What I’ve Learned Since I Kissed Dating Goodbye by Josh Harris
Most of you know Josh Harris as the “I Kissed Dating Goodbye” guy. I have gotten to know him as a great preacher of God’s word. He blogs regularly and is even my Facebook buddy (though I’m really just more of a fanboy…).
A recent post of his caught my eye: What I’ve Learned Since I Kissed Dating Goodbye (Josh Harris)
“I still stand by the message of that book that premature, short-term romantic attachments can be a big distraction from serving God—especially for teenagers. But in the years since I’ve also seen that a legalistic application of these ideas can be unhelpful, too. One of my main concerns in my church or any other church is that there be no disunity among Christians over issues of dating and courtship. We need to learn to hold our own convictions on this matter with charity. Most importantly we need to make sure that our convictions are shaped by scripture—not culture, church culture or my books.”
