NEW CHRISTIAN DATING SITE BASED ON DISCIPLESHIP, OBEDIENCE TO GOD’S WORD

In the world of on-line Christian dating services, frankly, it’s hard to tell the difference between secular sites and Christian sites. Starting today with the launch of Dating Disciples.com (www.DatingDisciples.com), that’s all about to change.

Dating Disciples.com is a unique Christian dating service based on discipleship and obedience to God’s word. The site offers a variety of Bible-based tools and features, along with the latest dating site communications technologies. It also features an innovative referral plan that enables members to get full services for free.

“Dating Disciples.com is based on 2 Timothy 3:16-17, which says, ‘All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work,’” said Michael Price, founder. “Millions of people are turning to the Internet to ‘find’ the right person. The word of God tells us how to ‘be’ the right person. When we truly ‘seek ye first the Kingdom of God,’ everything else – including the mate God may have for us – will be ‘added unto’ us.”

Price said many dating sites match people based on computer programs or the advice of secular psychologists. “God is the ultimate matchmaker (Matt. 19:6), not a ‘relationship expert’” he said. “Dating Disciples.com encourages people to seek Him, know His word, obey it and be led by His Spirit.”

“The Apostle Paul said in Philippians 4:19, ‘My God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.’ People whose needs are met make much better choices in relationships,” he said.

Dating Disciples.com features on-line Bible searches and Bible studies, scripture set to music, audio sermons for singles, forums for discussions and prayer, scripture e-cards and evangelistic “Flash” movies
