Celibate Marriages? 1.Mutual agreement 2. Temporary 3. To resolve a problem 4. To resume = Or else Satan will turn up
Marriage: A spiritual battleground! Issue: To Glorify God or Glorify Self?
A word for widows/widowers: Good to be unmarried Wrong to have the look of contented celibacy but sinning
Widows/widowers Don't be concerned about respectability before men. Be concerned about purity before God .
Unequally yoked: Christian partner must not initiate divorce
Unbelieving spouse sanctified? Vicarious salvation by osmosis or association.
Abandoned Christian spouse? Better to live in peace than stay in warring marriage
3x = each should retain the place in life that the Lord assigned to him (v17,20,24).
The gospel Our spiritual standing before God is NOT dependant our human standing with man.
The gospel Not about changing our circumstances but changing our character.
