1 Corinthians 7-8
from Daily Devotional With Murphy Eyenike Hosted by Murphy Eyenike
The Corinthian Church faced many struggles, and Paul has addressed a few already in the book; divisions, siding with church leaders against one another, avoiding sexual immorality and taking one another to court. Paul continues this pattern in chapters 7 and 8 where he gives the church instructions on marriage in light of the difficult times they were living in, and then how they should handle or treat food offered to idols. The guiding verse for me has to be 1 Cor 8:1; "but while knowledge makes us feel important, it is love that strengthens the church." Never forget that, in Christ, we are at liberty to do a lot of things, however, love must always be our guiding principle. The question to always ask oneself regularly is; are my actions done in love or not.
