1 Corinthians 7 teaches that singleness, whether by choice or circumstance, is a divine gift and a sacred season of life, not a problem to be escaped. God's will for every individual—whether single or married—is perfect, and that true fulfillment comes not from external circumstances but from a life of faith in obeying God's call on your life...each day.

This message continues Scott's two-part series from 1 Corinthians 7, which helps us understand that God's will for every individual—whether single, married, or widowed—is sovereign, purposeful, and sufficient, with each season of life marked by God's grace and providence.

The Luggage of Life

By Scott Pauley | November 25, 2024 |

It is my privilege to do a great deal of travel. Through the years I have learned it is best to travel light. Luggage slows you down and weighs you down. Especially on airplanes! The journey is much more enjoyable with as little baggage as possible. This principle is true in all of life. Getting…
Everybody Needs a Friend

By Scott Pauley | October 16, 2023 |

Everybody Needs a Friend Some time ago I walked somberly through an exhibit that showed the horrors of Auschwitz. It was a stark reminder to me of how hatred consumes darkened hearts and how much pain it can inflict on others. We all would do well to remember that in these days. Near the end…

5 Reflections on Life and Death

By Scott Pauley | November 19, 2022 |

This year has been a year of loss. In God’s economy, loss is so often gain if we are ready to receive it. Somewhere in the midst of loss there is grace that God will give and wisdom He wants to teach. When we are forced to look at death, we must reflect on the…
Love Is Not Just for Couples!

By Scott Pauley | February 25, 2022 |

There are varying expressions of love – friendship love, marital love, love for enemies – but there is only one Source of love, and that is the God who “is love” (1 John 4:8, 16). Over this month there has been a great deal of emphasis on romantic love. (As a husband I must confess…
What Ever Happened to the Love of David and Jonathan?

By Scott Pauley | October 27, 2021 |

Satan and sin pervert every good thing given to us by God. At this moment many in our generation have come to believe that “love” between two men or two women must be sexual or romantic in nature. Love has devolved into lust. Little children are being told that if they have feelings for another…

By Scott Pauley | August 9, 2021 |

Depression is rampant and suicide is on the rise. One of the factors feeding this tragedy is that so many people are very alone. We are the most technologically connected and the most personally disconnected generation in the history of the world! All too often when we face disappointment or discouragement we all have the…
Your Best Friend

By Scott Pauley | July 28, 2021 |

As a child it always seemed important to have a “best friend.” I don’t know all of the reasons, but there is in all of us a desire for closeness and connection with someone. God made us to be social and relational beings. Sin, on the other hand, perverts that in so many ways and…

How NOT To Choose A Mate

By Scott Pauley | January 28, 2020 |

When I was a young man someone told me, “Choose only a date who would make a good mate.” That was good advice. A casual relationship can quickly turn into a serious one. Friendships often become lifelong commitments. There are many choices in life, but few have more lasting consequences than who you will marry.…
The Danger Of Being Around Good People

By Scott Pauley | November 6, 2019 |

I often hear it said, “They are good people.” This is a subjective statement, of course, because it is filtered by the person’s standard of goodness. We know from Scripture that “there is none that doeth good” (Romans 3:12). The Apostle Paul, by any measurement, a good man, testified, “In me (that is, in my…
