are so many divorces going on because people marry for the wrong reasons.
thanks my friend in Christ,this video encouraged me in more ways than one.
This is a huge problem in the church.That is ungodly relationships that discredit and hurt the testimony of the church.When it comes to relationships there is little difference between the church and the world.If you are void of God you are void of godliness.Hope singles take this video seriously !!
This video is sooooooo true. There is soooo much lust in this world and in CHURCHES that it's not even funny. There are people who consider themselves christians, they go out on dates, and refuse to marry someone because they refuse to have sex with them right away!! They need to understand God wants them to find a decent spouse not someone who will easily climb into bed with them!
David, what a powerful and vitally important video. Next to accepting Christ as our Savior there in no other decision more important than choosing the right mate, for life. If anyone out there is about to get married and you have any doubts, then stop. It is never too late to call it off. I wish I had done just that 21 years ago. There were red flags going up and because I had been a widow of 15 years, I chose to ignor them; after all I met him in church; he was involved in ministry;
@milviewgal Part Two...He talked the talked and seemed to walk the walk so I thought he was a godly man. My marriage lasted for 21 years and I am in the middle of a terrible divorce at the age of 73. He was unfaithful, so I do have bibical grounds. The scriptures presented in this video should be memorized by every "single" Christian out there. Believe me, It can save a lot of heartache. No man or woman can make you whole...only in Christ are you made whole! As wonderful as romance is...
@milviewgal Part 3. it can be a trap.You have to look beyond the goose bumps and allow the Holy Spirit to speak to you; truly revealing the character of the one you are comtemplating makeing your spouse Pray ferverntly about this.. Always remember that God wants the very best for your life Do not step our ahead of HIM, if you do you will make a mistake We all want someone to share our life with, on the earthly journey,however, it is better to remain single than to marry the wrong person.
@milviewgal Thank you so much for your honesty, openess, and candor. I'm so sorry this happened to you my sister, but it is much better to be singal than to live with a non believer. I'm keeping you in my prayers. GOD bless you my dear.
Thank you for sharing this video and I am sharing it to my other friends who are looking forward for a godly marriage and as well a godly spouse. Yes I am single and I am blessed with your videos....God bless you and continually burn that flame for God.
married 29 years, we bend together all most 34 years.my better halh ,pat love me and i him. in the same in are looks and we love more now. yes things happen in life. but you get through it together. and grow stronger as the years go. love grows. I love my Pat.. but people will not listen to me. they will listen to some one who live toghter,derverce. sorry on spelling.and listen to them . wow. but yes you can truely love someone. Yeshua,Jesus is there.bell
LOVE THIS VIDEO AND MAY ITS MESSAGE BE HEARD AND PRACTICED BY ALL CHRISTIANS !!! JUST LOOK AT HOW MARRIAGE IS PORTRAYED ON TV AND THE MOVIES.ITS SICKENING !! ITS UNGODLY!! Lets get back to what the bible teaches and lets have godly marriages.So much sexual sin in the church among singles and God is calling them to repent.Keep yourself pure before you get married.These scriptures are all to clear of what God demands and expects from those who say they are christians.5 stars and faved!!
Our government has made sure that the concept of family,the concept of traditional marriage between man and woman is destroyed. Our country is being destroyed from within,our kids are being indoctrinated into an evil system of government sponsored programming. Unless we turn to God and repent.... we are lost.
@mcap52 that's why it's the school job to education them & the parents jobs to show them Godliness cuz when they come home from school parents should be up to date on what there kids learn saying "yes that's the way or one way you can do math" but when it comes to other stuff... parents should know what there kids are learning in school & in the world saying "well some people think this way but God says... blah blah... so just pray about it and ask Jesus to help you know whats right ok?..."

