Should Freshmen Date in College?

Dating can seem like no man's land. The Bible has much to say about marriage and singleness, but when it comes to dating…radio silence.

But for the Christian, our task is reading the Bible deeply, critically, and imaginatively and allowing God's word to shape our hearts, minds, bodies, and souls. Then with a Christ-formed conscience and a Christ-formed imagination, we can look at questions that the Bible is silent on and miraculously hear God's still, small, quiet voice. So let's begin with what the Bible says about marriage and let those truths overflow into how we conceptualize dating.
