Should unmarried Christian couples holiday alone together?

I thought the answer to this question was fairly straight forward. My friend, Pete Ko, wrote a great blog post a week ago with a really well thought out answer. The thing I’ve been surprised by is how negative some of the comments have been in response to his post.

I think it’s incredibly unwise for unmarried Christian couples to holiday alone together and I would strongly advise against it. Pete agrees. Here are the reasons he proposes:

  • Don’t trust yourselves.
  • God doesn’t want us just to be minimalists in obedience.
  • We are called as Christians to be above reproach.
  • You can wait. You really can.
  • Fight the idol of pleasure at any cost.

Two Ways To Live // On iPhone and iPad

Two Ways To Live is my favourite gospel outline. Learning it as an 18 year old was helpful for my own understanding of the good news of Jesus. Likewise, it has been an amazing tool that has given me a framework for explaining to others the ‘two ways to live’. Matthias Media have recently released two fantastic apps: Two Ways To Live (for iPhone and iPad) and Two Ways To Live Plus (for iPad only).

Both of them are fantastic tools for Christians to have in their pockets/backpacks and there is the option to gift it to someone else.

The basic app comes with the two ways to live outline, with the option to read it or listen to it explained. The plus app includes the outline and some extra video content. There are 13 answers to common questions about Christianity and a few people sharing their own story of becoming a Christian.