P 1. You R so right. we need 2 B down on our knees praying 4 our families. The LORD is going 2 come get us soon, but it is going 2 get a lot worse B4 it gets better, & Christians need 2 stick together like rain & rainbows 2 wade it out until R LORD comes.
Thanks 4 such an accurate comment on what's going on.
Moms need 2 find their way back 2 nurturing their families, that's what GOD made them 4. & daddies need 2 stop exspecting them 2 get a job they have 1 the kids & that's important.
P 2. Most ppl can step down a notch & live simpleler so that mom can stay home & do what mom's used 2 do. B there 4 the kids and mold them into the kind of person GOD wants them 2 B. Instead of being gone all day or night & letting the TV raise R kids. Look @ what's bcome of R kids. It's scary.
@mammal46 Many have to work,both husband and wife because they live way beyond their means and abuse the use of credit cards and get deep into debt.A simple,frugal life and not wasting money could bring many a mother home.Titus 2 says that the 'younger women are to be keepers of the home.'Engaged couples need to talk about these things ahead of time.Buy a used car,shop at goodwill for clothes and furniture and try to get rid of the credit cards. We must mold their characters and not the media.
@GodlyWorship You get 100 stars for that. There doesn't have to be both working. Ppl care more about collecting their toys, boats, blade runners, new cars, etc...than they do about raising their children to adore GOD.
Christian moms need to home school their children to prevent them from being indoctrinated with all the lies of the world.
Also public schools are the 2nd most dangerous place in America for children. The 1st is in an unsaved woman's womb!
Psalm 12:1" Help ,Lord,for the godly man ceases ! For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men."A godly person is like a rare jewel in a compromised church.It MUST be our aim to live godly so we will have future generations of godly children.To bring a child into a home that is not full of contentment and godliness is just not right.The little one deserves a home full of Gods Blessings.
Weddings and hearing the Vows seem no longer very special because the sacredness of marriage and its purity has been lost in the last few generations.We need to reclaim it and it will start with pure and godly courtships between to sincere Christians.
Finding good examples of godly courtships and marriages in the Church is very hard.For to long we have followed the wisdom of the fallen world in this area instead of the Word of God.In my own family there has been so many divorces or bad marriages.One common issue was that one or both spouse did not put God first.In an youth group I was part of I can name about 8 couples who married as christians but got divorced.Their courtships did lack godliness and they got little if any counseling.
Great follow up to part 1 !! So true...character is what defines us and as the scriptures says we must live godly lives and to follow after godliness.If we do this we will make the right choice when it comes to courting and marriage.Many fall into sexual sin because they are not diligent concerning holiness of life.
So much destruction,so much hurt and pain and so much sin in relationships that do not put Jesus first.We have all seen the heartache caused by seperations and divorce and children born out of wedlock.Thank you for this video !!
As a guy who is a teen and wants to please the Lord am in no hurry and will wait for GODS TIMING.So many get very messed up in this 'girlfriend/boyfriend' stuff as teens who cant yet even drive a car.This is worldy and a waste of time and emotion.To be a virgin ,to stay pure and live godly is number # 1.This video needs to be seen by many church youth groups.FAVED.
As always Brother David Thank You for your ministry. I especially appreciate this, as I have 4 children. I'm sad to say that my daughter has had the worst experiences with "boys" coming from Christian homes,,claiming to be believers. My prayer is for true believers to step out,,8) in ALL areas of their life.
I pray for the youth leaders of our churches and families to disciple future husbands and wives. Thank You for your labors of love~
This is so awesome and so timely.I know so many couples who got married as christians and made vows but are now divorced.Some no longer follow the Lord .SAD,SAD,SAD !!! This is so clear.GOD WANTS GODLINESS and this will in turn give us the strong marriages in the church and the home need.5 stars !
Dear friend I pray that this new video will minister to you.To all singles who love the Lord please take heed to the many scriptures in this message.Feel free to comment and share with your friends on YT or Facebook.This is a vitally important message for all believers.Brother David and family.:))
Thank you for this Video Brother/Sister ! This definitely helps ! Thank Lord Jesus for this Wisdom..

