"Scripture says fulfillment (sexual, or otherwise) does not come by marriage. Fulfillment comes by Christ and His Body, and our dependent participation and thus transformation, waiting, watching and abiding in relentless love herein." - Abbie Smith

there's a number of good points to this, though it does still relegate the single to reconcile themselves & their state to Christ, and for them to be 'valuable' even in this message is based on productivity: for God towards the Church & the World. -I rather missed the part of the Church becoming more intentionally familial , and not relegating the 5th wheel persons as an add-on or some sort of sacrrificial favor for inclusion in their familial context of "wholeness", whether they have something to contribute, or especially if not. Some coupled/family units of believers are doing it in a healthy way; most of the organizational constructs are not.

Yes, I affirm the basic message of this sermon, but you can't use its message as a pathetic attempt to avoid American Evangelicalism's complete uselessness in preventing the degeneration of American culture-which is evidenced by the high percentage of singleness-over the past century-a century in which it has had political power to rival any of the influence Catholicism has had in the history of the church.
