Wow, those articles are very interesting and will spark conversations all over the internet!
As for me, i love going to church and the fellowship and the programs and the meetings.
True, it is an unlikely place to find a mate or a date. I have found that many singles in my church go to other churches to find their mate and bring them back to our church. I don't have a problem with that. But the perception that black women who attend church are single and lonely is preposterous! It may take us a little longer to find a mate in church but that does not mean that we are lonely! There are too many activities at church to be lonely. At least, for me!
We are not desperate either...we know who we are in Christ and we will not settle for less. Warning!!! Don't come to our churches looking for lonely women. Give me a break!! One break is not enough, give me two breaks!!
Because a woman is single doesn't mean she is lonely. They're men that come to churches just to prey on the single sisters. Its been known for some black men to say they want a church going wife. Why would he want a church going wife when he doesn't go to church himself.........maybe he thinks if he gets a church going wife he will have someone to control and jump at his every whimp.....I can be miserable by myself I don't need someone else to assist me in being miserable. I would rather be single and at peace within than to be desperate to get married and end up with the devils son........just in case some of us forgot the devil attends church every time there's a service being held and he knows just what to say to the lonely sisters. Sisters please don't allow yourself to be duped and in case you didn't know they're players in church so please be aware of the men you get involved with. You can go to God yourself for His answer whether he is the one.....The Bible says be careful for nothing and be anxious for nothing. Sisters sometime we can get anxious and settle for less than what God has for us. How can one be a good wife and faithful wife if she can't be faithful to God while she's single.......Let us all learn something from Sarah, she encouraged her bond woman to sleep with her husband instead of waiting on God and Ishmael was produced then she hated her once the child came. All she had to do was continue waiting on God and the Isaac would have been born first and there never would have been an Ishamel. Lets wait on our Isaac and not settle for an Ishmael.
Sheree, I agree, sometimes when our mind are not in the right place, then the enemy steps in and attacks our minds with negativity and pity, then we become weak and vulnerable to the attacks of Satan.
What does the Black Church have to do with keeping black women single and lonely. I think it is up to to individual wheter they will be lonley , as far as being single goes you would have to know what God has called you too. whether to be like single for his purpose or to engage in that purpose with a mate.
I hope that there will be more ministering to widows and single women in the future.Women who are divorced need ministering to also.They are broken and hurt. Not just lonely and bitter.Can we help those who are lost?
Amen!
AMEN CHIOR!!!!!!!
Awesome ladies....keep up the good work,,,,keep the post coming!
