“But I would have you without carefulness [anxious]. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord: But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife” (1 Corinthians 7:32, 33 KJV). Father, You are […]

“But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches. Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised. Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but […]

“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 […]

Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

“Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid” (1 Corthians 6:15 KJV).  Father, we understand that anything, anyone that we place higher than You, Lord, is being disloyal. Please help us to be fully […]

“Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren. Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind” (1 Corinthians 6:8, 9 KJV). Father, is Paul still speaking of the followers of Jesus? […]

“Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded” (1 Corinthians 6:7 KJV)?  Father, has the world gotten into the religious institutions so much that this is rarely practiced?
