I just read a very good article about the role of family in the Christian life and wanted to share. Specifically, the article calls for Christ-followers to (re)embrace the concept of being single for parts or all of life in order to dedicate themselves to the Kingdom.
The article also challenges the ideal of family. It implies that the family is more of a means to and end (support for activity with the C(c)hurch) than an end (insular place of rest to be gaurded). Something to chew on there.
To me it comes down to this: whether married or single celibate are you living your life for the glory of God?
May the Lord’s will be done,
