I saw a videotaped sermon on singleness on the weekend and for once what was being said made sense. I don’t know how many people have tried to tell me over time that there are advantages to being single but I never got it. The idea that singles have more time to devote to God never quite clicked but on Satirday night it suddenly all made sense. The reason it did was that the thirtysomething group at Paradise is actually using the time they have available to really do things for God and has made that their focus. When you see a group of people, particularly the leadership, going all out and see the results that brings for the kingdom and then hear the message on singleness again it makes sense. These guys put following after God as number 1 and let the other parts of traditional singles ministry follow instead of the other way around. I can only hope that more churches pick this sort of ministry up, who knows what God could do :)
