DEAR SINGLE FRIEND,

       There is no need to be alone!  If you do not want to be
alone and you believe God does not want you to be alone,
then you can do something about it besides sitting and
waiting.  If you have a phone, a pen, some spare coins and
the desire to meet others, then all you have to do is be a
Ruth and present yourself to the Boazes that are out there
looking for you, or be an Issac and let these resources be
your servants to bring you together with your Rebeckah.

       Jesus said the sparrows are provided for, but even the
sparrows have to get out of their nests and get out into the
world to find the food God has provided for them.  Even so,
you too will probably have to get out of your nest or rut and
get out into the world to find, or be found by, the mate God
has for you.  The seekers are promised to find, so if you want
to find you had better be seeking.
Sexual harassment laws today make it almost impossible to
initiate relationships at work, and even at some educational
institutions. The resources below are specifically designed
for professionals and adults who want to meet like minded
people.The helps below are offered to help you get out of
your nest and find your provision from
God.

>>>I. Agencies that serve Christian singles.
       A.  I don't know if this one is still operating.  I would
write and ask first.
       It is so interdenominational that even Catholics use this
one. It is interracial and cross cultural serving the Christian
community. I know this one personally and know a number
of people who say they are very happy with the people they
met. Don't list your phone number unless you are prepared
for numerous calls and are prepared to run the risk of
getting unwanted nut calls. Don't list your phone number if
your address is in the phone book because you don�t want
any nut cases knocking on your door.
       Let the agency screen most of the inquiries. No fees,
donations only, free    brochure/samples ---write

>>>SOME SCRIPTURAL GUIDELINES
       1. God makes it very clear in His Word#1 (last page)
that He, as our Heavenly Father, instructs us not to �go with�,
become engaged to, or marry anyone who is not a believer
who is obeying the Word of God.  Being the Loving Father
our God is, and the all wise King that Jesus is, God instructs#2
us for our own well being  that an obedient believer should
not �go with�, become engaged to, or marry any �believer�
who is disobeying God�s instructions, or any �believer� who
believes or teaches things that contradict or are in conflict
with God�s teachings in the Bible.  Yes, that really narrows
the way for finding a godly mate and drastically reduces the
number of eligible people but those who have been down the
road can tell you that it is better to marry right than wrong,
and that it is better not to marry than to marry wrong.  It
just makes the miracle of God�s provision even more
miraculous, like Elijah pouring all that water over the
sacrifice to be burned before God sent the consuming fire
from Heaven. You have to have Faith in God to walk with
God. You have to really trust Him before you can turn your
hopes and dreams over to Him for His decision.
       2. If you have no need of marital affectionate/sexual
intimacy, a gift from God, you have the wonderful
opportunity to serve God with fewer "distractions", to spend
much more time with Him in the Word and prayer, and with
others in ministry.  David Hocking's book on singles
beautifully explains 1 Corinthians 7:1,7,,20,25-35 and the
great opportunity the single life presents to those who want
more fully to seek and follow God with their whole heart.
Singles groups for such people are fellowship opportunities,
and provide the opportunity to bond with friends and
minister to the Body of

Christ.
       3. If your calling and gift is to marry, how do you seek
and find that partner?  First of all you have to have your
priorities right because marriage can become an idol just like
anything else on earth can. You have to make very sure that
Matthew 6:33,34; Proverbs 3:1-8; Psalms 37:1-6; and 2
Timothy 2 are daily very real or else even our prayers are in
vain (1 John 3:22,23 and 1 John 5:14,15).  Next we have to
come to the place of Luke 22:42 and Romans 6:4,11, 12,13---
-the place of death to self and resurrection to Love which
seeks not its own way/things---SO THAT WE ARE READY TO
ACCEPT WHOEVER HE GIVES TO US, EVEN IF HIS CHOICE
SEEMS TO FALL FAR SHORT OF OUR DREAMS AND
FANTASIES.  With our "seed" dead in the ground, He can
raise us to a new life of marriage in His will. You literally
have to die to your wants and tastes in physical appearance,
personality, color hair or eyes, height, talents, income, status
etc. and be ready to accept whoever He gives to you and you
will have doubt-free peace of heart and mind if you are
ready and accepting the one  He gives to you.  Your only
concern should be that your prospective mate meets God's
requirements in the Bible for a godly, Spirit-led and Spirit-
filled man/woman.
       Jesus said, �Seek and you shall find.� Seeking one's
mate can be as active a process as Ruth's and Queen Esther's
or it can be as privately surprising as Adam's awakening to
Eve for the first time. You can count on God to lead you
according to His word (Proverbs 3:5,6; Romans 8:14). You can
trust Him to put His ideas/desires in your heart/mind and
the opportunities to act on them (Philippians 2:13; Hebrews
13:20,21).  Like Adam, you can wake up to her in your life in
His time.  Like Isaac, a parent figure can help you find God's
choice for you.  You can just be going about your daily
activities like Rebekah and, in a moment of compassionate
assistance to a stranger, you can find your mate.  Like Ruth,
you can commit yourself to God's service, make a Godly
decision to step out of one situation and into another and in
that new situation be led and advised to do what seems like
an ordinary work day decision but which results in your
meeting your mate quite unexpectedly.
       Following wise and Godly counsel of Godly counselors
like Ruth, you might be led to offer yourself as wife to a
Godly man who obviously cares for and admires you but for
some reason feels unworthy to ask you to be his wife.  Like
David meeting Abigail, you could just be going about your
daily walk in the Lord, meet a godly woman you admire and
respect but who seems unavailable just to quite
unexpectedly find that she is both available and ready to
marry you.  Like Abigail, you could find yourself in a trying
and difficult situation with no relief in sight, but by living
wisely and Godly in that situation impress and build a
relationship with the one you will eventually marry.

