Online Dating and the Christian Girl
Online dating. It’s a term that causes controversy in the minds of many. We all know the horror stories of creepy online profiles and dates gone wrong. However, I don’t think that online dating has a worse reputation among anyone than Christians.

Friends With Benefits, Jesus, and Love
I was in in the middle of eating lunch and thumbing through my friends’ Snap Chat stories when an article from Cosmopolitan about how to pull off having friends with benefits caught my eye.
