  Check out the answers given by Rick Phillips and my additions that follow in this blog post Why So Many Singles? POSTED BY RICK PHILLIPS Take a minute to review this link and then come back for my comments (or visa-versa, if you prefer) I agree on his perspective but would add or elaborate the following. I have spoken with fellow marrieds about one particular single (never married) Christian male. As far as any of us can see, he is doing everything right that a Christian single male is told to do. The only things that we can see as continuing his singleness would be some unseen trait only revealed when he is interested in a certain person of the opposite sex (which we don't think likely), his mild social awkwardness or that he is not outwardly appealing to the opposite sex. We marrieds shake our heads at this state of affairs and pray for him. Another thing I see are eligible singles spending all of their time, energy, passion going after one particular member of the o...

Many of the bloggers that I admire have a miscellaneous posting that they do of things that come across their desks via the internet.  Here is my attempt of enriching you through such links. “We can ignore even pleasure. But pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.”  ― C.S.

"I prayed for a strong, godly man, and God delivered! I'm glad He doesn't do things in OUR timing. His is much better!" This quote is from a long-time single who just celebrated one year together with her man.  Take heart, dear single Christian men and women and remember: Abraham and Sarah had to wait a LONG time before Isaac came and he brought them much joy and laughter Hannah waited a LONG time for a child to be born and in God's time, He brought to her a son and to Israel a great man of God The children of Israel had to wait a LONG time in Egypt before they got to experience freedom but when they did, they saw the glory and power of God. The Jewish exiles had to wait a LONG time before they got back to their homeland.   In each of these cases, the wait made the fulfillment all the more enjoyable.   I pray that you will use this time wisely and be the man or woman of God that someone else will be able to say the above concerning.

The  Tyndale Blog Network  has allowed me to feature a few articles from Sheri Rose Shepherd.  I previewed this and thought that this may be helpful to singles out there who read this blog or have friends or family that do.  Let me know what you think. Disclaimer: though I did a bit of research on Mrs. Shepherd, I leave it up to the blog reader to do his or her own digging on this author and to come to one's own conclusion.  Nothing that I have found has been of any concern.  And this piece is worth the reading, enjoy! An Article for Singles By Sheri Rose Shepherd, Bestselling Author and Bible Life Coach I have been married twenty-five years, and my husband and I joke that it has been seven of the best years of our lives. Why is it that we spend so much time searching for someone to share life with, and so many times the dream of wanting and wondering becomes better than the reality of the man or the marriage? I believe when a ma...
