Being Single in Christ

.

Being single is tough.

Sometimes it feels like being single is a curse. I for one know that I often feel I don't have a specific place either inside or outside the church. But through His word, God has given singles a very important mission during this blessed season of our lives, however long that season may last. God wants us to follow Him with a single-minded focus and, in doing so, bring glory to the kingdom of heaven (Matt. 19:12). Setting aside worry and self-pity, we are to seek the path of a disciple and learn from our Lord how to best serve His Body, the Church (1 Cor 7:33-34).

I hope this blog will be a resource to help you or someone you know navigate the swift waters of singleness and maintain a single-minded spirituality that glorifies God. Even though the blog is run by the Young Careers ministry of Crossroads Bible Church (TX), it is our prayer that it will reach far beyond our own walls and make a difference in someone's life. We will post online articles that we find beneficial and share our own thoughts and experiences. The goal is to build each other up in Christ our Lord through authenticity, transparency and love.

I get to start this blog engine running as will do so with a post below from Crosswalk.com.

God bless!
