Leaving being Single behind....

Perhaps I've been slow on the uptake, but I just realized that calling myself a Single Christian was a complete paradox. And not the kind that Jesus, God or the Trinity use. The bad kind that suggests hypocrisy.

Wow, already being a little offensive there aren't I?

Let's break it down, quick and dirty. A single person means what exactly?

Various definitions I looked up quickly (thanks Google) defined a single as someone who was unmarried or in a meaningful relationship. But there's obviously more to it than that, why couldn't we just be called unmarrieds? Why single?

Single implies one. Just the one person right? So how does a Single Christian even exist when the bible clearly states that we are not alone. We cannot walk with God and then walk alone. It's one or the other.

Matthew 28:20b "And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

This is just one of many references contained in the Bible about how not single any of us are.

I'm not here to make a big, impassioned appeal to you about denying your "single" nature. I'm just here to simply state - reject that label. We are not single. We walk with Lord on High, and He walks with us.

Lay down your mantle of single-ness and take up your cross and walk the walk that Jesus has called us to take.
