Adventists + Dating // An Open Letter
Dear Brother Who is Eyeing the SDA Girl*, I know it’s taken a lot of nerve and will-power to get to this point – the point at which you feel you can finally, after weeks of shy smiles, admiring glances, and small talk revolving around similar tastes in films and music, get up the nerve [...]
Adventists + Dating // A few resources…
Every human being has been created by God in a unique way. Each person walks down an individualized path that no other person can experience.
