Will God Still Love Me After an Abortion?

She’s in your ministry. She’s had an abortion. She wonders, will God love her again? As believers, we are passionate about saving the unborn, but that passion fails to communicate our love for the mothers. The good news is that in the last two decades, there has been a substantial drop in abortions. The other news is people have had or still choose to have abortions, and the church needs to be ready to minister

Starting Out as a New Singles Minister

Starting as a new Single Adult Minister, I have learned so many wonderful things through the Lord. Still, these three are probably the most important I have learned: We live in a world that pushes fleshly desires and what society thinks is important. If you watch television or scroll through social media, you see a lot of selfishness and flesh desires. You know, a lot of sex propaganda, marriage prioritization, and finding what’s “true for

Hospitality: Limiting Guests at Holidays Limits God’s Kingdom

Matthew 9:10-13 tells us that Jesus gives the perfect example of hospitality as He welcomes many tax collectors and sinners to dine with Him and His disciples. “Then it happened that as Jesus was reclining at the table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and were dining with Jesus and His disciples (NASB).” This passage illustrates Jesus’ inclusive approach to dining, showcasing the transformative power of hospitality in fostering connection and

Single Pastors: Don’t Believe These 3 Lies

Being called to bi-vocational or vocational ministry is unique and as rewarding as it is terrifying, especially for single pastors who might be grappling with the lies single pastors believe about their calling. Compound that with being a single adult and the calling to ministry that once felt like a spiritual high now feels like an island of isolation. Carrying the burdens of day-to-day ministry alone will often feel less than whole to the American

How to Start a Singles Ministry or Group

You are likely to know several singles in your church. Enlist their help as you pray towards God’s plan for starting a singles ministry. And when asked, “does your church have a singles group,” don’t answer with a simple no. Ask the person to pray with you. Go to the church staff and ask them to pray about it. Talk to your Sunday class about your desire to see singles gathered and request they pray

Distracted: Finding Focus in a World Full of Distractions

Life is full of distractions. We’re distracted at work, at home, with media, and even our local churches. It’s not hard to wonder why it’s so hard to stay focused on the most important things in our life. How we handle distractions is a part of maturing our faith. Choosing the difference between a distraction and God’s calling is vital to following Christ. “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to

Join Already! Committing to God’s Community by Joining a Church

“Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.” James 4:13-15 Singles

Divorced

Separated or Single?

He walked out on his marriage a month ago and comes to your church. He’s brand new and comes to the singles group. He seems nice and you greet him, talk to him, and connect him. Over lunch that week, he mentions that he is recently divorced. As the conversation progresses, you realize that when he says “divorced” he mean that he has left his wife and the “paperwork” is still “in process”. So then,