       With today�s laws about sexual harassment, any wise
male will think long and hard before he compliments a
female on her female beauty or appearance, long and hard
before he will let her know he likes her and is interested in
getting to know her personally, long and hard before he will
ask or suggest that they go out on a date.  Because of the
sexual harassment laws the only way a woman might know a
man is interested in her is by what his eyes show, and it is
now virtually up to the woman to tell the man that if he is
interested, she would like to get to know him better and get
together to talk. This is very hard for a woman because of
the chance of misreading his eyes and being rejected and
embarrassed.  That�s why women more than ever need
singles� and couples� agencies and the KEY described in the
next paragraph.
       THE KEY IS IN GENESIS 24:27.  Being in His way, doing
His things, saying His Words He leads you to the where and
the who of your future. It may even seem like blind faith
but it has to be absolute trust in His working all things
together according to the counsel of His own will (Ephes.
1:11; Phil. 4:6,7) free of worry, anxiety and fretting, with a
soul at rest and in peace knowing that your Shepherd-King
will take care of the need for you in His time with the person
of His choice, not necessarily of your choice. YOU MUST
TRUST HIM TO USE HIS WORD AND THE TRUTH OF ROMANS
14:22,23 WITH PHILIPPIANS 4:6,7 to guide you.  He can
bring scriptures to mind to guide and direct you.  But the
final test is the Spirit's gift of doubt-free peace of heart and
mind.  Move and rest in that peace.  Consider every doubt
and uneasiness of spirit to be God's Romans 14 and Phil. 4
signal to you that you  shouldn't do the thing in question
because either it is the wrong thing and you don't realize it
yet, or it is the right thing but you shouldn't do it yet.  So
you don't say it or do it until your consciousness is filled
with His doubt-free peace and rest of spirit about
it/him/her.
4. What does the Bible say about sexual morality?
       JESUS AND THE APOSTLES TOOK THE  SAME OLD
TESTAMENT HEBREW AND GREEK WORDS  (SEPTUAGINT) FOR
IMMORALITY/FORNICATION AND USED THEM IN THE NEW
TESTAMENT WITHOUT CHANGING THEIR MEANINGS. HE DID
CHANGE THEIR PENALTIES/PUNISHMENTS IN THIS LIFE ON
EARTH.  Matt. 5:17 � Think not that I am come to make void
the law or the prophets; I am not come to make void, but to
fulfill. 18  For verily I say unto you, Until the heaven and the
earth pass away, one iota or one tittle shall in no wise pass
from the law till all come to pass. 19  Whosoever then shall
do away with one of these least commandments, and shall
teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of the
heavens; but whosoever shall practice and teach [them], *he*
shall be called great in the kingdom of the heavens.  Matt.
23: 1 � Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples, 2
saying, The scribes and the Pharisees have set themselves
down in Moses' seat: 3  all things therefore, whatever they
may tell you, do and keep. But do not after their works, for
they say and do not,
       PREMARITAL SEX AND PREMARITAL PETTING IS
FORNICATION. BREAST AND GENITAL INTIMACY ARE
APPROPRIATE ONLY WITH YOUR OWN MATE IN YOUR OWN
MARRIAGE. Ezekiel 23:2  Son of man, there were two women,
daughters of one mother. 3  And they did sexual sin in Egypt;
they did sexual sin in their youth: there were their breasts
pressed, and there were handled the nipples of their
virginity.  8  Neither left she her sexual sin [brought] from
Egypt; for in her youth they had lain with her, and had
handled the breasts of her virginity, and poured their
fornication upon her. 21  And you did look back to the
lewdness of your youth, in the handling of your nipples by
the Egyptians, for the breasts of your youth.  Proverbs 5:18
Let your fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of
your youth.  19  [Let her be as] the loving hind and pleasant
roe; let her breasts satisfy you at all times; and be ravished
[enraptured/intoxicated] always with her [erotic] love. 20
And why will you, my son, be ravished
[enraptured/intoxicated] with some other woman, and
