What do you value and appreciate in your friendships and relationships?
If they don’t put God before me and themself. That is a big red flag - if they make God a priority and then put all worry and love into god, then that is the best Green Flag ever

A little compromise, but so many couples are lacking it!🍌🍌🍉🍉
Amen!!! Great message Pastor Craig God Bless you
Trust
1. They don’t consistently pursue Jesus. Not a committed follower of Jesus.
2. When those you love, don’t love who you’re dating.
3. When you don’t face healthy conflict.
4. When you find it difficult to trust the one you love.
5. When the person you’re dating is leading you away from Jesus.
Why are they doing this?!🤷🤷🤷🤷
Thank you for taking the time to write out this outline for the rest of us!
Pastor Craig is correct, when I was in college I dated a girl who was a lot of "fun," but my friends and parents did not care for her. I knew in the back of my head that she was not morally good for me, fortunately for me she broke up with me, and a few years later I married a woman that became my best friend!
I love that story Bill Ashby, This is encouraging and gives good feelings knowing you are blessed. Thank you, for sharing -Team LC Ronnie
Quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to become angry! 🙌🏻
Good point...period!⚫⚫🤯🤯
I listened to this, in order to weigh myself. To see if I was worthy of someone dating me. Great message! 🙏
@jesussavesrick Great idea! Hopefully you're ready
Man these teachings are always seem to be exactly what I’m going through 😭
Same Brother😅
Same here
God's timing is perfect!
SAME! Isn’t God amazing!
I want to be closer to Jesus in all my relationships and all things in Jesus Name!
This was such a good sermon.
Wow...period!🎀🎀🎀🎀
amen
Great relationship advice! Should be taught in Jr high and high school!
But how? Teens are struggling!🛀🛀🛀
@@melaniemartin730 As a person that's been a youth Leader for decades, that's EXACTLY WHY it should be taught in Mid hi/ High School.
I actually was thinking about how I COULD teach this to my current youth group
@mtbiker841 YES TRUE! (see other comment)
I'm so glad I found this sermon.
I had to break up with someone because of the last red flag.
Thank you, I needed the reminder. It's not easy to shut someone out of my life, when in the beginning, I believe it was meant to be. In the end, the Holy Spirit was telling me to get out. I hope someday the reason is revealed to me. My heart is still broken, but I believe it will be healed. All in His timing.
God bless! 🙏
I missed all the red flags , and now I regret it ….
Amazing sermon! Thank you! 🙏🏻
Definitely not what everyone wants to hear but definitely what we need to hear, wish I would of known this before my first marriage, this is definitely the biggest eye opener I've seen in the last couple months🙏🙏🙏 God Bless thank you Life Church❤️
❤️😊
This is a great message, thanks Pastor Craig!
I want to be closer to Jesus
Help me to honor you 💖
Help me in my relationship & put Jesus 1st
Goodmorning Pastor Craig and the entire life Church Family watching from Bahamas, Blessings 🙏❤
I’ve had friends date unbelievers who come to Jesus BECAUSE of them. So, there are upsides, and the Bible does mention marriages with unbelievers. - I understand that is a harder path, but is possible if your partner is open to it. And it’s so beautiful to see them come to God. (An example of someone well known is Lee Strobel, who was an atheist and his wife was a Christian). Obviously this is something you have to pray about, and really listen to what God wants for you.
I definitely think red flag 5 is the most important one to look out for, so I agree that if someone pulls you away from God then you need to break up with them.
Yes it does happen, but as Christians we are called to be equally yoke so we avoid the hardships that can come with dating an unbeliever. The Bible says in Amos, "How can two walk in one accord if they do not agree." Waiting on what God has for you is so key.
God Bless you!

