Single Christians, Take Back Your Ground

This weekend, we’re celebrating Memorial Day. I guess the wonders of spring were supposed to distract us from the fact that the longest stretch between federal holidays is the three months plus between Washington’s Birthday and Memorial Day. Lots of barbecues, picnics, and pool parties are being planned for this first holiday off in over…

Foods, Attitudes, and Other Things We Outgrow

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I imagined as a child. But as soon as I was a man, I put away childishness. 1 Corinthians 13:11  NMB   Do you have a favorite food from childhood that you still love? I really, really love me some cotton…

A Tribute to God’s Single Grandmothers during Mother’s Day Week

My dad’s mother was tough. She was a single mom. Her husband, an evangelist, was very abusive to my grandmother. She left him when their youngest was seven to flee from his abuse. She found a place for her and all the kids to live, came and got them, and never looked back. She never…

Musings About Getting Old Alone

I am what would be considered “slightly older” and have never been married. I definitely did not plan it that way. I planned on being married a long time ago and having children and grandchildren. Life did not turn out that way for me, but I am actually not bitter. Anyone else out there like…

I Rose For You

My little brother, My little sister, I know you will celebrate My resurrection next Sunday with great fervor at the fellowship of followers you do life with. I love the worship which will be invoked, the music which will be sung, and the sermons which will be preached on My behalf. I know each person…

(Temporarily) Checking Our Sexual Desires as Single Christians

I was doing some research in anticipation of adding a page to my blog site on a very hot topic for Christian singles: Our sexual desires. And what to do about those pesky things. I found tons of articles for Christian singles about our base but very human desires. I’ve noticed, like many of you…

Hope for the Professionally Single

I want to share my heart about renewed hope for love as a professional single. Not a professional who is single (though I am a professional). I mean someone who has been single so long that I consider myself to be professionally single, someone who unwittingly has gotten “good at” being single. Recently, I’ve had…

Guest Blog Post: Where Are You Walking?

Life can be challenging at times. No matter how much faith we have, there will be problems, but we must not allow that to discourage us. If we continue to look at our problems, we can become consumed by them. Today and every day, Satan will send challenges and distractions to knock us off course.…

Christian Single Stages of Development

In many years of singles ministry, I have run into believers at different stages of their Christian walks. Their ages would vary, but across each stage, they would have similar questions and challenges. I thought I would share about them today so we could each see where we are at. Also, so you can recognize…

Are You the One?

Where are you? I know you’re here somewhere. I can hear you in the distance. You’re crying for relief from pain because you fell again. You’re hiding somewhere in the darkness, but I am determined to find you. I think I know where you are. I am hoping that you will willingly step out of…