embrace the bosom of an alien stranger?  21  For the ways of
man [are] before the eyes of the LORD, and he ponders all his
goings. 22  His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself,
and he shall be held with the cords of his sins.
       SEXUAL INTIMACY OUTSIDE OF/WITHOUT MARRIAGE
IS UNACCEPTABLE TO GOD AND ETERNAL LIFE. Exodus 22:16
� And if a man seduce a virgin who is not covenanted-to-
marry, and lie [sexually] with her, he shall certainly endow
her to be his wife. 17  If her father utterly refuse to give her
unto him [as wife], he shall weigh money according to the
dowry of virgins.   Deut. 22:25  But if a man find a
covenanted-to-marry young woman in the field, and the
man force her, and lie [sexually] with her; then the man only
that lay [sexually] with her shall die: 26  But unto the young
woman you shall do nothing; [there is] in the young woman
no sin [worthy] of death; for as when a man rises against his
neighbor, and slays him, even so [is] this matter: 27  For he
found her in the field, [and] the covenanted-to-marry young
woman cried, and [there was] no one to save her. 28  If a
man find a young woman [who is] a virgin, who is not
covenanted-to-marry, and lay hold on her, and lie [sexually]
with her and they be found; 29  Then the man who lay
[sexually] with her shall give unto the young woman's father
fifty [shekels] of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he
humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.
PROVERBS 5, 6, &7 on premarital extramarital sex.  Lev.
18:20  And you shall not lie sexually with your neighbour's
wife, to become unclean with her.  1 Corinthians 6:9 � Do you
not know that unrighteous [persons] shall not inherit [the]
kingdom of God? Do not err: neither fornicators [those who
have sexual intimacy either outside of their own marriage or
without being married], nor idolaters, nor adulterers [those
who have sexual intimacy either with someone else�s mate or
without a godly marriage], ...shall inherit [the] kingdom of
God.  1 Corinth. 6:13  ... the body [is] not for sexual sin, but
for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. 15  Do you not know
that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then, taking
the members of the Christ, make [them] members of a
female who does sexual sin? Far be the thought. 16  Do you
not know that he [that is] joined to the female who does
sexual sin is one body? for the two, he says, shall be one
flesh. 17  But he that [is] joined to the Lord is one Spirit. 18
Flee sexual sin. Every sin which a man may practice is
without the body, but he that commits sexual sin, sins
against his own body. .... 1 Corinthians 7:1 Now concerning
the things about which you wrote to me, [it is] good for a
man not to be touching a woman.  2. Nevertheless, [to avoid]
sex sin every man is to be having his own woman and every
woman is to be having her own man.....8.I say therefore, to
the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide
[unmarried] even as I.  But if they do not abstain [from
touching/having one], they are [commanded] to marry.   For
it is better to marry than to burn  [passionately]......36. But if
anyone think that he behaves himself improperly toward his
virgin, if she  has become marriageable,  and so it must be,
he is [commanded]  to do what he wishes; he does not sin;
they are [commanded] to marry.  37. Nevertheless he who
stands steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but has
power over his own will, and so has determined in his heart
that he will keep [as is] his virgin, does well. [See 1
Thessalonians 4:1-8.]  1 Timothy 5:11 But refuse [to enroll]
younger widows; for when they have sensuous impulses
contrary to Christ, they wish to marry.... 14. Therefore I
desire that younger [widows] marry, bear children, manage
the house,  give no occasion to the adversary to speak
reproachfully.  [The difference between the old testament
commands to marry (see above) and the New Testament
commands to marry is that in the Old Testament God tells
one who He commands one to marry, and in the New
Testament He just commands one to marry and leaves it up
to the one to find out who to marry by Phil. 4:6 & Romans
8:14]


