Hi Colin, firstly great to see you are preaching about these issues- critical in our age. I have been exploring a lot the issue of singleness in our churches. perhaps thats because i am single and a pastor. But a helpful thing to recognise is the bible never talks about singleness- that implies we are alone. the bible talks about those who are unmarried. I think thats an important distinction.
Thanks for the plethora of links Colin. Much appreciated!
