Sermons on 1 Corinthians 7:32

… Slide down to verse 32. he says, I want you to be without care. But he who is married cares for the things of the Lord. He who was unmarried cares for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord. But he who is married cares about the things of the world, how he may please his wife. So that's a major thing. He says, if you're single, all you have to worry about is what the Lord tells you to do. but when you're married, you got to be sensitive. There's that big word again, sensitive to the cares of your wife. You got to, when you get married, you got to worry about, now you want to squeeze out the toothpaste from the bottom of the toothpaste or from the middle. do you want the lid on the toilet down or up When you're single, you ain't got to worry about whether it's down or up.
