Caution…Recent Divorces
There is a repeated fact that keeps surfacing in emails to me. It relates to those who are currently or who have recently (2 years) gone through a divorce. The fact is that these individuals are not ready to consider a new relationship. They think that they are ready and often set out to develop new relationships.

Are you struggling with God for an answer?
Often I receive a question from a single adult regarding their struggle with God for an answer.

Dear Jim: Have you let go of the past?
Each of us has been impacted by some event in our past – good or bad. As I grow older, I am reminded over and over that it is easier to slip back into our past. The past should be taken into consideration as lessons. Embrace the good that came from your past, and let go of those things that were negative.
Choosing the right criteria for a soulmate
Christians singles, who are looking or searching dating websites for a soulmate, should be able to look at themselves first, and find the kind of person they are looking for and the qualities that are most valued in a relationship, before trying to meet someone online.

After a divorce many Christians are afraid to date again as they are not sure if they are following God’s laws about divorce. Dr. Jim points out what God requests from us and what divorced Christians should expect or do to make sure they are doing the right thing in the Bible.
Disagreement at the Initial stage of a relationship.
Every single relationship experiences disagreement, however, the ones at the initial stage of the relationship can become big indicators of whether single Christians should pursue a deeper relationship or move on. Dr. Jim explains the best actions to take.
Helping others or being taken?
Being a Christian means things like giving and walking the extra mile for others. But does it mean that single Christians shouldn’t be careful about whom and how, and even if they should help others? Dr. Jim gives guidance for those searching for the “Christian” thing to do.
Dear Jim: Where is the line between helping others and being taken by others?
Most Christian single adults are very caring and giving individuals. They try to live their lives the best they can according to the Bible and the leading of His Spirit. At the same time they are also dealing with the reality of the world around them and the effect the choices of others has and continues to have upon them. This combination too often generates some events that are not always healthy ones.
