This is a collection of some of my Christian poetry, written over the course of over twelve years. I've gone through denominational changes, so that is reflected in some of my poetry. It contains sermons, analysis, prayers, thoughts, hymns, and psal...
- This year, God has been dealing with me about generational curses, and soul ties, in relation to dating and marriage.
Exodus 20:4 (KJV)
"4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth"

- I was exploring in-depth all the meanings of "graven images". This is as a screenshot of the ad. I haven't Googled anything about marriage to get this. I also recall that some Christians were asking about dating nonbelievers. Together, this all reminded me that there is an order of relationships.
1 Corinthians 11:3
" But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God."
1 Corinthians 7:12-15
"To the rest I say (I, not the Lord) that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he should not divorce her. If any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he consents to live with her, she should not divorce him. For the unbelieving husband is made holy because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy because of her husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy. But if the unbelieving partner separates, let it be so. In such cases the brother or sister is not enslaved. God has called you to peace."
2 Corinthians 6:14 (KJV)
"14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?"
- Your future spouse needs to fall in love with God first. If they are God's will for you, you will eventually be joined with them in a godly marriage. They won't have to fake it until they make it, and you won't have to coach them through every single step before marriage. They'll have the Holy Ghost. Wait until they have a loving relationship with God before you try to have one with them; "flirt to convert" often backfires into backsliding.
- We are not supposed to idolize our partner, nor are we supposed to love, want, and praise our relationship more than we love, want, and praise God. Godly marriage brings both spouses closer to God, as they get closer; Christians single and dating Christians should aspire to this standard.