Sometimes it seems right. But it isnt. One must pay strict attention to every word and deed spoken or done by one they deem te be attractive for them. Attractiveness is quite a hollow word really..........it means or should mean so much more than what the eye beholds. If one is *loved* for one's appearance, then one should question if it is deeper than this or not, before acting (marrying). appearances are shallow. Truth, is far harder te find

But sometimes in this world then it is hard to make a marriage when your not allowed to marry because some people would lose the only source of their living so we can't ever Judge someone because it is God who knows a person's heart and all this I feel and I think yes marriage is the best way. But yet in this world then it's not the only way for some people. God Bless You.

Marriage is a holy commitment between the man, woman and God. It is not complete without God at center. I've heard before(and shamefully admit I fell for) the line someone says, "I am not complete without you" Word of advice, if anyone ever says that line to you...run!!! ..because they won't be complete with you either. If someone tells you they are not complete without you they are saying God is not at center if at all in their life. Remember, in Christ, you are complete.

@TheDeb19 God bless you.I pray that this video will reach many young adults like you who one day will be married.As you pray and wait in the Lord and protect your heart one day a godly man will come into your life.Keep you standards high and holy.You seem to have things in proper order.

The Bible says seek the Lord first ; to concider the Lord in all we do . It also says to put Him (God) first and He will see to all of our needs. This encludes, choosing life mates, as well as living a godly life in marriage. God is wisdom. DO not lean to one's own understanding, or what that others says. Listen to God. He will never stir you wrong. Shalom

Nice video, I like the focus on how we need to pursue godliness ourselves. So that we can be a better person for our godly spouse. Have a great day.

Neh.13::27"Should we then hear of your doing all this great evil,transgressing against our God by marrying pagan women?"Ezra 10:2"We have trespassed against our God,and have taken pagan wives from the people of the land.'If you belong to the Lord you must pray for a true Christian to marry.If they are not godly they most likely will turn your heart away from God."Missionary dating" is a big mistake.

@GodlyWorship I agree, and I agree with the message Strongly.
But what about the couple who are married and one has strayed or no longer goes to church with the other one, maybe because of something that happened in church etc. Careful you don't relay a message that they should get a divorce and not try to bring the other one back around?
God Bless. Again I agree if they are not married wait for the right one.
God Bless

@timestandingstill I agree with you 100% .If a wife or husband backslides by all means stay married and live a godly example before them and love them.If a partner turns away from God that would never be grounds for divorce.In Corinth many who were already married ...one got saved and Paul gives inspired advice to stay with the unbelieving spouse if they want to stay within the marriage.Many have come back to Jesus because of the faithfulness of the believing partner.We are on the same page.
GodlyWorship 1 year ago 7
In the early church many who were already married before one partner come to Christ.After that Paul and Peter gave special instructions on how the saved wife or husband should act.Other than that a single christian should marry only in the Lord,that is marry a christian.The Bible never condones a believer to marry a unbeliever.In the O.T.THE LORD commanded them not to take foreign wives of pagan nations.If they did their hearts would follow the pagan gods.

continued: 15But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
16For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
timestandingstill 1 year ago 2
1 Corinthians 7: 12But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
13And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. 14For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.

P 1. Another wonderful video by a GODLY man. Thank you so much for posting these wonderful educational videos. It almost made me cry to think what life might have been like. Had I not made the choices I did when I was young.
My life attests to the truth of this video. I only hope and pray that the maidens who watch this video glean all it's wisdom and act on it, before they make a foolish choice like I did resulting in living in misery & loosing 2 of my 5 children's souls to this world.

