Episode notes
By Pastor Jason Lim
Having spoken to the singles and the marrieds, Paul now speaks to the betrothed.
After coming to know Christ, should they go ahead in marriage or should they remain single?
Well, some in the Corinthian church had taught that they should remain single.
But Paul's reply is a lot more nuanced and balanced.
He didn't speak of his preference as a command, to become a "noose" to trap or strangle lives.
But he gave an overarching principle in his response- undivided devotion to God.
What does this mean? And how can we apply it to life?
