And the road to marriage—paved with seasons of singleness and seasons of dating—can be simultaneously exciting and treacherous. As Marshall Segal writes in his new book, : We live and date in a society of now. We can watch anything we want, anytime we want, anywhere we want.

To counter this, the church must show that there is no shame in repentance, and that, instead, a life of repentance and humble submission to God is in fact the best barrier to shame, as all who repent and believe are given robes of righteousness, stand in the blood of Christ, and are sex singleness and marriage sons and daughters of the King. Was He punishing me. And if singleness is second-hand gospel citizenship, then we are serving a second-hand King. We are pretty low key about the offering here. And the Medico has a lot to say about sex. Watching for co-dependency should be a part of any discipling relationship.
