Dear Pastor,
I have a friend who is a Christian. She has a boyfriend, but he is not a Christian. They read the Bible and go to church together.
He often pressures her to do things that she thinks are wrong and tries to convince her they are not.
She wants to know what she should and should not do, regarding things such as kissing, etc.

Dear S.B.,
Use Philippians 4:8-9 as a guideline: "...Fix your thoughts on what is true and good and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely, and dwell on the fine, good things in others.
Think about all you can praise God for and be glad about. Keep putting into practice all you learned from me and saw me doing and the God of peace will be with you."
Don't allow anyone to force you into doing anything that you feel is against your Christian principles.
Pastor
