Enslaved

I realize I haven't posted on here in quite a long time.  I wish I had time to do it more, but as most of you know I am now in my first year of teaching (I teach 7th grade social studies) and I am still in grad school, so blogging is not as high on the priority list anymore.  I read this tonight though and wanted a place to save it for myself as a reminder and to share it with others as encouragement.

"Today, singleness is cherished by many because it brings maximum freedom for self-realization.  
You pull your own strings; no one cramps your style.  
But Paul cherished his singleness because it put him utterly at the disposal of the Lord Jesus...the contemporary mood promotes singleness (but not chastity) because it frees from slavery.  Paul promotes singleness (and chastity) because it frees for slavery-- namely slavery to Christ." 
(John Piper)

I love being enslaved to this love.
