“How do you view your singleness? Is it an opportunity to serve God, or is it really a daily burden, or, if you are honest, a curse that you long to be free from? If it is a burden, if it is a curse, that reveals a serious theological deficiency in your thinking. So it’s critical that you do the hard work necessary to study the Scriptures and develop a theology of singleness.
It isn’t sufficient to attend a conference; it isn’t sufficient to be a part of a local church where there is sound doctrine being communicated. You must search the Scriptures for yourself so the Spirit of God can speak to you and you can develop a theology of singleness. Because until you understand singleness from a biblical perspective, you won’t view your present state accurately, you will not take advantage of it, and, most seriously, you will not be pleasing God.”
