We can see that marriage is a permanent thing,

and you're there to stay, but that doesn't have to be bad.

It can be good, but it's still true, isn't it?

It's permanent.

And he's saying, simply this,

if you have to give to singleness, think about it,

because if you ever choose to marry, that's a final choice.

Welcome to Race to You with John MacArthur.

I'm your host, Phil Johnson.

It's definitely a joy to witness the wedding

of two committed Christians and see God bless their lives

as they serve Him together, and in most cases,

raise a family.

But what if you're not married, and perhaps you

don't have a strong desire to find a spouse?

Are you somehow missing out on God's best

by remaining single?

John MacArthur Shed's light on that issue today

in his series called Guidelines for Singleness and Marriage.

Here on Race to You.

And now with the lesson, here's John.

Take your Bible, if you will, now.
