 Christian dating advice from a single Christian guy, part one. Okay, so this is just some of the best advice that I've received and I figured I'd pass it on to you. So when you're evaluating somebody's character, the direction that they're going is much more important than the person they once were. Keep Christ's redemption at the forefront. You'd think we'd be good at this as Christians, but we're not. We too often let what someone's done in their past define them or characterize our perspective of them, but it shouldn't. Through Christ's redemption, they are made new. Someone's past mistakes do not define their identity. Okay, second thing, and this is connected. It's not your job to fix someone, or form them into a person that you want. If you don't like who they are now, do not pursue it. Yes, the hope is that you'd both grow and change in the midst of a relationship, but if you can't accept who they are now, you will never see them as good enough. Follow for part two.
