Avoiding Bozos

I was led to share this good WISDOM & sound, biblical advice on dating.

Avoiding Bozos
(From ‘Lady In Waiting’ by Jackie Kendall & Debby Jones)

What is Bozo? A Bozo is a guy who’s outward appearance is a facade. It is hard to discern who he really is because of the “makeup and costume” he wears. 

What he appears to be physically, socially, and even spiritually is just a performance. A Bozo is a counterfeit of a Boaz.

It is possible to avoid such a clown. Your standards and convictions will help your recognize the difference.

As a prerequisite to every date, you should EXAMINE your MOTIVE. Are you going out with this guy because you haven’t had a date in years?

Are you going out with someone who may not really be a Christian because you think a date-even with a Bozo-is better than no date at all?

Many women spend time with guys who do not really care for them. They would rather waste an evening with a Bozo than face another lonely night in a dateless condition. Some women even give up their biblical convictions in order to get a date with a certain guy.

Do you feel as though you allow your dating schedule to determine your personal worth?

Many single women are prisoners of the world’s dating syndrome. They equate their self-worth with how many dates they had last month.

Qualities of Mr. Right

Jesus is #1 in his life, not just an ornament (Eph. 5:18).

Broken; understands how to rely totally upon Jesus (Phil. 4:13).

Ministry Minded; wherever he is, he is available (1 Cor. 4:2 NIV).

Motivator: man of vision, concerned about lost souls (Rom. 10:14).

Sensitive Spirit: in tune to the needs of others (Gal. 6:2).

Understands the awesome responsibility of a husband (Eph. 5:25-31).

Humble enough to be a disciple (teachable) and able to disciple others (Mt. 28:19-20).

Man of prayer; he knows the key to success is his private time with God (Col. 4:2).

Family man; he desires to have children and raise them properly for God’s glory (Prov. 22:6).
Clear standards for dating and relating will guard you against compromise and making wrong choices out of sudden emotion rather than a God-directed will.

To guard you against haphazard feelings or just the “WF’s” (weird feelings) in your heart, you need standards for which you will be accountable.

Impatience

The following is GREAT WISDOM from the book Lady In Waiting (Jackie Kendall & Debby Jones) that has blessed me and I pray what I share does the same for you- Statistics often provoke single women to take more initiative rather than patiently wait for God's best. There are grave consequences for the single woman who does not choose to develop patience and wait on God's timing. Impatience to find a man can cause a woman to argue about her 'right' to date a man who is not Godly, maybe not even a Christian. In Joshua 23:12-14 the Lord warns His people not to marry unbelievers. God knows that an ungodly husband will end up being 'snares and traps for you, whips on your backs and thorns in your eyes'. Many young women argue that they are just dating, not marrying an unbeliever. But think about this-in our society, does anyone ever marry someone he or she never dated? Every date is a potential mate. Marriage to a non-Christian brings pain

Hard Times

It’ s gotten tough Life is no easy task You are blessed to wake up in the morning It doesn’t to say a prayer for a brighter day Countries fued over who runs what part of the world Jobs have become a needle in a haystack Nothing is safe to eat anymore What’s on your mind is the only source of privacy you have nowadays Everywhere you look another business is shutting down People get laid off on a regular basis Crimes have also increased More people are getting robbed out in the streets I guess everythings fine if you don’t worry about these things I’d wake up if I were you Technology has taken over man Why isn’t it vice versa? I’ll admit it I’m afraid to see what this world will come to in the future Nothing is a piece of cake anymore You’re lucky to even get crumbs off the street The Destitute stand out in the streets begging for change 80% of the day cars roll on by with no concern Times have definitely changed Are they for the better or worse? I’m thirty one But this economy makes me

These People

This was written by my oldest brother, Alvin Buchanan. What’s wrong with people? They keep attitudes all the time Rob and kill each other everyday Rape and molest children People have a frightening thought process How do you what they’ll do next? Homes and businesses are burglarized Kidnappings have become frequent Parents are murdering their offspring Family is quick to stab you in the back I don’t understand people at all They take advantage of one another They say cruel things to hurt one’s feelings Spread rumors to defame character People envy, but only look from the outside People are very negative when they’re miserable I wish I could escape people! I don’t feel I’m built for real life Sometimes I feel like I’m something else People enjoy more lies’ than truth I guess it’s easier to deal with My heart goes out to these people I don’t think they know the harm they do in the world all the time If so, what triggers it off?
