Josh 12-14 1 Cor 7

The sanctity of marriage is held in high regard but a sole life devoted to the Lord is better. Today, in our sex-charged environment these words for the believer can have a strange ring to it. Yet when we consider the life to which God calls us it is no wonder Paul emphasizes this particular instruction. Leading a biblical life takes a good proportion of our attention and the issues of family life can impede on this. A strong church community and good believing friends can be a safeguard against the disruptions of a broader community life but even so, the preeminence of a godly relationship must take first place in every individual.
