7 Ways to Care for Your Wife

The post 7 Ways to Care for Your Wife appeared first on Feeding on Christ. Posted: 17 Jan 2017 05:41 AM PST In that extremely complex and, at times, hard to understand section of the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Corinthians, we come across the comparison between the married and the unmarried (1 Cor. 7).

Though he is best known for his biblical chronology, I believe that his Body of Divinity is his most valuable legacy. This volume, long overdue to be reprinted, was once…
