Early Post of the Week: Reflections on Singleness

"Singleness is never carte blanche for selfishness.  A spouse is not a sufficient countermeasure for self.  The gospel is the only antidote for egocentricity.  Christ did not come simply to save us from our sings, He came to save us from our selves.  And He most often rescues us from us through relationships, all kings of relationships."  Paige Benton

Convicting Quote

" 'Tis not for man to trifle.  Life is brief, and sin is here.  Our age is but the falling of a leaf - a droping tear.  We have no time to sport away the hours: all must be earnest in a world like ours.  Not many lives, but only one have we, - one, only one; how sacred should that one life ever be that narrow span!  Day after day filled up with blessed toil, hour after hour still bringing in a new spoil."
