When you first began looking for solid Christian roommates to live with, it seemed that you would never find anyone. You may have felt like the only Christian in your new neighborhood. But eventually you will discover a new problem. You will have to chose from a handful of potential roommates. If you’ve just started looking, it may seem like a great problem to have, but making that final choice is difficult and has long-lasting ramifications. Let’s look at some ways to make a wise decision when picking your Christian roommate.
First, make sure that this person is someone you share beliefs with. You don’t have to nitpick or turn it into a theological interrogation, but you just want to make sure that you all believe in the same Christianity.
