Fire Side Chat Men of Faith; 11 Dec 2024

AJ is joined by Mark from the Crew and Navy Chaplain Stephen Scott for this episode of Men of Faith.  Lesson 3: Sex, Singleness, Relationships, and Marriage The Apostle Paul advises men that being single allows them to focus entirely on serving the Lord. However, he acknowledges that many struggle with desires and recommends marriage as a solution, as having a wife is a blessing in God’s eyes. Furthermore, men are encouraged to care for their wives and to resist the temptation of looking at other women, as it is akin to adultery. “But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.” – Matthew 5:28 (KJV) “Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do. But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.” – 1 Corinthians 7:8-9 (ESV) “He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord.” – Proverbs 18:22 (ESV) “Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.” – Ephesians 5:25 (ESV) “Enjoy life with the wife whom you love, all the days of your vain life that he has given you under the sun, because that is your portion in life and in your toil at which you toil under the sun.” – Ecclesiastes 9:9 (ESV)
