Companionship is Biblical. "And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him" (Gen. 2:18). Dating is very often a natural occurrence. It may come sooner than one expects. How will you respond to the first date? Will you seek God's guidance as well as parental advice and consent? In this article we want to consider the importance of guidance from, and communication with, parents.

In past articles, we have considered companionship and its Biblical guidelines. We have considered nega­tives and positives in dating. More recently we examined the necessity of guidance from parents. In this issue we will give answers to four critical questions: where are we going, what are we doing, whom will we meet, when will we be home?

This article shows that enduring underserved suffering for Christ’s sake is the way God conforms us to Christ.

This article on Psalm 37:7 is about trusting God’s timing.
