DON'T CHOOSE DATES LIKE CARS

Most young people choose their dates like some folks buy cars.

If it looks good on the outside, it’s the right color, the right style; if it’s interior is pleasing to their eye and pleasing to the touch; and if it’s got all kinds of bells and whistles...that’s the car they want.

Now, if someone else warns them that the engine is underpowered, or that that model of car often has had mechanical problems, they don’t listen. All they care about is that the car "looks good."

And God warns His people... don’t settle for a fancy chassis. Look under the hood. And if the heart of the one you’d like to date loves ME (God says) you might have a pretty good time. But if not, your relationships might be headed for the ditch before long.
