Quotes by Joshua Harris

Every relationship for a Christian is an opportunity to love another person like God has loved us.

Having a girlfriend was no longer my greatest need. Knowing and obeying Him was . I wanted to please Him in my relationships even if it meant looking radical and foolish to other people - even if it meant kissing dating goodbye.

We want to stay on the straight and narrow path and serve God, yet we continue a practice that often pulls us in the wrong direction.

...for Christians typical dating can often be a swerver - an approach to relationships that wants to go in a different direction than the one God has for us.

Intimacy without commitment, like icing without cake, can be sweet, but it ends up making us sick.

Dating now is a lot like going shopping when you dont have any money. Even if you find the right thing, you cant do anything about it.

Im not saying dating is sinful, and Im not saying a guy and a girl should never spend time alone together. Im saying lets wait until we can be purposeful, so theres a reason behind our relationship, and were not just stirring up passion for the sake of a good time.

“True love isnt expressed in passionately whispered words an intimate kiss or a embrace; before two people are married, love is expressed in self-control, patience, even words left unsaid.”

“The world takes us to a silver screen on which flickering images of passion and romance play, and as we watch, the world says, “This is love.” God takes us to the foot of a tree on which a naked and bloodied man hangs and says, “This is love.”

“When God knows youre ready for the responsibility of commitment, Hell reveal the right person under the right circumstances.”

“The right thing at the wrong tme is the wrong thing.”

“Just because lips have met doesnt mean hearts have joined. And just because two bodies are drawn to each other doesnt mean two people are right for each other. A physical relationship does not equal love.”
