Welcome to the Reformed University Fellowship at UNCW Podcast! Each week, we will post the messages from our RUF Large Group meetings at UNCW. This year, we're going to talk about God sets us free to live wisely, beautifully in his world, redeeming all of our relationships. In both this week and next week's talks we look at our modern practice of dating, and seek to find some Biblical wisdom that will us give help and hope.
(*this message contains material from several wise friends: Simon Stokes, Ethan Brown, Stewart Swain and Mac Holt. They deserve any and all credit for the clear illustrations and insightful observations herein.)
Quotes:
“I think … the way we find love is treating people like objects in a marketplace and then we're expected to commit to someone and handle that right … think it's kind of the system is set up against young people pursuing meaningful commitment because we're just not trained to do it. There's all this kind of age-old advice that you need to have experience and try out different people, but what if that just adds to your mindset of … treating people like they're replaceable and upgradable? Then when you do find someone meaningful you don't know how to commit to them properly." — Freya India
“I just want to be friends, plus a little extra. Also I love you.”- Dwight Schrute to Angela.
