Sunday, August 1, 2021. 1 Corinthians 7:25-40 | “This World Is Passing Away.” God's Word does not speak to every detail or circumstance of life. Sometimes, we have to make a judgment call to know what to do. Thankfully, God's Word teaches us how to form good and godly opinions and recognize the same when we need such counsel. The church in Corinth has questions about matters that Jesus' teaching did not specifically address. This text reveals the apostle's mind at work as he reasons and wrestles with the counsel that he gives them in response. He does this in a principled and godly way that offers a framework for us when we need counsel, too, concerning matters about which God's Word provides no direct command.
