Singleness Redefined

And the unmarried…is anxious about the things of the Lord.

1 Corinthians 7:34

Some of our single men and women in the church are seeking wholeness from a relationship. While finding a spouse in the Lord is beautiful and represents the oneness of God—it can’t bring the ultimate fulfillment that fairy tales and romantic movies promise. In fact, many couples divorce because one spouse hasn’t gripped the reality of enduring and unconditional love. How can our Christian singleness be redefined against a culture wrapped up in sexual immorality and selfishness?

We redefine singleness to be an opportunity—not an obstacle.
As singles we have the opportunity and freedom to serve God with all of our hearts. He uses this time to awaken our hearts to the impossibilities that He wants to do in and around us.

We redefine singleness to be empowering, engaging, and equipping—not embarrassing.
As singles we are empowered by God to engage and equip other believers in Christ to push forward. Our ministry is bigger than us as we continue to grow in our relationship with the Lord.

We redefine singleness to be a time of self-discovery—not self-loathing.
As singles we are discovering our spiritual gifts that impact the body of Christ. We are blessed to have the time and energy to go wherever the Lord leads us.

We redefine singleness to be a season of renewal—not regret.
As singles (especially those who are no longer married), we can renew our relationship with God to experience a greater awareness of His presence over our lives. The possibilities are limitless in His will for our lives.

We redefine singleness to move us in a direction of peace—not pity.
As singles we are finding peace that passes all understanding greeting us first thing in the morning and the last thing at night. Living a life of peace is worth more than all the precious wealth of the world.
