    Why relationships led me to celibacy

    It's weird I tried so many things to find a great relationship. I've tried waiting and I even tried not waiting. And nothing good came out of either. I'm almost 18 and I'm not like most other teenagers. I don't date for fun. I wanted to date to find my future wife and people didn't understand...

    Why I pray to remain single.

    Yes, I do believe being single isn't a sin, for we have Paul. Though a lot of people have prayed for relationships, but I pray to be single. Is this greed or selfishness? There are multiple reasons why I want to stay single. 1. It's time consuming 2. I don't like being in a relationship 3...

    I am a devout Christian and I've always loved God since I could remember. I am saving sex for marriage. I don't drink or do drugs. After all of this though I LOVE rap. And I don't mean Christian rap. I mean rap like Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa, Rick Ross, or Big Sean. Anyone else like this?
