John MacArthur: ADVICE FOR SINGLE MEN

Dr. John MacArthur is—far and away—America’s greatest Bible teacher. In 2015, I had a burning desire to understand what the Bible really meant, however, everywhere I searched, all
I found was grossly undereducated men who called themselves “preachers” or “pastors” who were chiefly interested in:
1. Making money
2. Gaining popularity
3. Spreading a false gospel

It was quite obvious to me they had very little Biblical knowledge.

MacArthur, on the other hand, has a vast knowledge of the Bible and goes to great pains to explain it so articulately. I can honestly say that he changed the direction of my life. I am forever grateful to find such a wonderful teacher. Therefore, I’ve created this YouTube channel in order to propagate his accurate and thorough Biblical teachings.

MacArthur is not focused on making money, unlike many false Christian preachers today. You can download his sermons for FREE! Just click on this link to go directly to his sermons.

I pray that God blesses you with a deeper understanding of the Word of God!

It all goes back to the man's fault. I've never heard one sermon on a woman's accountability, or how women wreck relationships. Modern women are why most young men are single.

The kid in background, he's out like a light! Get the jammies because sonny's going to bed

Women dont want to be wives anymore. I know thats a generalization but that has been my experience. I have yet to find an eligible woman that wants to be a wife, not just married.

[moosepoots]

The problem isn't men aren't stepping up. I know plenty of Christian men who ask girls out all the time and they are constantly rejected. I love John MacArthur, but most older pastors are completely out of touch with what modern singles have to deal with.

What are men waiting for?

I'll take that one pastor. As men, it's our responsibility to be able to support a family. In this economy, we have to wait longer than our fathers and grandfathers. On top of that, when the wife gets bored of the husband, she divorces him, takes the kids, house, and at least half the cash. Oftentimes, the husband also has to pay alimony. When the wife remarries, the new guy becomes the kids' new dad.
Also, I keep hearing that we men need to "step up, " when do women need to "step up"? I never see women held accountable for their actions.

If marriage is God's greatest gift, does that gift (at least in the west) come with a receipt?

[colejohnson]

From a Godly single man were stepping up but no women want us and it's so hard to find a Godly wife who feels the same feelings you do.

Word of advice for young single men: DONT ASK A BOOMER FOR DATING ADVICE!

[ibatan]

I don't like the people who are laughing as they are in a comedy club. The gentleman asked a very serious and sincere question asking for guidance from someone who is much wiser than him. There is no need for laughter AT ALL.

[RPJohn]

The young man seems so open hearted and John MacArthur, "You might be eager to follow the command but can't find anyone who's willing to marry you" words are cutting. Audience laughter just digs the knife even deeper. If it's "a real, real important question" why belittle it with a joke? Regarding, "The way The Lord looks at His church. He knows the bride has problems but He is her redeemer. He is her rescuer..." The fact that this young man "steps up" to ask his sincere question in from of all those people", well he seems to have the qualities of a man who has such a heart.

I'm a 65 year old Christian male never married. I deeply regret never finding a wife and having no children, but it's just the way life happened. It's too bad, because as I've aged, my heart has become very loving and compassionate. However, I'm not that attractive physically, so I understand why I was not chosen.

I love the kid sleeping in the background.

I hope he is dreaming about heavenly things :)

[SeeSawMassacre]

We're living in a cartoon. People's perception and interpretation of how things are is so divorced from reality- it's not even funny. There are countless millions of men and women who are beyond eager to marry but cannot, and will not, find anyone willing to marry them. That this is just a joke to the crowd is a little maddening. Read some of the comments, for instance. Mr. MacArthur says, "i honestly do not know what in the world [men] are waiting for." If a man isn't financially successful (no easy feat, and impossible for some), at least somewhat charming, and attractive, he can "step up" and try to save whomever he wants for the rest of his life- it won't work. I, for one, would gladly be paired up with a random God-fearing woman. But my life is such that even a woman of an identical social status would have nothing to do with the idea. Women are not dumb romantics like men. One piece of evidence is that the biggest factor in divorce is the husband's employment status.

what is this guy talking about. women are not lonely. men are are the ones that are lonely then ever today

[paulb]

They aren’t provided for? Protected? Loved? Where are their fathers?

Where are the old women teaching young women to love their husbands?

I’ve moved a lot for work in my life, and I’m not familiar with any churches that have a ministry specified to do this.

The pastor wants to blame young men, but I would bet he’s ignorant to who most young women are these days.

[Provocateur]

The men need to step up? I can’t believe he just said that

[tristantimothy]

When i was " looking" i KNEW the moment i saw my wife she was the ONE. It took a year to convince her. I asked Jesus to give me a sign that even a dunce like me couldnt mistake. On our 1st coffee date she told me right off the bat. " Jesus comes FIRST in my life in ALL things & if you cant handle that theres no point on continuing even trying a relationship." THAT was EXACTLY the words i needed to hear. That UNMISTAKABLE RIGHT ANSWER! Weve been married 37 years & every day it gets better. Our FIRST focus in everything is Jesus & HE makes everything work out for us in ways that are miraculous. Ours is TRULY a marriage made in HEAVEN. Weve NEVER had a major fight & only small disagreements sometimes. I cannot imagine life w/o her & i thank God daily for her. Most amazing person ive even known & an unending scource of amusement/ delight. Best part, shes not even trying to be funny. Just comes out that way. When Jesus said " Seek ye FIRST the kingdom of God W ALL YOUR HEART, MIND & SOUL & HE will make straight paths for you." He ment it. I did & it is WELL WORTH IT!

[Brickjitsu]

Glad my plight could be the opening joke. Yep, I can't find a woman who wants me. I want to provide, but sharing Christ wherever He calls is more important than a big house and a fancy car. I want a meaningful life over a comfy one. Just wish someone else wanted that too.

[blueeyedsoulman]

Modern women, a wife? Good luck with that. You'll be lucky if it's 50/50.

[rjcz]

Rejected many times, left by ex girlfriends and single for 10 years. Today I have read my Bible and saw these verses. Now I think I know the reason why God keeping me a single man.

1 Corinthians 7:32-34
New International Version
"32 I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord’s affairs—how he can please the Lord. 33 But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world—how he can please his wife— 34 and his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord’s affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world—how she can please her husband."

The advice is stay single. You'll be happy, more money, not as many headaches, won't get used, can spend your time serving God instead of some ungrateful Heffer who wouldn't sacrifice the same for you. God will appreciate it.
