In this bible talk from 1 Corinthians 7:23-40 by Steve Cree the primary focus of Paul’s discussion now shifts from marriage to singleness. In reality his teaching about marriage and singleness is interwoven through the whole chapter, without the clear distinction the talk titles imply (we started the Bible reading at verse 23 to show the ‘overlap’). Further, Paul is talking about much more than the issues of singleness and marriage. We miss the point if we think he is simply comparing the two. His greater point is about contentment in our present circumstances whatever they are. Indeed, he shifts our focus beyond our present circumstances, since this world is passing away, to living with eternal priorities. We will be serving Jesus for all eternity and that should be our focus now.
