Singleness

Singleness in the New Testament is not a holding pattern or a lesser life. Jesus was single. Paul was single. Both call singleness a gift (Matthew 19:12; 1 Corinthians 7:7) and describe unmarried men and women as free for undivided devotion to the Lord. This collection studies Scripture's honest picture of singleness — the ache and the gift, sexual integrity, the loneliness that marriage never fully fixes, the family of the church that no biological family can replace, and the eternal marriage of the Lamb that all of us are ultimately made for. Especially useful for the never-married, the divorced, the widowed, and any pastor or friend wanting to love the single Christians around them well.

You are not half a person.

1 Corinthians 7:7, 32-35

A high view of singleness

Paul calls singleness a gift, not a curse. Jesus Himself was single. Some of the most fruitful Christians who ever lived were never married.

Your singleness is not God's oversight. It is, today, the place you serve and follow Him.

Mark 10:29-30

Loneliness and the church family

Jesus promised that those who follow Him receive 'a hundredfold' in family — brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, children.

The local church is not a fallback family. It is the family Jesus promised. Show up. Be known. Stay long enough to be loved.

1 Thessalonians 4:3-8

Sexual faithfulness as worship

Your body belongs to the Lord. The way you steward sexuality is part of how you worship Him.

Singleness is not white-knuckled deprivation. It is a daily yes to Jesus that is, in the end, never wasted.
