Singles, recognize the great potential to waste your singleness:

- If you fail to see your singleness as designed by God: You will not serve, you will not walk in freedom, you will not walk in joy
- If you believe that your singleness is a curse and not a gift
- If you cherish marriage more than you cherish Jesus Christ; Satan's and God's designs for your singleness are not the same... Satan's desire is to destroy your love for Jesus Christ, but God's desire is that your singleness would deepen your love for Jesus Christ as you come to abide in Him and love Him and trust Him in this area of your life
- If you seek comfort from your odds, rather than from God
- If you let it drive you into solitude, instead of using it to deepen your relationship with God's people
- If you fail to use it as a witness to the truth and the glory of Jesus Christ---Show others that Jesus Christ is worth more than life
