Missing Out On Love: David Marvin Shares Encouragement for Singles at The Porch
David Marvin shares an inspiring word on our the desire for love in this message from The Porch at Watermark in Dallas, TX.
We all fall under two camps: some of us are happy to be alone and don’t want a relationship, while some of us are just wishing and waiting for the right guy or girl to come along any minute. But, all of us are missing out on true love. That true love always involves God because God is true love. When we feel unlovable, God sees us as being worthy. He seeks our own best and He bears all thing. He made the first move, making a way for us to experience the fullness of His love through Christ dying for us while we were still sinners. We may feel like we can’t be loved and want to resist it, but no matter what we’ve done, we can never outrun God’s true love for us.

Rise: Get Up and Live in God’s Great Story Book by Trip Lee
“Rise: Get Up and Live in God’s Great Story” is the title of a book recently released by Trip Lee. Below Trip talks about why he wrote it and why he encourages this generation to RISE:
Society says youth is a time for carefree self-expression, but Trip Lee says God has called everyone to RISE from slumber, above low expectations, and to live for the risen King.
The world tells us that our early years are to be irresponsibly enjoyed rather than devoted to meaningful pursuits. We’re told that responsibility and commitment are burdens to be put off as long as possible. And so, most of us spend our youth in a sad state of slumber—sleeping in on life until we’re forced to get up. The problem is that life has already begun. It’s happening right now. And God has called you to live it.
In this powerful book, Trip Lee argues it’s time to wake up and RISE, to live the way we were created to live. Young or old, we’ve been called to live for Him. Right now. Young believers face the same problems as older Christians, but they feel them in unique ways. RISE addresses those core problems in an engaging, profound, and life-changing way.
Don’t just sit there: RISE!

Teamwork Makes the Dream Work! Never Give Up On Your Purpose and Dreams: A Glimpse of My Life-Changing Journey
You can do more than you think you can! No matter how hard life and circumstances get never give up on your God-given dreams! This is a glimpse at the year-long journey I recently finished that was very tough – but because I believed I was called to do it I stuck with it even when I thought I couldn’t make it. I also learned the important lesson that teamwork, and trusting God, makes the Dream work!
These young people featured in the video who were strangers to me at first have become some of my best friends and companions! We were thrown together into an apartment, people of all different ages, backgrounds and dreams (this has the making of a reality show right?;) and we learned how to bond together for a common Dream to serve others and share the love of Christ!
Find your purpose-people, your dream-partners (maybe by first supporting someone elses’ vision) and get to it, impacting those around you! You were made for purpose so never give up on it!
– Julene, Editor of SOAR
