Identity and Singleness

  At the core of our humanity is the desire to be in relationship. This stems from our very essence of being relational beings, both as humans to God and as male to female.

  Singleness: God's Outlook

  We see things in our life from a narrow perspective, and it is often difficult for us to understand all that God is allowing to happen.

Someone standing ten feet behind us can see a much bigger perspective than we can. They can see things we can't. They can also see some of our blind spots. God sees an even bigger and clearer perspective as He sees all of our past, present, and future all at once. God invites us to get a peek from His perspective.

  Preparing For Singleness

  For many, the process of coming to terms with being single is ferociously difficult, yet there is little help to be found in the Church. Pastors spend much time helping faltering marriages.

Helping a faltering single is a lesser priority. Why? Shouldn’t we be thinking of how we prepare some people for the single life, specially when their own natural inclinations lie in other directions?

  Keeping Pure While Single

  If you are a
single man struggling to remain sexually pure, you are not alone.

You’ll undertake a personal journey into key Scriptures, wrestle with questions for reflection and examination, and discover the practical tools and Biblical strategies you need to live the pure life God is calling you to even while living in a sexually soaked culture.

  The Single Dad - Making It

  I don't know many single dads, but I think we are a fairly rare breed.

Personally, I cannot say I would ever have imagined myself in this role, but the way things have worked out, this was the best for my kids. There are a few challenges to the job, as with any, but of course there are plenty of rewards. I am raising my son and my daughter, six and five years old at the time of writing this. I have found my children a real blessing since they were born, and have always loved being involved in their lives.

  Pursuing Love

  Much of the tension in our self-image as single people, and in relating to those of the opposite sex, has risen because we are

pursuing marriage. Because the married state is so exalted, we are always thinking about our future marriage partner. We have attended seminars on marriage, read books about it, heard sermons — and so we devise a plan for the perfect marriage partner. We then go running around with our list of characteristics, checking people out. But when we get down to item seven or eight on the list and he or she doesn't measure up, we say good-bye.
