What does my boyfriend mean by this?

A few days ago, I was texting my boyfriend and we were just chatting. Then he tells me that he "needs time to think about our relationship, in terms of where we stand and stuff". At the time that he says this, we were talking about going to see a movie in the next week or so because I have a couple of free movie passes. We decided that we would talk about this Sunday after church.

Yesterday we were talking again via text message and he says that we can "start talking about the future of our relationship and how we go forward with it". Today we were talking via texting again and he said he is going to "reflect on our relationship and how God wants [him] to move forward with it".

Can anyone help me determine what he may mean by these text messages? He asked me out about 1 1/2 months ago, and this is the first time either one of us have dated somebody. In my opinion, the relationship has been going great (and it apparantly appears so to my family as well). Does he just want to define things like boundaries and the pace of the relationship? This is making me really nervous and I don't have prior dating experience to reflect on or compare this too. We are both Christian, so I know he wants to pray about things. Someone please help!

Update:

We are both in our mid-20s.

Update 2:

We also haven't had any real boundary talks yet, although we have agreed to take the relationship slow for now.

    --->>Its really hard to say what he is thinking since you've only been dating for a little amount of time. He could just be evaluating if you are the one he really wants to spend the rest of his life with because he doesnt want to waste time with you if he doesnt see you together forever. . .

    i mean like I said it can really go both ways either he wants to keep steady maybe move to the next level or hes just not ready and is going to want to hold back
