I may just read this to the congregation on Sunday. Super helpful to see a broader, societal purpose as we strive to have biblical families!

I am very concerned with our next generation (I am a former teacher) being abused or bullied for any reason. Having lived in different countries, I have learned we must respect the culture – but not force our views upon children. Some, even within so – called “churches”, have been abused. Ritual abuse in the name of religion has taken on some ugly forms.

And I don’t mean in some ideological sense, because that’s been going on forever. I mean physically. How long will it be until the state decides Christian parents, due to their “backwards” values, are unfit or even abusive, and starts trying to take their children away? I don’t think it is that far-fetched to imagine. Pro-homosexual forces are already shutting down the businesses of Christians who fail to conform. That’s no longer simply opposing our values in the public square- that’s an assault on private property and enterprise. And they are getting away with it. Why won’t they take their invasion to the next level and deprive us of our children as well under the pretense of “protecting” them?

Psalm 2 – all this madness amounts to “imagining a vain thing.” And thankfully we know how this story will end.

But I think the same principle applies. Singles are still part of families. They also have an additional opportunity to show how, with God’s help, the single Christian can thrive and flourish.
