 1 Corinthians 7:1-19

 Concerning Married Life
7 Now for the matters you wrote about: “It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.” 2 But since sexual immorality is occurring, each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband. 3 The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. 4 The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife. 5 Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. 6 I say this as a concession, not as a command. 7 I wish that all of you were as I am. But each of you has your own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that.

 8 Now to the unmarried[a] and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do. 9 But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

 10 To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. 11 But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.

 12 To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. 13 And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him. 14 For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.

 15 But if the unbeliever leaves, let it be so. The brother or the sister is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace. 16 How do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or, how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?

 Concerning Change of Status
17 Nevertheless, each person should live as a believer in whatever situation the Lord has assigned to them, just as God has called them. This is the rule I lay down in all the churches. 18 Was a man already circumcised when he was called? He should not become uncircumcised. Was a man uncircumcised when he was called? He should not be circumcised. 19 Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God’s commands is what counts.


Supplied Life Devotional by Bill Freeman


The Father’s point of view August 24th

 “All things came into being through Him; and apart from Him not one thing came into being that has come into being.” JOHN 1:3 (NASV)

Do we see how the Father feels about His Son? The Father would not handle the universe apart from Christ. This indicates how deeply the Father feels about His Son. When Peter said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God,” the Lord responded, “Flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.” In other words, Peter received the revelation of how the Father feels about the Son. He is the Christ, the Son of the living God! Get out of your well. Get out of your problems. Get out of your own thinking, and come over to the Father’s side. Come on over, and let us stand and look from the Father’s point of view. Let us look and see how He feels about His Son. If you would just say from your spirit, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God,” God’s Spirit will witness with your spirit. You will be taking the Father’s testimony, the Father’s viewpoint, about His Son. The Father’s value of His Son is so high that He would not handle creation apart from His Son. Just consider this statement: “And apart from Him not one thing came into being which has come into being.” Not one thing! The Father did not do one thing apart from Christ! Should we be any different from the Father? The Father handles everything with Christ.