I neglected the red flag, 20 yrs later my life is full of regret, however, I have separated from the abusive marriage and totally found complete peace in the Lord God almighty, thank you Pastor
Amen! 🙌🙏

Amen
I want to always be more closer to Jesus more. Every Day and include God also.
Be closer to Jesus
Some people have common sense and others don't have common sense. You don't have to ask if he's a Christian, you will see by what says and by his actions.
I've met Christians who are doing God's work, but still have not a lick of common sense. God can still use them and loves them the same ❤️
-Kat
Please pray for me and my girlfriend, I think we got 2-3 red flags. She's not a genuine christian, though she is interested in it. Please pray for her salvation, even if we won't work out; please pray that she will love Jesus.
Lord,
We know the paths You have for us are amazing and so much better than our own. Please guide and strengthen Kenji for his faith in You and help his girlfriend to see Your love through Kenji so she can see You and committee to following You whether it is with Kenji or not. Allow Your Spirit to work in both of them and let them be able to grow in You in Jesus' name Amen.

I am quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.
I am currently learning how to not be a red flag
This just came at the right time. I went on a date two days ago and after that I had this clarity that this is not the person I would see myself getting married to or being in a committed relationship with. The date went okay but unfortunately most of my friends are not godly so they thought I am really choosy when I said the date was okay butI didn't have that sense of peace deep down and I can't date someone whose heart doesn't belong to Christ. I feel like this message was particularly meant for me. May God see me through as I continue seeking God's kingdom
God bless you. Cheers to u for your strength and wisdom

this video describes EXACTLY what I'm going through!!! My soon-to-be ex-husband is extremely abusive and narcissistic, he had severe anger issues and neglected me. he also emotionally and verbally abused me. I didn't want to believe the warning signs and ignored it, Pastor Craig is right!!!! I'm going to write a book about my experiences about surviving domestic violence and how I'm learning to say no and stand up for myself. Jesus rescued me

Oh no!🔥🔥🔥🔥
I hope you do. I also was in that kind of relationship, and he even presented as a godly man in the beginning. Ironically enough he introduced me to this channel. But watching this video, I was gonna have him watch it with me, but the opportunity didn't come, as we already were becoming more distant because I insisted on our time together being productive, and not falling into the trap of the "Netflix and chill" equivalent.(I don't have Netflix) I shudder that I could've fallen for the concept that we "need" to get married soon based on 1 Corinthians 7:9. We can all keep learning, and helping each other to live productive lives and avoid such relationships and so on. Be blessed today

What about the red flags that funny show up till after you get married.
What do we mean by red flags?♨️♨️♨️♨️
Melanie Martin Red flags are meant to be warning signs to prevent you from making a bad decision. In other words, you do not really know your choice for a spouse until after the wedding. TeamLC Ronnie

Tamala-Psalms 37:3 Trust God & Do Good
Question: what if a lot of the red flags are prominent n very much are issues in mine n my husbands marriage? We are currently separated, should I go ahead then with filling for divorce if these things are very much been problematic n true for us through at least the last 9 years! It’s caused so much more trauma n sickness to take place in my n my children’s bodies. I need clarification from the Lord that it’s okay to divorce bc I don’t have peace as of yet to start that process… sister in Christ, Jeannie

I question the first red flag. Being a committed Christian doesn't mean you have to talk about your faith every second or minute.
What about Christian and Catholic, I can’t seem to convert to Catholicism for my bf and it has hindered our relationship. I can’t see a future because our beliefs are so different

What if you’re already married?
Jessica you are not alone... God, I lift up this marriage. I ask that you help them both have the heart and eyes to see each other through your eyes. I pray that you work in them both, giving them a willingness to forgive and seek reconciliation. God, I ask for patience as they navigate how you will work in this marriage and choose to put you first. Protect both of them from ungodly influences that strain their marriage and their trust. Work in and through them to bless each other in this difficult time. In your name, Amen.

Why would unhealthy couples fight dirty? Help! 😔😔😔
My father was not a Christian before he met my mom and now he is a much better Christian and role model.
Also for point #1 what if the person we like just grew up in a non Christian family or taught wrongly about Christians and needs led to God? I have met many people who don't like Christians because they think they are all religious and Bible thumpers thus avoids them. Then we also have Hosea who God had married an adulteress women.
Luke,
Praying for those who don't believe is a good start. Plus, you can ask God to show you ways to show them the love of Jesus.
🙏❤️

It feels like stories like this were more common decades ago. These days people choose to be who they want to be and it's very difficult to get them to be who you think they should be.
