Romance
The Dangers of Dating:
Scriptural Romance-- Part 1
The subject of romance is one of the most captivating topics dealt with by human beings. From childhood relationships between boys and girls was one of my fascinations. Later, when something like "Dating" was the announce theme for a youth meeting, I was quite motivated to attend--quite attentively. Even as an adult I still find the issue of relationships between men and women to be intriguing. I've even noticed that older people--grandparents--seem to enjoy my presentations about Scriptural patterns for romance.
Why is romance seemingly universally captivating?

The Bible According to KIDS
The cute statements below are said to have been written by actual students and are genuine, authentic and not retouched or corrected:
In the first book of the Bible, Guinessis, God got tired of creating the world, so he took the Sabbath off.
Adam and Eve were created from an apple tree.
Noah's wife was called Joan of Ark.
Noah built an ark, which the animals come on to in pears.
Lot's wife was a pillar of salt by day, but a ball of fire by night.
Samson was a strongman who let himself be led astray by a Jezebel like Delilah.
Samson slayed the Philistines with the axe of the Apostles.
Moses led the Hebrews to the Red Sea, where they made unleavened bread which is bread without any ingredients.
The Egyptians were all drowned in the dessert.
Afterwards, Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the ten ammendments.
The first commandment was when Eve told Adam to eat the apple.
The fifth commandment is to humor thy father and mother.
The seventh commandment is thou shalt not admit adultery.
Moses died before he ever reached Canada.
Then Joshua led the Hebrews in the battle of Geritol.
The greatest miracle in the Bible is when Joshua told his son to stand still and he obeyed him.
David was a Hebrew king skilled at playing the liar.
He fought with the Finklesteins, a race of people who lived in Biblical times.
Solomon, one of David's sons, had 300 wives and 700 porcupines.
When Mary heard that she was the mother of Jesus, she sang the Magna Carta.
When the three wise guys from the east side arrived, they found Jesus in the manager.
Jesus was born because Mary had an immaculate contraption.
St. John, the blacksmith, dumped water on his head.
Jesus enunciated the Golden Rule, which says to do one to others before they do one to you.
He also explained, "a man doth not live by sweat alone."
It was a miracle when Jesus rose from the dead and managed to get the tombstone off the entrance.
The people who followed the Lord were called the 12 decibels.
The epistles were the wives of the apostles.
One of the opossums was St. Matthew who was also a taximan.
St. Paul cavorted to Christianity.
He preached holy acrimony, which is another name for marriage.
A Christian should have only one spouse. This is called monotony.
A cheerful heart is good medicine... Prov 17:22a (NIV)
Charles and Susan
One of the frequent questions we are asked is how Susan and I met.
Susan's version of the story:
Hmmm, my version....I think from my side of things I was at a point of giving up on this "meeting people via the internet" thingy! I had tried the "E Harmony" deal...total disaster I might add, then the "Christian Cafe", lots of wolves in sheeps clothing there, and then my friend Kelly said "Try the Reformed singles website."
It took her a bit of reminding me (kinda like nagging) to get me to try it. So I did just that for a trial period of ten days which I then let it expire. Kelly brought it up again and I was challenged to give it one more try. The day after I signed up again I received a short hello from Charles and an inquiry about my studies.
That began a few months of conversations which I like to tell others was our getting to know one another from the inside out. It was a wonderful experience for both of us. It was even grander when we met and felt that what we saw on the outside was awesome too!
Due to the distance between us, 959 miles to be exact, our courtship was limited to visits which we arranged so that family members and some of you could be a part of our discoveries of each others lives. Thank you again to all of you who have supported us and graciously opened your hearts and homes to us in the process.
I am thankful that Charles now lives in DeLand and that even though his job has him traveling he can come home to where I am. We are enjoying being just five minutes from each other in a small town where every time we go to the grocery store we run into people we know...or don't (funny story, for more details just ask!)
Charles' version of the story:
Let me begin by saying I am grateful to God for His providence. I had joined a web site called Sovereign Grace Singles and had met some wonderful people. A friend from that site had met someone and they became engaged. Though it had been many months since I had logged in, I wanted to catch up on their plans so I took a quick look on the site. It was then that I noticed Susan's photo on the log in page and let's just say there was a definite attraction.
I e-mailed her and she actually replied. E-mails led to yahoo instant messaging which led to phone calls and that led to me flying to Florida for a visit over Easter weekend.

That weekend was more of a confirmation as my heart was captured by Susan during the conversations we had over the weeks before our first visit.
Their Post-Wedding Website:

Welcome to the new & improved web site of Susan and Charles Bennett. The old site pointed to the wedding which has now been celebrated.
We hope that this site will be as well received as the last and that everyone will enjoy the things we share with you.

Worldview Super Conference II
Visit Our Sponsor
Christianity in America was dealt a serious blow at the infamous Scopes Trial of 1925. After our hollow victory, Christians retreated from American public life with their tails tucked between their legs. Over the next 50 years, we allowed Secular Humanism to replace Christianity as the official religion of America. As a result, cherished freedoms to express our Christian faith were eroded before our eyes. The killing of pre-born babies was legalized. Violent crime rose to the most staggering levels in our nation's history. The quality of education plummeted to new depths. It wasn't until 1975 ...
Geneva Bible
Visit Our Sponsor
When the Pilgrims arrived in America in 1620, they brought along supplies, a consuming passion to advance the Kingdom of Christ, a bright hope for the future, and the Word of God. Clearly, their most precious cargo was the Bible. Have you ever wondered what version of the Bible the Pilgrims brought to America on the Mayflower? Believe it or not, it was not the King James Version of 1611. It was actually the 1599 Geneva Bible - a forgotten yet priceless treasure.
