4 Truths that Singleness Teaches the Church

by John Piper

1. The Family of God grows not by propagation through sexual intercourse, but by regeneration through faith in Christ.

2. Relationships in Christ are more permanent and more precious than relationships in families.

3. Marriage is temporary and finally gives way to the relationship to which it was pointing all along, namely, Christ and the church.

4. Faithfulness to Christ defines the value of life and all other relationships get their significance from that.

This message is really encouraging to me as I think about my function in singleness once again.
