A common question that single Christian people ask when pondering whether or not to use an online dating service is “should’nt I just wait for the Lord to guide me to the right person?“. Is it moral, acceptable, and what does the bible say with regard to this? These are all good questions.
I believe we should tell the Lord that we are seeking a partner in our prayers and that we would hope that it is his Will to provide it. The Lord may answer that you should do nothing and just wait and the right person shall come along. You might interpret this as doing nothing yourself, and if this is how you feel then that is the right course for you. You might also feel however, that the Lord shall provide through your own actions. You might say that part of the Lords provision comes from our own actions that give the Lord something to work on – something to use to guide us. I believe that its fine to use an online dating service as long as you do it with a christian attitude.