P 2. Young women you need to look up to older people who've made the mistakes and are trying to help you prevent from making them. Please don't offer advice to women who are 2x & 3x older than you are. All you really do when you do that is show that you are prideful and arrogant. We were paying our bills while your mom's were changing your diapers. You might be able to teach us how to upload our pics on our cell phones to our PCs, but you have no business trying to teach about life.
mammal46 1 year ago 7
P 3. The most highest calling a woman can have is to her children. GOD gave you a perfect little gift from heaven. It's up to you mom, to mold that sweet little mind into one who loves and appriciates GOD and all His glory. Trust and believe, you don't want to loose any of your children to the world.
Parents need to dedicate their children to the LORD together, the father really needs to be the spiritualy leader of the home. Lead his family in Bible study and prayer. What an awesome blessing
mammal46 1 year ago 6
P 4. that would be. Moms need to submit to her husbands righteous decisions and nuture the whole family her man and kids. We live in such a lost society everyone has lost their way. This whole equality thing. It is true we are all equal in Christ Galations 3:28 but we all have different roles and they are not to be reversed or changed. Our world is falling apart around us. And our worlds start as our families as children.
We need to pray for the sanctity of the family. Help us JESUS~!
mammal46 1 year ago 7
@mammal46 Men must rise up and follow Jesus and be leaders in the home.That is their calling.Thats why the single young ladies need to be praying for a godly husband.I believe America is they whey it is due to men who do not put God as the center of their lives and homes.The prison system tells us most of the men grew up without a godly dad in the home.Christianity starts in the home not in the church.As the home goes so goes the nation.Thanks for sharing.

iheartjoshg 1 year ago 6
A desparate need for godly men,godly single men,godly husbands who will be godly leaders in the home and Church.Young ladies wait for a godly man.And if a young man puts pressure on you for sex resist it and end that relationship.Lust can never produce a holy marriage....NEVER !!!
Matthew633Mom 1 year ago 4
A very sobering reminder that God must be First place in our hearts and lives if we are to bear righteous fruit in our marriages.America is a land of divorce,seperations,unwed mothers and wayward fathers.The 'union' of marriage is now a sham and many just 'live together' with no lasting commitment.Godliness is sometime the farthest thing in the minds of young people in the church but sex is on their minds.Without godliness there will be no self-control.The pulpit is very silent on these sins.
Matthew633Mom 1 year ago 4
One out of two marriages end in divorce and the results and effects on family ,children and friends and church are felt for years to come.I have compassion on those innocent ones who are deeply damaged by this.May God restore them and heal their hearts.Because of this it makes this video all the more important.Young adults listen well.You can and must have a godly courtship.

One of the reasons I was so drawn to my church, beyond the bold & faithful preaching of God's Word, is how tenderly my pastor speaks of his wife & family. At age 70, he recently said of his lovely wife, "She is a vision." She is still attractive to him, & surely, at her age, it has little to do with outward appearance, but the intimate inner workings of their combined hearts & love for Christ. It's truly a beautiful thing & a great sign that he is a really good shepherd. Great job, David!

Thumbs up on this video!!!!This is worth sharing with many who are married and to many who are courting or 'dating'.The 'dating game' is a dangerous trap for young people.Get strong in the Lord,grow and mature in Christ......pray and seek the face of God for a godly wife or husband.THE GREAT THING ABOUT YT IS THAT WE CAN FAVORITE AND SHARE VIDEOS LIKE THIS WITH OTHERS AND IT CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

From beginning to the very end this video speaks a message that is significant !! Godliness must be that high priority when praying for a spouse.If you marry someone who is not commited to living a godly life you will have a marriage that is unequally yoked and you will go in different directions. The world is 'watching us' when we say we are christians.Marriage is a symbol of Christ and the church!!

This is another great video about marrying a Godly spouse. I love everything you said and the scriptures you used. I take marriage seriously and I want to marry a Godly woman. I believe that when two believers marry in Christ, they are married into one union, the two become one flesh. They are so many divorces going on because people marry for the wrong reasons.
thanks my friend in Christ,this video encouraged me in more ways than one.

This video is sooooooo true. There is soooo much lust in this world and in CHURCHES that it's not even funny. There are people who consider themselves christians, they go out on dates, and refuse to marry someone because they refuse to have sex with them right away!! They need to understand God wants them to find a decent spouse not someone who will easily climb into bed with them!

