Relationships are not about themselves, but God arranges them to help bring His Kingdom. The first woman and man were made for different purposes, but both for this mission, resulting in an asymmetry of leading and divine empowerment.

Is this one I am dating “the one”?

Is this one I am dating “the one”?

By Sam A. Andreades February 1, 2017 June 10, 2017 0

If you are dating and the relationship has persisted for a while, you reach a point of asking, “Is this the one? Should we be together? Should we go for it, that momentous move called marriage?” It is exciting and dizzy and, yes, scary. Is this the one? Here’s how to tell.   The Bible supplies important wisdom on this point. …

What's a Real Man? What's a True Woman?

Is gender real? Does it matter in relationships? What does God think about it? So many diverse questions on peoples' lips today come down to the same thing: What does gender mean? Is it a construct of society or self-perception? Or is it a gift to foster intimacy and fruitfulness in our relationships?

.

This site fosters honest and thoughtful conversation about the pressing issue of gender. I write from a Christian perspective, placing great value on the Bible's wisdom about it. But just understanding the Bible's message on gender is a big job for our time, and so part of what we discuss here. We also take up questions posed by our current culture's sometimes confusing views on women & men, relationships and identity.

.

If you are new here, you might want to start with the Big Picture posts, Three Questions... and Want It In A Nutshell?, briefly outlining what I see as the seven main principles of gender.

.

The posts consist of commentary on current events, excerpts from my general book, transgenderism book, or book on dating, Biblical exposition, praise for the culture’s gender goodness and ruminations on its errors as I see them. We also welcome guest posts from gender-savvy writers.

.

Read, think, and join the conversation!
