Modern society disregards any absolute standard and leads many young people into relationships that are undefined, unhealthy, or just plain complicated.  But God has provided standards which are good for all people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Christian youth are encouraged to build friendships with a high regard for others, in purity and honesty. Because a &#8220;courtship&#8221; is a friendship that intentionally moves toward marriage.  Although many Christians have messed up in the area of romance, it&#8217;s never too late to seek purity and honor marriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stuart Burgess conveys the importance of upholding the simple Biblical standards and addresses key questions to help the Christian follow God\u2019s design for romance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/borderwatchfilms.com\/store\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/borderwatchfilms.com\/romance\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/CRT_DVDcover_v5_web400sqDVD.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43\" srcset=\"https:\/\/borderwatchfilms.com\/romance\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/CRT_DVDcover_v5_web400sqDVD.jpg 400w, https:\/\/borderwatchfilms.com\/romance\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/CRT_DVDcover_v5_web400sqDVD-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/borderwatchfilms.com\/romance\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/CRT_DVDcover_v5_web400sqDVD-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/borderwatchfilms.com\/romance\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/CRT_DVDcover_v5_web400sqDVD-180x180.jpg 180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<hr>\n<hr>\n<div style=\"padding: 56.25% 0px 0px; position: relative;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 100%; height: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/264134288?color=0ab6db&amp;title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<hr>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Professor Stuart Burgess has lectured worldwide and authored several books on Christian apologetics and on Christian living.
