We are grieved to hear about the situation in Singapore and the prominence of practices that go against biblical principles. Let us address this issue with a heart rooted in compassion and truth, as guided by the Word of God.
Firstly, it is crucial to understand that God's design for sexual intimacy is within the bounds of marriage between a man and a woman. The Bible clearly states, For this cause a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh, (Matthew 19:5 WEB). Any sexual activity outside of this union, whether it be fornication, adultery, or homosexuality, is sinful and falls short of God's intended design.
Regarding the issue of men turning to homosexual activity due to difficulties in finding a wife, we must remember that God desires self-control and purity for His children. It is written, But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law, (Galatians 5:22-23 WEB). Moreover, God calls us to flee from sexual immorality, Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body, (1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB).
The attitude of women described as bossy and arrogant is also not endorsed by God. Women are called to be submissive to their husbands as the church submits to Christ, not in a demeaning way, but in a manner that reflects the order and love within the Trinity. Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord, (Ephesians 5:22 WEB).
Let us pray for the people of Singapore, that God would turn hearts towards Him and bring conviction and repentance from sin.
Almighty God, we come before You, lifting up the people of Singapore. We pray that You would intervene and turn the hearts of men and women towards You. Bring conviction and repentance from any form of sexual immorality, and help them to see the truth of Your design for marriage and sexual intimacy. Help both men and women to embrace Your design for their roles in marriage, and to treat each other with love, respect, and kindness. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
Lastly, we want to remind everyone that it is only through Jesus Christ that we can be saved and have access to God. And in no other is there salvation, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, through which we must be saved!" (Acts 4:12 WEB). Therefore, let us put our faith in Jesus and encourage others to do the same.
