Q9: Is it sinful to not want to marry? Singleness is a gift, not inferior to marriage

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 16) 00:37:23 – 00:38:56

Response to viewer asking about call to singleness

Mike answers that it is not sinful to not want to marry. He cites 1 Corinthians 7 and Jesus' teaching on singleness (Matthew 19), where the disciples suggest it might be better not to marry at all and Jesus affirms this is a valid calling. He states singleness is actually better for kingdom service than marriage and notes he remained single until 30, using that time for ministry.
