They shall die of deadly diseases. They shall not be lamented, nor shall they be buried. They shall be as dung on the surface of the ground. They shall perish by the sword and by famine, and their dead bodies shall be food for the birds of the air and for the beasts of the earth.

A Gospel View of Singleness

6 Days

We live in a culture that emphasizes marriage, often at the expense of singleness. In the Kenyan context, nearly every single person is confronted with the question, "hujapata mtu bado?" (You've not found anyone yet?) For generations, the predominant message has been that marriage and bearing children constitute the complete and happy life. While marriage is highly esteemed throughout Scripture, and it does bring joy & fulfillment, the Bible also affirms the call to singleness. This devotional is a call for single people to display the Christ-exalting truths that shine more clearly through singleness than through marriage.
