Hi Mark,
Thanks for speaking about esteeming singleness last week. It is sometimes a tough topic for me to fully accept, since I had struggled to live happily as a single Christian, especially with those around me already in relationships. You made a good point in the sermon, which I always wonder to myself: I am a nice guy just wanting to seek a stable, committed relationship, but as you point out as one of the “frustrated”, why am I always the victim of all these relationship failures?
