LST Spiritual Breakfast ~ Marriage

I just learned that many of the things we have been taught to "need" we really don't, yet to "want" them means more and teaches discipline to not fall into unwanted pitfalls trying to fulfill selfish needs..

I often hear people speak of needing a husband or a wife, yet in the BIBLE Paul did not and was not married and he also stated that, "but I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they remain even as I am;" (1 Corinthians 7:7, . He also taught that the unmarried are free to "care for the things of the Lord" (1 Cor. 7:32), whereas the married must devote time and attention to their spouse as well (v.33). We are to remain unmarried IF one can do so and avoid sexual sin. If not (as very few are ready to a commit to a life of celibacy), it is "better to marry than to burn".

Also many still question whether Jesus was married as the gospel remains silent on the topic.. However, that was not why GOD sent him here..

So I continue to say you only NEED a wife or a husband if you can not sustain from having SEX outside of marriage and are not willing to commit to a life of celibacy.. So until you find the one you WANT who should be within reason don't fall into the trap of finding people who only can fulfill your needs because once that need is fulfilled their presence is no longer wanted or needed..

Have a wonderful Monday!!
