Does the Church have ANY real advice for the single (I.E. unmarried, NOT dating) Christian ?
Question by Jerry: Does the Church have ANY real advice for the single (I.E. unmarried, NOT dating) Christian ?
When I hear all these grown-ups talking about how fornication, masturbation and premarital sex are all sins no matter what; I sometimes wonder if the people who preach those things are Christians who never had a problem getting a date during adolescence and married in their early 20′s … and therefore never felt true sexual frustration.
I also wonder if these people think of “single” as only unmarried. The so-called ‘single christian’ advices are usually aimed at people who are already dating.
But do they ever stop to think about the Christian who simply has not dated ?
What is their advice for these people ? Just wait ? It will happen eventually.
Well, I will tell you what. The only thing “absolutely not masturbating” while one remains completely single causes is – jealousy.
And In my mind, jealousy is a more dangerous sin than all others combined.
I want to hear you. What do you say to the young adult Christian, who has not been blessed with marriage or a dating partner ?
Here’s simple prayer :
“Lord help me to make a good impression of myself when I meet new people”
Every time I find myself in a new situation with new people I pray for this. Yet the only thing i succeed in is embarrassing myself.
I cannot go straight from being single to being married. I know that I have to date first.
All I wish from the Lord is that he help me not to make such a bad impression of myself when i meet new people (especially new women).
It is a rather simple prayer
I cannot even give younger teens advice, because I have no experience from which to draw it from.
