Top 10 Pickup Lines a 90s Christian Might Fall For (Copy)
Today, we have a special treat for you—another Mixtape Theology Top 10 List!
Setting the Scene
Back in 2020, we did a fun Top 10 List based on 90s CCM lyrics, with a pandemic twist. For example, “We need to get back to the basics of life… due to the pandemic.” You all delivered some hilarious responses!
This time, we decided to mix it up with a new topic: Top 10 Pickup Lines a 90s Christian Might Fall For. These don’t necessarily have to relate to 90s Christian music—just Christian culture in general. Let’s jump in!
10. Steven Curtis Chapman-Inspired
Robbie brought us this gem:
“Tomorrow morning, if you wake up and the sun does not appear, I… I will be here.”
Of course, Steven Curtis Chapman was bound to make this list!
9. Michael W. Smith’s Night Stalker
Kendall delivered a line inspired by Michael W. Smith:
“I will be here for you somewhere in the night… somewhere in the night. (And don’t look in the bushes by your front door.)”
8. VeggieTales Romance
Schuyler added a VeggieTales flair:
“Is your name Barbara? Because I think you’re the one for me.”
As Rachel pointed out, this one references Barbara Manatee. It’s a hilarious deep cut from VeggieTales!
7. Shining Newsboys Love
Jessica hit us with this smooth Newsboys-inspired line:
“Hey, you’ve been shining, and I wonder what you’ve got… because I love it.”
6. Bible Compliments
Paul went simple but classic:
“Hey. Nice Bible.”
This one is so versatile. Variations might include:
• “Is that a new teen study Bible you’ve got there?”
• “Are you a King James-only girl? Because you’re the only girl for me.”
5. 90s CCM Mashup
Josh creatively wove together several 90s hits:
“Hey girl, you’ve heard it said that love is a verb, so take the dive and lean on me, because I believe you’re my godsend.”
4. Proverbs 31 Praise
Daniel brought his A-game with this biblical line:
“Hey girl, I just read about you in Proverbs 31.”
Honorable Mentions
There were so many great submissions, we had to include a few extras!
• Biblical Numbers Pickup
Will said: “Hey girl, I was reading the book of Numbers this morning, and I realized I don’t have yours.”
• Audio Adrenaline Offer
Alicia submitted: “I’ve got a big house with lots and lots of room. Want to see it?”
• Southern Gospel Charm
Present Hope said: “Hey, I hear there’s going to be a love offering later. Are you in that?”
• Pentecostal Humor
Jonathan quipped: “I have the gift of tongues—mind if I practice it on you?”
(Just to clarify, Rachel and I do not recommend Pentecostal dating practices… unless you’re married, then it’s all good!)
3. Song of Songs Poetry
Greg went Old Testament with this romantic line:
“Hey girl, your teeth are like a flock of newly shorn sheep coming up from the washing. Each has its twin, and not one of them is missing.”
If this works, you’ve got a keeper!
2. Reformed Theology Romance
Christian Metal Source got creative with some Calvinist humor:
“If I could rename TULIP, I’d put U and I together.”
Just be careful—this one could backfire if you’re dealing with a hardcore Calvinist.
1. The Love Offering Classic
Hope clinched the top spot with this line:
“Hey, I hear there’s going to be a love offering later. Are you in on that?”
Nothing says 90s Christian culture like a love offering at a Southern gospel concert!
Thanks for hanging out with us today for this laugh-filled trip down memory lane. Keep rocking out to 90s CCM, digging into God’s Word, and living for Christ!
