“Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils. Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he” (1 Corinthians 10:21, 22 KJV)? Father, You are calling us to not be lukewarm. You hate […]

“Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; And did all eat the same spiritual meat” (1 Corinthians 10:1-3 KJV).

“For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that […]

“And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any […]

“I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, ‘It is good for them if they abide even as I. But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn’” (1 Corinthians 7:8, 9 KJV). Father, as we begin our week we ask that You protect us from evil. […]

“For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that” (1 Corinthians 7:7 KJV).  Father, thank You for the freedom to marry or not to marry. If widowed to stay widowed or to not. We need Your […]
