Epic Bible Stories for the Single Man

-

Being single can feel lonely sometimes, especially when society keeps throwing pressure about marriage, family, and status. But if you look at the Bible, you’ll find some of the most powerful men of God walked their journey single, and God used them mightily.

Old Testament – David and Goliath

David was just a young shepherd, no title, no wife, no crown on his head. His own brothers mocked him, and Saul didn’t even believe in him. Yet when Goliath stood mocking God’s people, it was David, the single, overlooked, “ordinary” man, who stepped forward with faith.

With just a sling and a stone, he brought the giant down.

The lesson? You don’t need a big name, a position, or a family behind you to be strong. What you need is God on your side. Singleness isn’t weakness; it’s a season where God can show His power through you.

New Testament – Paul the Apostle

Paul never married. By the standards of his time, that might have looked strange. Yet, his singleness gave him freedom to travel, preach, write letters, and build churches across the Roman world.

He even wrote:

 “I wish that all of you were as I am. But each of you has your own gift from God…” (1 Corinthians 7:7)



Paul wasn’t bitter about being single. He saw it as a gift, a chance to serve God without distraction. His life proves that being single doesn’t mean being incomplete, it means being fully available for God’s mission.


Why These Stories Matter to Us

David shows us that being single is no barrier to victory. You can stand strong in faith and take down the giants in your life.

Paul shows us that singleness is not a curse but a calling, a chance to build, serve, and impact lives in ways married men sometimes can’t.


Final Thought

If you’re a single man, remember this: some of God’s greatest works were done through men who walked alone but walked faithfully. Your story isn’t delayed. God is writing it in His timing. For now, use your singleness the way David did, to prepare and trust Him, and the way Paul did, to serve and live with purpose.

Soul Ties and the Dangers of Multiple Sexual Partners

-
Image
In today’s world, the concept of casual relationships and multiple sexual partners is often celebrated. However, the Bible offers a deeper understanding of sexual intimacy, revealing the spiritual connections—often called "soul ties" —that are formed with each sexual encounter. These ties can leave individuals vulnerable to emotional, spiritual, and even physical consequences. Understanding Soul Ties In the Bible, sexual union is much more than a physical act. It is an intimate connection that binds two people together at the soul level. Genesis 2:24 speaks of this union:  "Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh." This "one flesh" connection represents a deep, indivisible bond, something that transcends mere physical closeness and touches the very soul of both individuals. When someone engages in sexual relations with multiple partners, it creates multiple soul ties. Each ti...

18 Days Since Dubai… and Grateful for the Lessons

-
It’s already been 18 days since I returned from my short vacation in Dubai, and I’m still so thankful for the memories made. The trip was refreshing, exciting, and filled with moments that reminded me how beautiful life can be when you step away for a while. But coming back taught me a different kind of lesson. Instead of being met with happiness from some family members or close ones, I was faced with silence, jealousy, and even comments like, “You’re wasting money,”—as if it was theirs to begin with. That kind of negativity could’ve easily dimmed my joy… but it didn’t. Because the most unexpected people—strangers, customers, and true friends—were the ones who smiled, cheered me on, asked about the trip, and even said, “Wishing you more travels ahead,” and “God bless you.” That genuine love touched me deeply. It reminded me of a powerful truth: Sometimes, it’s the people you least expect who wish you well… and the ones you call your own who secretly wish your downfall. But guess what?...

Can Christian Women and Girls Wear Sarees or Put Mehendi Drawings on Their Hands?

-
The question of whether Christian women and girls can wear sarees or apply mehendi (henna) designs often arises in cultural and religious discussions. Some believers wonder if these practices align with biblical teachings. To answer this, let’s examine Scripture, cultural contexts, and practical Christian living. 1. Clothing and Modesty in the Bible The Bible does not specify particular garments for Christian women but emphasizes modesty, humility, and godliness in appearance. 1 Timothy 2:9-10 – "I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God." 1 Peter 3:3-4 – "Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is...
