Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | June 30, 2024 1 Corinthians 7:26b-31 (NIV) I think that it is good for a man to remain as he is. Are you pledged to a woman? Do not seek to be released. Are you free from such a commitment? Do not look for a wife. But if you do marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face many troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this. What I mean, brothers and sisters, is that the time is short. From now on those who...

A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. Matthew 15:18 (NIV) But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them. Psalm 19:14 (NIV) May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be...
