Single Gals and God’s Grace
As a former mediator in family court, I’ve seen a lot of single gals come through our doors. Not a few of these single gals are pregnant teen girls in great financial, spiritual and emotional need. This thought about single gals got me thinking about Mary, the blessed mother of Jesus, our Saviour. Think about it. She too was a single gal, a pregnant teenager with some heavy needs of her own. Single Gal Problems First of all, she was…

20-Something Singles:How to Evangelize Millennials
As any 20-something Christian single could tell you, the vast majority of other 20-something singles do not attend church. Paradoxically, 20-somethings , or millennials as they are called today, are also one of the most receptive age groups to evangelize. How can both of these statements about 20-something singles be true? The answer is that many Christian churches are simply missing huge opportunities by not communicating the Gospel to 20-something singles in ways that make sense to them. In fact…
Commitment Phobia and Singles
Commitment phobia is the fear of commitment. When we speak of commitment phobia among singles, we are referring to folks who avoid commiting to long term relationships such as marriage. People who suffer from committment phobia come in all varieties. Commitment phobes (no, I didn’t make this term up!) can be both male and female, Christian and non-Christian, teens, single parents or seniors. Commitment phobia among singles can occur for several reasons. However, most commitment phobic men and women truly…
The Alpha Course and Singles
Attending an Alpha Course is a great way to renew your faith in God, as well as a way to meet other singles. For those of you who don’t know, the Alpha Course is a free ten week course that explores the meaning of life in the context of the Christian faith. After coordinating five Alpha courses over several years, mostly to singles, I have seen dozens of folks come to Christ, and have made great friendships along the way.…
Sex Sin in Christian Singles
Sex sin is a huge issue for christian singles. Why? The simple answer is that most singles struggle with some form of sex sin, or at least tempted in this particular area. What exactly is sexual sin? There are a number of words the Bible uses that would go under the umbrella of sexual sins: Fornication-Any unlawful sexual intercourse outside of marriage. Sexual Immorality-An other sexual activity outside of a God ordained union of man and wife, other than sexual…

Single Dads Dealing with Grief and Loss
Hundreds of single dads who lost their wives during the 9/11 terrorist attacks are still dealing with grief. One particular single dad I interviewed relayed that he and his deceased wife had both worked in the World Trade Center. He survived that day only because he was late to work after taking his child to the school bus. Single Dads Going Through Grief The worst part of that day for this single dad was having to tell his five year…

Blessed Assurance for Christian Singles
Do you have that blessed assurance that you are in fact a child of God? Fanny Crosby, who happened to be blind, wrote the lyrics of Blessed Assurance, that ageless Christian song that opens like this: ~Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine! O what a foretaste of glory divine! Heir of salvation, purchase of God, born of his Spirit, washed in his blood~ Wow! We can have this kind of blessed assurance simply by trusting God’s word and what it says.…

Christian Singles: 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 your 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 a serious dating relationship leading toward a Christian marriage, few were…
Christian Singles, Singleness and Marriage
I meet so many Christian singles who have a distorted view of marriage and singleness. Somehow many singles have gotten it into their heads that marriage is THE biggest goal to achieve, while singleness is looked on as less desireable. Unfortunately, a lot of Christians’ thinking about singleness and marriage is reinforced by our church culture. For example, while the greatest missionary in history, the Apostle Paul, was single, many modern day mission boards and churches exclude ministerial candidates unless…
Sex Life of Christian Singles
John is a thirty-something Christian single whose sex life is a real mess! After just promising God through tears that he would clean up his sex life, and not have sex again with his Christian girlfriend, he ended up in the sack this past Saturday night for the umpteenth time. John is now depressed over his lack of sexual purity. He also knows his sex life is out of control, but doesn’t know where to turn. He is afraid others…
