I think the point he was making was that what he sees as a delaying of marriage for worldly gain - or material things.

Just as with the original post - we're just getting a portion of something he said - rather than the whole of his words...

I come from the most (well ALMOST most) fundamental of independent Baptist backgrounds. The one thing we learned was that not ALL are called to be married.

All I can think of that he's saying is that he feels that many are called to be married - but would rather stay single for selfish reasons.

I'm Southern Baptist and this isn't the first time he's made these remarks. I participate on Crosswalk forum where Mohler's blog is and it was discussed thoroughly when he said that deliberate singlelness was sin.

There are many reasons that are not listed as to why people don't get married at 17-18 today and the reasons why are not sin. Mohler still paints with a broad brush and alienates the very one's he is trying to reach.
