Joshua Harris Quotes - Page 2

Every relationship for a Christian is an opportunity to love another person like God has loved us.

Intimacy without commitment, like icing without cake, can be sweet, but it ends up making us sick.

During courtship, guarding each other's purity and refraining from intimacy are the acts of lovemaking.

Wisdom in relationships involves a selfless desire to do what's best for the other person.

Many couples have made commitments to sexual purity, but instead of adopting a lifestyle that supports this commitment, they continue relationships that encourage physical expression and place themselves in dangerous settings. The path you take with your feet should never contradict the conviction of your heart.

Women need to remember that if nature has made them plain, grace can make them beautiful, and if nature has made them beautiful, good deeds can add to their beauty. Grace will make you beautiful and will attract truly godly men to you. Make godliness and inward beauty your priority.

Just because lips have met doesn't mean hearts have joined. And just because two bodies are drawn to each other doesn't mean two people are right for each other. A physical relationship does not equal love.

I'm looking for someone who will light candles, not just curse the darkness.

Terms don't define our lives; our lives define our terms.

The doctrine of Scripture teaches us about the authority of God's Word. Scripture must be the final rule of faith and practice for our lives. Not our feelings or emotions. Not signs or prophetic words or hunches.

Dating now is a lot like going shopping when you don't have any money. Even if you find the right thing, you can't do anything about it.

The thing about relationships is, when you are in the middle of one, they consume your focus.

When you dress and behave in a way that is designed primarily to arouse sexual desire in men, you are committing pornography with your life.

One of my defining beliefs is that Jesus Christ has taken all of my guilt before God, and that he has been raised from the dead. That gives incredible hope and meaning to every day of my life - that nothing done in this world is wasted when it's done for him and his glory, and that there will be a day of justice and reward for the entire world.

God gave people 2 ears and 1 mouth because He wants us to listen twice as much as we talk.

We can each rest in the knowledge that God is sovereign over our life's situation. No matter where we are today or what mistakes we've made in the past, He has given us everything we need to glorify Him right now.
