God's Design for Dating

So we began a new series last night based on Song of Songs that will focus on dating!  It was an incredible night with great worship and a great skit (thanks Chris and Nicole!).  Over the next few weeks I will verses and thoughts from Song of Songs.  If you have not ever read the book, read it!  Start here:

Song of Songs 1:1
"This is Solomon’s song of songs, more wonderful than any other."

This is the best of over 1000 songs that Solomon wrote.  Why is it the best?  It is about love, purity, purpose and honoring God.  It is a love song for Solomon's first true love.  It is poetry, lyrical, sweet words with deep meanings.

Song of Songs 1:2-4
Kiss me and kiss me again,
      for your love is sweeter than wine.
How fragrant your cologne;
      your name is like its spreading fragrance.
      No wonder all the young women love you!
Take me with you; come, let’s run!
      The king has brought me into his bedroom.


It is passion with restraint.  It is excitement for what God is doing and what God has in-store!  It is an example of love that Christ shows us each day.
