Does God want me to be single? This is a great question and I’m excited to tell you that it has a very simple answer. Do you want to be single? Do you want to be alone? If the answer is no, then God doesn’t intend for you to be single the rest of your life.
Most everyone has heard of the telephone game in which a person whispers a message to another, which is passed along a line of people until the last person announces the message to the group. The curious and often funny part of the game is that when the last person announces the message out loud, everyone discovers that it has dramatically changed from what they had received and passed to their neighbor.
Have you ever wondered how to become more spiritual? To do so we have to have a relationship with Jesus Christ, which can often be perplexing to new Christians because there’s a very thin line between having a relationship with God and simply going through the motions.
There is only one instance in the entire Bible that mentions tattoos. It’s in the Old Testament in Leviticus chapter 19.
Our galaxy is so huge it makes the Earth look like a grain of sand next to the Atlantic Ocean, and that’s just our galaxy. The universe has millions of galaxies. Astronomers are finding planets around distant stars all the time. As of the writing of this post some 854 planets have been discovered in our galaxy and more are being found all the time. Based solely on numbers, the likelihood that life exists on other planets is pretty high.
