Review from last week

1. The advantages of singleness

2. A compelling reason for Marriage vs.2

A. Because of immoralities

3. Sex in marriage is the legitimate, regular means to curtail sexual desires vs 3-5

4. Replacing perspectives

5. A reminder about the primary source to deal with Sin vs.5

• Prayer

• Our relationship with God take precedence over every other relationship

6. A self-test for the legitimacy of self-chosen singleness vs 6-8

• A concession, not a command
