Intro: You are at the doctor’s. She sits you down, and says, “It doesn’t look good.” Your boss pulls you into his office.

Cultural and societal viewpoints often influence how we think about things like singleness. And singleness is so intertwined with marriage. Projecting misconceptions about either upon other people can be hurtful. Instead of listening to the world’s voice, let’s see what God has to say about being single. From Apostle Paul’s letter to the church at Corinth: Being single is not bad. Being single is actually “good.” (v.8) Conflict with OT? Genesis 2:18, “Not good for man to be alone.” Not if singleness is a “gift from God.” (v.7) Singleness is not a disease that necessarily needs to be cured. But can be a distraction, requiring self-control. (v.9) If “burning with passion”, get married! Pastoral counsel: why purity? Singleness is not always a choice, but only a passing season.
