Advice: The Single Christian

[imreedemed]

I'm a single christian male. I've fallen into all the four items you listed. I've even fallen into sexual sin. It most often happens when im not fully emersed in the WORD and prayer! Or when a doubt creeps on my mind (after deep discussions with aiethists). Singlehood is a beautiful thing but remember the old serpent is looking for every chance to sneak up on you. Keep Christ close and want to be more like Him every single second! God bless!

Praise God! Awesome post.

Is there such a thing, in your opinion, of a "single sexuality" for the single Christian?

How do single Christians manage their personal needs???

You find three close (single) friends and all put $50 bucks in a pot and vow not to do "it". Then the last one to give in will be labeled "Master of his own Domain" and win the $200.

I haven't seen that classic episode in a long long time but it is amazing how many know EXACTLY what I'm talking about when I bring up "Master of your own domain" -regardless of which church they go to. LOL

I keep asking myself that question. But i like to leave it at that otherwise i'll come up with my own "Doctrine/ Gospel" which is not Christ/Cross-centered

I brought this up to a few close friends in Christ. One of them gave me a book on Grace. For me... I saw how embracing grace, for some, is the secret to living at peace with God, while also being all too human at times. Sin is sin. But sin was paid for. We can have peace with God... through the cross. Our sin was judged already. Now this isn't a license to sin... because we'll surely reap what we sow. But it does bring peace to the soul to know that when we are all too human and fall to some degree... below us are the everlasting arms.

Amen! It just goes on to show we are still walking in the flesh. If we were perfect there would be no need of a Savior. But then, like you said, it's no licence to sin. However much i struggle with my "Thorn in the flesh" i'll always find redemption on the cross, at the feet of Jesus, His Grace is always sufficient, for when i'm weak, then He is strong.

I'm seriously contemplating on serving the Lord in my singlelhood as a christian missionary in the caribbean and africa. I need your prayers folks! God bless
