Dealing with sickness as a single person can be a scary and humbling experience. Married folks have their spouses to nurse them through sickness and hard times. However, many single Christians often have to rely on themselves or if they’re blessed, a few good friends from their Christian singles group.
Sick, Single and Alone?
Are you suffering alone with a sickness or disability today? Please let us know so we can pray for you. Remember, our Lord is the Great Physician, and nothing is too difficult for Him. Although our Jesus does not always physically heal us on earth, He always provides us His grace. Like St. Paul, another Christian single with a “thorn in the flesh”, we can trust His wonderful promise found in our Bible Verse of the Day:
-And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me-2 Corinthians 12:9

Each Lord’s day we will be bringing you a daily devotional for singles from Pastor David Gremban of Calvary Chapel Ann Arbor, located in Ann Arbor (MI) Michigan. Since many single Christians live such busy lives, daily devotional and Bible study guides as found on the web can save us time and be spiritually uplifting.
Even for those Christian singles who have a daily devotional, living a godly single life in Christ is a difficult, if not impossible thing to do. Our world, Satan and even our own flesh tempt us with sexual impurity, stress, anxiety and depression. Having problems with any of these can influence us toward making poor decisions in our lives, including our dating relationship choices.
Fortunately, the great news as believers is that we have the Holy Spirit who can help us with our thoughts, words and actions in order to live victoriously in Jesus. May you be encouraged through our daily devotional.
Daily Devotional for Today
In Ephesians 4:29-32, we’re instructed to “put off” old practices and to “put on” new practices. We are particularly challenged in the following three areas.
First, we are challenged in regard to our words (v. 29), to speak words of life, words that edify others, and words that impart grace to the hearer.
Second, we are challenged in regard to our spiritual sensitivity (v. 30), to not grieve the Holy Spirit, but to respond to His correction and to His promptings.
Third, we are challenged in regard to our attitudes (v. 31-32), to put away bitterness and festering anger, and to instead walk in forgiveness, following God’s example. A believer in Christ has been made into a new creation… let’s adopt practices that reflect the wonderful work of God’s grace in our lives.
Bible Verse of Day
“Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” Ephesians 4:29-32
If you’re part of a Christian singles group ministry or church, and would like to share a daily devotional with thousands of singles worldwide, please feel free to contact us.

Bible study guides are useful tools, especially for Christian singles who live such busy lives. With an online Bible Study Guide, say through Bible Study guide.org, one can access free online Bible translations, lexicons, Bible study commentaries, a topical Scripture guide and basically any other kind of Bible resource you may need.
My Bible Study Guide New Year’s Resolution
The fact is, the more we really get to know God through His word, the greater our faith and blessings. Now isn’t that a great reason to study the Bible? Yet, if you have good intentions, but are busy and undisciplined like me, a Bible study guide may be just the thing you need. In 2007, I’m using a Bible study guide to help me fulfill my desire to know Jesus on a deeper level.
Christian Dating Service PLUS! Bible Study Podcast
As a sidebar to our Bible Study Guide discussion, Lord willing in 2007, we will be starting a daily devotional Bible study podcast, as a way of guiding through the New Testament.
However, before we actually start our Bible study guide through the NT, we will be podcasting a Single People in the Bible series that will focus on some of the stress, blessings and temptations of these singles. It’s amazing how relevant the Holy Bible is for us today!
Bible Verse of Day
“How can a young man keep his way pure? By keeping [it] according to Your word.”
Psalm 119:19
