“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. […]

“Know ye not that we shall judge angels? How much more things that pertain to this life” (I Corinthians 6:3 KJV)?  Father, such beautiful words. Plain. Simple. An encouragement. Through Christ’s holiness we are glad. Hallelujah~
