  • Single and Ready to Mingle
  • 3 Biblical Truths about Singleness and Dating:
    • 1. Singleness isn’t a sickness. 

1 Corinthians 7:7  //  I wish that all of you were as I am. But each of you has your own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that.

1 Corinthians 7:32  //  I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord’s affairs—how he can please the Lord. 33 But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world—how he can please his wife— 34 and his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord’s affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world—how she can please her husband. 35 I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but that you may live in a right way in undivided devotion to the Lord.

  • Singleness provides an opportunity for undivided devotion to the Lord.
  • Famous Christians who were single:
    • Amy Carmichael [1867 – 1951]
    • Corrie ten Boom [1892 – 1983]
    • C.S. Lewis [1898 – 1963]
    • Dietrich Bonhoeffer [1906 – 1945]
    • John Stott [1921 – 2011]
    • Lottie Moon [1840 – 1912]
  • While single, pray and pursue total devotion to the Lord.
    • 2. Before you find the one, become the one.

Genesis 2:15,18  //  The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. 18 The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”

  • Before marriage Adam had:
    • Communion with God
    • Calling in his life
    • Discipline of Character
  • Marriage doesn’t change you; it magnifies who you already are.
    • 3. The way you date either prepares you for marriage or practices for divorce.


1 Corinthians 7:9  //  But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

  • Don’t date someone based on their potential. Date them based on their patterns.
  • While dating, pray and pursue the following:
    • Future Spouse
    • Boundaries
    • Spiritual growth together

Romans 12:12  //  “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, and faithful in prayer.”