David, what a powerful and vitally important video. Next to accepting Christ as our Savior there in no other decision more important than choosing the right mate, for life. If anyone out there is about to get married and you have any doubts, then stop. It is never too late to call it off. I wish I had done just that 21 years ago. There were red flags going up and because I had been a widow of 15 years, I chose to ignor them; after all I met him in church; he was involved in ministry;
milviewgal 1 year ago 2
@milviewgal Part Two...He talked the talked and seemed to walk the walk so I thought he was a godly man. My marriage lasted for 21 years and I am in the middle of a terrible divorce at the age of 73. He was unfaithful, so I do have bibical grounds. The scriptures presented in this video should be memorized by every "single" Christian out there. Believe me, It can save a lot of heartache. No man or woman can make you whole...only in Christ are you made whole! As wonderful as romance is...

@milviewgal Part 3. it can be a trap.You have to look beyond the goose bumps and allow the Holy Spirit to speak to you; truly revealing the character of the one you are comtemplating makeing your spouse Pray ferverntly about this.. Always remember that God wants the very best for your life Do not step our ahead of HIM, if you do you will make a mistake We all want someone to share our life with, on the earthly journey,however, it is better to remain single than to marry the wrong person.

@mcap52 that's why it's the school job to education them & the parents jobs to show them Godliness cuz when they come home from school parents should be up to date on what there kids learn saying "yes that's the way or one way you can do math" but when it comes to other stuff... parents should know what there kids are learning in school & in the world saying "well some people think this way but God says... blah blah... so just pray about it and ask Jesus to help you know whats right ok?..."

Thanks 4 such an accurate comment on what's going on.
Moms need 2 find their way back 2 nurturing their families, that's what GOD made them 4. & daddies need 2 stop exspecting them 2 get a job they have 1 the kids & that's important.

P 2. Most ppl can step down a notch & live simpleler so that mom can stay home & do what mom's used 2 do. B there 4 the kids and mold them into the kind of person GOD wants them 2 B. Instead of being gone all day or night & letting the TV raise R kids. Look @ what's bcome of R kids. It's scary.
We need 2 take R kids back.

@mammal46 Many have to work,both husband and wife because they live way beyond their means and abuse the use of credit cards and get deep into debt.A simple,frugal life and not wasting money could bring many a mother home.Titus 2 says that the 'younger women are to be keepers of the home.'Engaged couples need to talk about these things ahead of time.Buy a used car,shop at goodwill for clothes and furniture and try to get rid of the credit cards. We must mold their characters and not the media.

@GodlyWorship You get 100 stars for that. There doesn't have to be both working. Ppl care more about collecting their toys, boats, blade runners, new cars, etc...than they do about raising their children to adore GOD.
Christian moms need to home school their children to prevent them from being indoctrinated with all the lies of the world.
Also public schools are the 2nd most dangerous place in America for children. The 1st is in an unsaved woman's womb!

Psalm 12:1" Help ,Lord,for the godly man ceases !

Weddings and hearing the Vows seem no longer very special because the sacredness of marriage and its purity has been lost in the last few generations.We need to reclaim it and it will start with pure and godly courtships between to sincere Christians.
GodlyWorship 1 year ago 5
Finding good examples of godly courtships and marriages in the Church is very hard.For to long we have followed the wisdom of the fallen world in this area instead of the Word of God.In my own family there has been so many divorces or bad marriages.One common issue was that one or both spouse did not put God first.In an youth group I was part of I can name about 8 couples who married as christians but got divorced.Their courtships did lack godliness and they got little if any counseling.

Great follow up to part 1 !! So true...character is what defines us and as the scriptures says we must live godly lives and to follow after godliness.If we do this we will make the right choice when it comes to courting and marriage.Many fall into sexual sin because they are not diligent concerning holiness of life.
