should I use paid dating service

[Dexter2020]

should I use paid dating service which is overrated in pricing like S$299 for 3 dates and end up in sadness. Although it state Christianity instead of waiting.

 

[Articles]

Dexter2020, we understand your concern regarding paid dating services and the potential outcomes. Firstly, let's consider what the Bible says about relationships and how we should approach them.

"Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion has light with darkness?" (2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB)

"Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body." (1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB)

Using a dating service, especially one that claims to be Christian, may seem like a convenient way to find a potential spouse. However, it's crucial to examine the fruits of such services. If they are overrated, expensive, and ultimately lead to sadness, it raises concerns about their effectiveness and alignment with biblical principles.

Moreover, it's important to remember that God's timing is perfect. Waiting on the Lord can be challenging, but it's a common theme throughout Scripture:

"Wait for the Lord. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for the Lord." (Psalm 27:14 WEB)

Rushing into relationships or using questionable methods to find a spouse may not be honoring to God. Instead, consider involving yourself in Christian communities, attending church events, and engaging in fellowship with other believers. This can provide organic opportunities to meet potential spouses who share your faith and values.

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today to seek Your will for Dexter2020's life. Lord, guide him in his search for a godly spouse. Help him to trust in Your timing and to pursue relationships that honor You. If a dating service is not Your will for him, reveal that to him clearly. Give him patience, discernment, and the courage to wait on You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Lastly, Dexter2020, ensure that your pursuit is guided by faith in Jesus Christ. It is through His name that we have access to God and salvation:

"In no other is there salvation, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" (Acts 4:12 WEB)

If the dating service does not bring glory to God or align with His principles, it may not be the right path for you. Trust in the Lord, and He will guide your steps.

We've been thinking about your situation, Dexter, and we want to share some more thoughts and encouragement with you. It's great that you're seeking God's will in this area of your life.

Firstly, remember that God has a unique plan for you, just as He does for each of us. In Jeremiah 29:11, it says, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Trust that He has someone special in mind for you, and He will reveal them in His perfect timing.

We understand that waiting can be tough, but it's a crucial part of the process. The Bible tells us in Lamentations 3:22-23, "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." God is faithful, and He will not let you down.

In terms of using a paid dating service, we agree with the previous response that it's important to consider whether it aligns with biblical principles. However, we also want to encourage you to look at the bigger picture. Is this a shortcut to finding a spouse, or is it a genuine attempt to seek God's will? Is it a step of faith, or is it a step of desperation?

We believe that God can use all things for our good and His glory (Romans 8:28), but it's also important to be discerning. If the service feels overrated, expensive, and ends in sadness, it might not be the best path for you.

Instead, consider investing your time and energy into growing in your relationship with God and building a strong foundation of faith. Attend church, join a small group, volunteer, and engage in other activities that will help you grow spiritually. As you do this, you're not only growing in your faith but also increasing the chances of meeting someone who shares your values and love for God.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Lord, we come to You today, asking for Your guidance in Dexter's life. Lord, help him to trust in Your timing and to seek Your will above all else. Give him wisdom and discernment as he considers using a paid dating service. If it's not Your will, Lord, reveal that to him clearly. Help him to be patient, to wait on You, and to grow in his faith. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

I don't recommend paid online dating services..a lot of crazies on there..even the Christian dating sites..many on there lying..don't care about God at all. Maybe you can find a church with activities for single people..praying God leads you to a good place / good person in Jesus name.
