And if you’re single, but hear the summons, I have two words of counsel: Choose wisely! I don’t think one can improve upon the way Charles Bridges punctuates this point in his classic work, The Christian Ministry: “How momentous therefore is the responsibility of the Minister’s married choice.”6 Momentous indeed. So choose a woman who loves God, loves the gospel, and loves the church. A lady like that will follow a man like you, even to the ends of the earth.
