A Spill…More Like a Rant: 2/22/12

Singles have to be the most overlooked and mishandled bunch in the body. Seriously, as ministries seem to be focusing on family and more on marriage with a slew of books and sermons resources and ministry providing practical ways singles can use their singleness to the Glory of God are few and far between. I when I mean practical I mean besides stating the obvious like “singles have more time to focus on God” and “singles should use their singleness to serve God more” how about actually providing opportunity or fostering an environment in the context of your community for singles to thrive and serve in so they can actually find ways to live these truthful cliches out? I mean give them something to do besides the occasional retreat or nursery gig. Stuff like that in and of itself isn’t helping. Singles just like the church as a whole need a mission with specific objectives. In what ways is the church providing this for singles? It annoyed because it seems like we live in an age where the church seems to exalt and show preferential treatment toward family and marriage to an extent mission and ministry outside of the home falls to the wayside and consequently the church and specifically singles aren’t left with much to do besides go to occasional church gatherings, retreats, and the occasional missions trip or day of service. Is that all the church can do? Maybe I’m just tripping though?
