    Is it wrong to desire marriage?

    A majority of young people still desire marriage as a ‘life goal’ — according to a 2022 YouGov survey, 60% of 18-34 year olds desire to get married. But is it right to desire marriage? Does marriage conflict with serving God? How should Christians think rightly about relationships? This passage from 1 Corinthians helps us to explore all these questions and more.

    Wisdom, maturity, & marriage

    In this passage, Paul teaches the Corinthians how to deal with questions of marriage and sexuality with godly wisdom. This is a message we need to hear today in a world where we face the same kind of issues. What does it mean to be godly and wise and face questions such as sexual temptation, divorce, and unbelieving husbands or wives? Understand the Bible is a reader-supported publication.

    Sexual liberation is not freedom

    The sexual revolution of the 1960s promised freedom from the old, oppressive rules of Christianity. However, looking back over the last 60 years, it seems that freedom is the last thing that it has brought us. How should Christians think about the body and what it means to live rightly in this world? Understand the Bible is a reader-supported publication.

    How NOT to deal with sin in the church

    Sometimes we can learn as much by looking at the wrong way of doing things as we can from studying the right way. This is the case with the Corinthians: they had been dealing with sin in the church in completely the wrong way. We saw that last week, but this week we’re focussing on a particular case study in how they managed to get things wrong… My piece about safeguarding is here: Understand the Bible is a reader-supported publication.

    If we don't purify the church, God will

    Have you ever known anyone expelled from a church because of immoral behaviour? Perhaps that is because most churches simply gloss over Paul’s teaching here about how important it is to purify the church. If we don’t take this teaching seriously, then God will.

    How to avoid hypocrisy

    One of the most off-putting things about people is hypocrisy: we hate it when people say they believe one thing, but then do something completely different. This is doubly the case for Christians, where our lives should reflect God. What does that mean for us, and how can we avoid hypocrisy? Understand the Bible is a reader-supported publication.

    Growing to maturity in Christ

    Do we out-grow the gospel? Some Christians or churches give the impression that the gospel is there for the start of our lives but we move beyond it as we grow to maturity. But the truth is, we do not out-grow the gospel message of Christ crucified — in fact, it is how we grow. Understand the Bible is a reader-supported publication.

    How to find true wisdom

    Many people in the world have started to look for wisdom over the last few years. A lot of people have even turned to the Bible. But how do we really find wisdom? In this passage, Paul explains that there is a difference between godly wisdom and worldly wisdom — and he shows how we can get godly wisdom.