>>>THE SINGLES' QUESTIONNAIRE
I have prepared this screening questionnaire to be used to
screen contacts or to use as a get acquainted tool before the
first date to be discussed and compared on the first date.  No
one should date a complete stranger without using some well
prepared screening device.  These aren�t the good old days.
If you have any questions or comments about my screening
questionnaire, please contact me at: L. Tyler, P.O.Box 620763,
San Diego, CA 92162-0763

Test/Examine/Scrutinize Everything! That includes the
people you meet and become involved with. Hold
Fast/Tightly That Which is Good!  After you have found that
the person has God and His goodness filling that person�s life,
HANG ON TO THAT PERSON! 1 Thess. 5:21
He who finds a godly mate, finds a good thing!  It is good to
be zealous about good things.
Whatever you find to do, do with all your might as unto the
Lord. Seek and you shall find.


SO DO IT!  BUT DO IT BEFORE YOUR HEART IS HOOKED ON A
FEELING!  DO IT BEFORE YOU START SEEING EACH OTHER
REGULARLY OR MAKING COMMITMENTS.

AT LEAST MAKE SURE BOTH OF YOU HAVE DONE THE
FOLLOWING COMPATIBILITY QUESTIONNAIRE (ALONE BY
YOURSELVES), AND HAVE HAD A DATE WHERE YOU  CAME
TOGETHER TO DISCUSS THE COMPLETED QUESTIONAIRE
BEFORE THE LADY GIVES HIM HER HOME ADDRESS, WHICH
MEANS YOU HE DOESN'T PICK HER UP AT HOME  UNTIL THEN.
DO THE QUESTIONNAIRE SEPARATELY, EXCHANGE THEM AND
GO OVER EACH OTHER�S SEPARATELY AND THEN COME
TOGETHER OR PHONE TO DISCUSS THE PROBLEMS, PLEASANT
SURPRISES ETC. THAT YOU�VE DISCOVERED.

consistently and regularly exercise self-control sexually (i.e.

ASKING AND TRUSTING HIM FOR HIS SHEPHERDING/
GUIDANCE,  YOU MEET THE BIBLE'S REQUIREMENTS FOR
ANSWERED PRAYER41 , AND YOU ARE AWARE OF NOTHING
IN THE BIBLE THAT SAYS YOU SHOULDN�T DO IT, DO IT!!!



