In Your Singleness . . .

 

1.   Do not seek out a mate. (1 Corinthians 7:27)

·        Don’t rush into a relationship; rather find your identity in Christ as a son or daughter of God.

 

2.   Fully devote yourself to faithfully make much of Jesus for the glory of God. (1 Corinthians 7:32, 34-35)

 

3.   Daily surrender yourself to God’s plan rather than seeking to implement your plan. 

 

4.   If you’ve never been married, humbly acceptyour singleness as God’s gift. (1 Corinthians 7:7)

  

What You Need to Know Before You Marry . . .

 

1.   Don’t invest in dating if you are not prepared to marry.

 

2.   Marriage is a gift from God.  (1 Corinthians 7:7)

 

3.   Cohabitation is not God’s pre-marital plan.

o   Commit yourselves to purity.

5.   Marriage is for life.
