The sermon explores the question of whether there is a gift of singleness and who has it. The speaker shares an example of a person who has the gift and is content with being single, but notes that it is rare. The ability to handle being single and whether it is a good thing for an individual are important considerations. The gift of singleness is not limited to those in full-time Christian ministry.

Okay, here is a theological question. Is there a gift of singleness? If so, what is the gift of singleness, and do only people in full-time Christian ministry have it? Or do others as well? Well, most people in full-time Christian ministry don't have it.

But Jason addressed this a bit today in his message. Jeff, what thoughts do you have about this quote gift of singleness? I've only met one person that has the gift. He's a teacher at our seminary. He's 40 years old and never been married and has never even pursued.

He never crossed his mind to get married. He's never dated anybody and never crossed his mind to date anybody. And he says, I prayed about it once and didn't want to miss out on a blessing. So I said, Lord, if being married is a blessing, And I pray that you don't want to miss out on that. If that's you prayed about it when he's like 35.

But he was so busy with school and things of that nature that he was so occupied. And he's quite content and perfectly happy. And it gives him so much more time to serve the Lord. It's a really amazing thing. But that's pretty rare.

If you have to ask him, I mean, yeah, I think you would know it if you have it. I really like the way Jason described it in his message today, but the matter I think rests on can you handle it, is it a good thing to you and or are you covered up with lust covered up with lust you don't have the gift of singleness you don't You should get married. Or loneliness. Yeah. Yeah.

Just loneliness. Thank you.