FOOD FOR THOUGHT ABOUT COURTSHIP BEHAVIOR

PUBLIC NUDITY (BLACK�S BEACH, PORNOGRAPHY ETC.) IS
NOT ACCEPTABLE TO GOD OR FOR A GODLY WOMAN. Ezekiel
16:7  I caused you to multiply, as the bud of the field; and
you did increase and grow great, and you came to fullness of
beauty; [your] breasts were fashioned, and your hair grew:
but you were naked and bare.  8  And I passed by you, and
looked upon you, and behold, you time was the time of love;
and I spread my skirt over you, and covered your
nakedness; and I swore unto you, and entered into a
covenant with you, said the Lord Jehovah, and you became
mine. Ezekiel 16:25  You did build your high place at every
head of the way, and made your beauty to be abhorred, and
you did open wide your feet [offering yourself] to every one
that passed by, and multiply your sexual immorality.. 36
Thus says the Lord GOD; Because your filthiness was poured
out, and your genitalia were seen through your sexual
immorality with your lovers, and with all the idols of your
abominations....; 37  Behold, therefore I will gather all your
lovers, with whom you have taken pleasure, and all [them]
that you have loved, with all [them] that you have hated; I
will even gather them round about against you, and will
show your genitalia unto them, that they may see all your
genitalia. Compare Genesis 3:7, 10,11, 21
       SEXUAL INTIMACY WITH SOMEONE ELSE BESIDES YOUR
MATE BY MEANS OF PORNOGRAPHIC OBJECTS IS SEXUAL SIN.
Ezekiel 16:17  And you did take your fair jewels of my gold
and of my silver, which I had given you, and made to
yourself images of males, and did sexual sin with them.
       PAYING IN ANY WAY SOMEONE WHO IS NOT YOUR
MARITAL PARTNER TO BE SEXUALLY INTIMATE WITH YOU
IS SEXUAL SIN. Ezekiel 16:33  They give rewards to all
harlots; but you gave your rewards to all your lovers, and
rewarded them, that they might come unto you on every
side for your sexual immorality. 34  And in you is the
contrary from [other] women, in your sexual immorality, in
that none follows you to commit fornication; and whereas
you give a reward, and no reward is given unto you, so are
you contrary.  [Note! So a harlot is also a female who does
sexual sin for free or who pays for it, for a feelling or for a
service, for advantage or for a favor..]
       HOMOSEXUALITY, LESBIANISM, SODOMY, SEX WITH
ANIMALS AND OTHER PERVERSIONS ARE UNACCEPTABLE TO
GOD AND EXCLUDES THEIR SUPPORTERS FROM HEAVEN.   Lev.
18:6 � None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin
to him, to uncover [their] genitalia: I [am] the LORD. Lev.
18:22  And you shall not lie [sexually] with male persons as
one lies [sexually] with a female person: it is an abomination.
Lev. 20:13  And if a man lie [sexually] with mankind, as he
lies [sexually] with a woman, both of them have committed
an abomination: they shall certainly be put to death; their
blood is upon them.   Exodus 22:19  --Every one who lies
[sexually] with a beast shall certainly be put to death. Lev.
18:23  And you shall lie [sexually] with no beast to become
unclean it; and a woman shall not stand before a beast to
mate with it: it is perversion. Lev. 20:15  And if a man lie
[sexually] with a beast for copulation, he shall certainly be
put to death, and you shall kill the beast.16  And if a woman
approach unto any beast to mate with it, you shalt kill the
woman and the beast. They shall certainly be put to death;
their blood is upon them.    Lev. 18:26  But you shall observe
my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of
all these abominations: the home-born, and the stranger who
sojourns among you;  27  (for all these abominations have
the men of the land done, who were before you, and the land
has been made unclean);  28  that the land vomit you not
out, when you make it unclean, as it vomited out the nation
that was before you.  29  For whoever commits any of these
abominations, ...the souls that commit them shall be cut off
from among their people.  Romans 1:24  Wherefore God gave
them up [also] in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, to
dishonour their bodies between themselves: 25  who
changed the truth of God into falsehood, and honoured and
served the creature more than him who had created [it], who
is blessed for ever. Amen. 26  For this reason God gave them
up to vile lusts; for both their females exchanged the natural
use for what is against nature; 27  and in the same way the
males also, leaving the natural use of the female, were
inflamed in their lust towards one another; males with males
working [out what is sexually] shameful, and receiving in
themselves the penalty of their error which was due.   1
Corinthians 6:9 � Do ye not know that unrighteous [persons]
shall not inherit [the] kingdom of God? Do not err: neither
fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor males who
make women [catamite homosexuals] of themselves, nor
[male homosexuals/ pederasts] who abuse themselves
[sodomize] with male persons, 10 ......shall inherit [the]
kingdom of God.   1 Tim.1:8  Now we know that the law [is]
good if any one uses it lawfully, 9  knowing this, that law has
not its application to a righteous person, but to [the] lawless
and insubordinate, to [the] impious and sinful, to [the] unholy
and profane, to smiters of fathers and smiters of mothers; to
murderers,10  fornicators, [male homosexual] sodomites,
kidnappers, liars, perjurers; and if any other thing is opposed
to sound teaching, 11  according to the glad tidings of the
glory of the blessed God, with which *I* have been
entrusted. [See Jude 7 also.]
       Normally women seek marital relationships because
they want loving companionship with sexual cherishing and
men seek marital relationships because they need sexual
cherishing with loving companionship.  Either way marital
relationships involve sex. God in the Bible makes it crystal
clear what sexual intimacy is (see above), that it includes
breast and genital petting/ caressing as well as genital
intercourse/coitus/penetration; and the sinful perversions of
lesbianism, homosexuality, sodomy, pederasty etc.. God in
the Bible makes it crystal clear that sexual intimacy is to be
expressed only in marriage with your marital partner in the
way He tells us in the Bible ( 1 Corinth. 7; 1 Thess. 4; 1
Timothy 1:9.10; Hebrews 13 etc.). God also makes it very
clear that any obedient believer who is not successfully
controlling one's self in the Spirit by abstaining from sexual
intimacy until married comes under God's command to
marry an obedient believer in the Lord (1 Corinthians
7:1,2,9,17,36,37,39; and 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8; 1 Timothy
5:11-15).  According to Proverbs chapter 5 and chapter 31
and the Song of Solomon in the Bible, it is quite evident that
for those led by God or by hormonal need- sexual intimacy
should be ecstatic, orgasmic, fulfilling, fun, playful and a
wonderful opportunity to bring thrilling joy into the life of
your marital partner.  God says our bodies are instruments
(Romans 6), and you should become an artist in the playing
of yourself and your mate as  instruments in harmony.
