Sovereign Grace Singles
Did you know there is actually a “Sovereign Grace Singles” dating site for Christian singles? Oh, wait a minute, Sovereign Grace Singles (sovereigngracesingles.com) is not for all single Christians, but only for those who hold to a Reformed theological point of view. Sovereign Grace Singles even uses this Scripture from Amos 3:3 to back up their point of view: ‘Can two walk together except they be agreed?’ How outrageous, sad…and unbiblical! Check out this quote on the Sovereign Grace…
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…
Thankfulness and Being Single
Thanksgiving Day is a time of thankfulness and being thankful for all our blessings. However, for many singles it’s simply another holiday to survive, and a reminder of how lonely and frustrating life can be without the emotional and physical intimacy of a mate. That’s why showing thankfulness is difficult for many of my Christian single solo friends, especially during this time of year. Do you feel the same way? A Tradition of Thankfulness In answer to this need, each…
The Great Commission and Single Adults
In a previous article related to the Great Commission, 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 Pastor, Bill Hull…

Christian Relationship Advice for Singles
Many singles contact us for Christian relationship advice, often asking questions like, “Should I get out of this relationship?” or “Should I marry this person?” Many times, however, Christian relationship advice is hard to give on issues like these because we don’t have all the information on the involved parties. Also, when dishing out Christian relationship advice, I’ve learned a long time ago to get both sides of the story before giving any advice on a topic. Christian Relationship Advice…

During the holidays many singles were no doubt asked that worn out question by well meaning relatives and friends, “So why you’re still single?” Don’t you just hate that question? Many who desire marriage cringe at such a question but perhaps it a good one to ask of ourselves as we enter a brand new year. No need for sulking over why you’re still single here. Introspection can be…
Singles of Faith
Even though most singles avoid church, many are singles of faith who profess to know Christ as Lord and Saviour. Singles of Faith for Singles In 1 John 5:1-5, Paul writes about genuine faith in Christ. This is not mental assent or an intellectual exercise. Rather, it is active, abiding, believing, trusting faith… the kind of faith that Abraham had as he offered his son Isaac (James 2:19-22) and that Moses had as he led the children of Israel out…
Broken Heart Quotes for Brokenhearted Singles
One of my favorite broken heart quotes comes from an unknown Christian author:”God can heal a broken heart, but He has to have all the pieces.” I love this broken heart quote because there within it is a kernel of hope for healing. If you have ever suffered a broken heart, you know the feelings of despair and rejection that goes along with it. I know I sure have. If you are going through the pain of a broken heart…
Anxiety Attacks and Being Single
Single people who suffer from anxiety attacks know how much it can affect their dating relationships and self-esteem. I should know because I used to suffer anxiety attacks for years myself. I remember one night being at the movies with my new date, when a terrible anxiety attack came over me. I started sweating, and my heart felt like it was jumping out of my chest. Because I was too embarrassed to let my date know what was going on,…
