Christian Single Adults Ministries(share?)

single adult ministry

Ok, check it out Christian single adults: Single adults make up over 40% of the adult population in the US alone. That’s over 90 million single adults! The vast majority of these singles adults, even if they claim to have faith in God, avoid church like a bad date that keeps on calling. Why is this so?

Although single adults (single never-married, single parents, divorced singles, widows, etc) are a huge mission field and have a huge number of felt needs, churches simply do not have the desire or know-how to reach out to this neglected segment of our society.

One of the missions of Christian Dating Service Plus is to help single adults plug into a good local church where they can find support and help others as well. If you are a single adult looking for a good church or Christian singles group, check out some of our single adult resources on this page. Another website of interest is singleadultminitry.com.

If you are a single adult and residing in NJ, you may be interested in getting involved with Oasis Church, a new contemporary Christian church we are starting that takes into account the needs and pressures of single adults. You can check out what we’re about by checking out our UTube video:

If you are a Christian single adult who likes church but don’t feel you fit in anywhere in particular, this could be the place for you to get and give support. You’ll fit right in this exciting new work. We promise! Remember, as a Christian single adult you have an important role to play in the body of Christ, and have gifts you have gifts that the church can use.

Bible Verse of the Day

~There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men. Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good~1Cor 12:4-7

Being Single Advantages1

Being single has certain benefits that those of us who are living alone sometimes forget. And the constant barrage in the media and our churches communicates to single gals and single guys that they are somehow “missing out” because they are not hitched.

Top 5 Being Single Benefits

Being Single=Living Nag Free

It is better to live alone in the desert than with a crabby, complaining wife-Proverbs 21:19. Can the same be said of a husband? Oh, I’ll let you answer that one!

Being Single=Financial Freedom

No tightwad or spendthrift to drive you nuts. Just think of the possiblilites!

Being Single=Pet Peeve Free Living

You don’t have to put up with those annoying little habits of others…just your own.

Being Single=Unlimited Dating Possibilities

And living guilt free while checking out that cute guy or girl…Note: Please don’t get “holier than thou” on us cause we know you do from time to time.

Being Single=More Time to Serve the Lord

This takes us to our Bible verses of the day:

-I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord’s affairs—how he can please the Lord. ut a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world—how he can please his wife— and his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord’s affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world—how she can please her husband- 1 Corinthians 7:32-34

Self Control and the Single Christian Life(share?)

self control

Many single Christians lack self control in their sex lives. Not a few have written us asking for help with their lack of self control in this area, and how to deal with the guilt over it. The top culprits of habitual masturbation, porn addiction and sex before marriage have disrupted their fellowship with the Lord.

Self Control and Singles in the Bible

It’s amazing how much God speaks about self control in the Bible, In fact, the Apostle Paul had quite a bit to say about self control for single Christians, as he often connected it with their sex lives.

For example, in 1 Corinthians 7:8 he writes: “To the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to remain unmarried, as I am. But if they cannot control themselves they should marry, for it is better to marry than burn with lust.”

Okay. most of us do not have the gift of singleness, as Paul evidently did. The issue then, for us, is how we can live with self control until God blesses us with that special perfect match of a lifetime. For Jesus’ glory, are you willing to even try?

Are you a Christian single with something to share about self control?

Bible Verse of Day

-It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God; and that in this matter no one should wrong his brother or take advantage of him-1 Thessalonians 4:3-5
