christian spiritual journey

Christian Spiritual Journey of Singles

According to our survey results, most Christian singles agree that they are on a Christian spiritual journey. Unfortunately, most admit that they are clueless as to where that spiritual journey may lead. Therefore many seek guidance for their spiritual journey. Some seek spiritual gurus from Eastern religions. Others go to fortune tellers for help with their spiritual journey. It seems some people will try anything except a relationship with the one true God as found in the Holy Bible. The…

Advantages of Being Single: From a Christian Single Perspective

Also,  the constant barrage in the media communicates to single gals and single guys that they are somehow “missing out” because they are not hitched. In today’s society, where relationships are often seen as a marker of success, the Christian community, in particular, has unique insights into the value and benefits of being single. From fostering a…

Alcohol Use Disorder Among Single Christians

This is a fact: Alcohol Use Disorder is much more prevalent among single people (across all age groups) than among those who are married. While single men are by far the largest demographic that uses and abuses alcohol, recent studies in the US and UK find alarming rises in alcohol use and abuse among single women. Alcohol abuse is a significant societal problem affecting multiple demographic groups, including Christian singles. Despite the public image of sobriety often associated with the…

Making Peace with Your Past: A Christian’s Path Towards Spiritual Healing

Do you have an issue with making peace with your past? Many Christian singles can’t get over the past. Several years back, I went on a Christian singles retreat, where the topic at hand was making peace with my past. Christian single after Christian single shared their sad stories of how a bad past experience, a soured relationship, or a sexual sin had held them back from living victoriously in the present. Although many Christian singles there that weekend desired…

Thinking about dating a friend? Should I confess to my crush? But should friends date? A Christian single guy wrote us asking if it’s a good idea if best friends to date one another.  So what do you think? Should friends date each other? I know the cynical among us may agree with that line from When Harry Met Sally, “that a man and a woman can’t really be just friends.” But that’s the topic of another article. Let’s get…

How to Let Go of a Toxic Christian Dating Relationship

Sometimes learning how to let go of a toxic Christian dating relationship can be harder than finding a girlfriend or boyfriend. Even when we know letting go of a particular relationship is in our best interest, like in the case of an abusive dating relationship, or dating a married person, or dating an unbeliever, it is not always an easy decision. Many times a Christian single may struggle over feeling guilty or think that the right person will never come into…
sexual impurity and Christian singles

Sexual Purity as a Single Christian: A Path From Impurity

Sexual purity is a difficult topic for Christian singles. It doesn’t matter if you are a single woman or man, or whether you believe in courtship or traditional dating. Yes, remaining sexually pure as a single Christian is a real battle, a tug-o-war between our raging hormones and desires, and our Lord’s plan for our lives in this area: “It is God’s will that you should be sanctified, that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn…
How does one get over unrequited love

Unrequited Love: How to Get Over Unrequited Love as a Christian

How does one get over unrequited love? In my personal experience, unrequited love is like death, only worse. Unrequited love occurs when the person you absolutely are “head over heels” in love with does not reciprocate the same desire and feelings. Can you think of anything more emotionally and spiritually painful than unrequited love? At least in death a Christian single is done with pain. In unrequited love the pain just goes on and on. Sigh. If it’s really true…
single adults and the great commission

The Great Commission and Single Adults

In a previous article related to the Great Commission and single adults, we mentioned that single adults are one of the most unchurched groups of people. Although the Great Commission commands us to preach the gospel to every creature, million of singles are unreached and still living in spiritual darkness. Why is this? The sad but true story is that many churches and individual Christians do not take the great Commission seriously. For example, in his influential book, The Disciple-Making…

Why Christian Single Men Need a Proverbs 31 Wife

Most Christian single men I know frequently whine about their need for a nice Christian wife. Who can blame men who feel this way? After all, in Proverbs 31:10, our Bible Verse of the Day, Solomon wrote: “A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.” Christian single men, whether they are college teens or single parents, would benefit by checking out this chapter of Scripture. In fact, any man would be in hog…
