From the Pulpit...

Paul is answering some specific questions in this chapter. One of those questions is not "What are all the reasons to be married?" But he does address one very important reason that we have discussed in detail. How does this apply to you? Well, if you are married, the application is obvious. Do what it says. Recognize that you cannot make excuses. If you are a young person not yet married, store this up. If you are an older person who has passed through marriage already, then please share these principles with those under your care: younger family members and disciples of Jesus. Our world needs this basic teaching.
