Today we continue our series, Covenant Stewards. Marriage. Singleness. Betrothal. Pastor Eddie will be teaching from 1 Corinthians 7:6-9 with the theme, Singleness & Widowhood.
In the Christian ideal, spouses must not deprive partners sexually except by mutual consent and for a time, and only for special religious purposes: that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Throughout the Old Testament, times of special religious devotion, such as prayer and fasting, included sexual abstinence (1 Sam. 21:4–5). Paul made it apparent that such practices were to be carried over into the New Testament as well.
