Singles are not unfinished business
I was on Twitter looking at what people were saying about “Singleness”. Let me just say that I really don’t like the word: it reminds me too much of words like “illness” or “loneliness” – well it’s neither thank you very much.
In my twitter exploration I even saw someone say they saw a church sign which said “Marriage may be painful, but singleness is hell.” Which I think is an appalling and frankly unbiblical thing to say.
Thankfully I also came across Pastor Marvin Williams blog in which he writes very helpfully about this subject. He says that singles are not unfinished business. He says:
the church has inflicted much pain on singles by treating singleness as a disease for which the only cure is marriage.
He goes on to point out reasons why Christians may be single and to say that rather than being a curse, it’s an opportunity to be used by God in the church.
Well, rather than me repeat all that he said, go check his site for yourself.
