Today, we're unpacking two teachings from 1 Corinthians--speech that uplifts and love that unifies.

This month we're examining the heart posture a virtuous woman brings to her work. A Proverbs 31 woman approaches her tasks with a willing heart, geared to service, and faithful hands that those around her can trust in. She is honorable, diligent, humble, and effective. She makes wise investments on behalf of her family that cultivate good fruit. We will look at the investments we can make to cultivate good fruit in our lives, and end with a self-assessment on how we can improve.

Paul tells us it is best to remain unmarried, but it is important to understand the context in which he speaks. In this post, we dive into 1 Corinthians and learn the importance of remaining completely devoted to the Lord both in singleness and in marriage. Yes, it's possible to do both with the help of the Holy Spirit. Marriage is not something to avoid and it doesn't have to be a distraction, but the proper foundation in Christ is a necessary first step to steward marriage well.
