How to Evaluate a Suitor (Audiocassette)

There he is in his splendor. What a guy! He’s the man who hopes to walk off with your daughter ... hold on a moment. Maybe he isn’t the best thing since sliced bread. Maybe he is trouble with a capital "T." Or maybe he is a great guy, but just not the great guy God intends for your little girl. How can you tell? In this fast-paced message, Doug Phillips explains that the greatest gift a dad will ever give away is his daughter. He examines the biblical qualifications for suitors and concludes that the Bible does not anticipate perfection, but minimal threshold requirements must be met. He examines the need for careful discrimination for determining if two are "equally yoked" and the doctrine of the "bride’s price." Doug also points out biblical examples of wickedness by fathers toward suitors and urges dads to act decisively, but with charity, respect, and love.
