Greetings!
This is an excellent post! I have not heard much from Christian men about being single, and staying single, as the Lord Will's of course.
But in these sorrowful times in which we live, it is best to stay single.
Many, many years ago, probable about 40 years ago, or more, I was reading from Jeremiah,
Jer 16:1 The word of the LORD came also unto me, saying,
Jer 16:2 Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt thou have sons or daughters in this place.
When you read the whole chapter, you will see, that the Lord informed Jeremiah NOT to marry, because his children would not follow his God, and they would die due to the Judgments that were coming against Israel.
When I read that the Lord made it perfectly clear that I was to be single, because in the days to come they would be like the times of Jeremiah. The Lord invaded my life some 43 yrs ago, and I have never been married, no children, (thank the Lord). He has granted me the grace to stay single for His purposes in my life, it has been a long and lonely road of course, I've had some interests in 2 so-called Christian women when I was much younger, but the Lord brought those interests to end. And many years later, I came to know they did NOT know the Lord, they were "religious"........I've learned their history......very sad.
The more we are closer to the Lord HE, takes the place of everything we "THINK" we need, when we only Need HIM! For He alone is worthy, and the only true Lover of our souls.
I've had many bouts of "loneliness" through the years, some were just to lonely to coup with at times, even despaired, however HE has brought me through it all. Now I have peace like a River, and His Love for me replaces anything any human can give me.
We also need to look at the times in which we live.....do you want to bring children into this world, where they (government) may take them away from you because you will NOT live in their "fakedemic" lies and jabs? Do you realize what that would/could cost you?
Paul taught it is better to stay single, for both men and women, but He never forbid it, it is truly a gift to be called to be single. However men should seek the Lord to see "IF" it be proper wisdom to do so during this great time of suffering and sorrows. And if you truly are born-again from above, He will let you know, He promised to do so.
So thank you for bringing up this important question, because it is necessary to face during this crucial time!
Lord bless you all!
In His Love....
