SERMON INFO
“But this I say by way of concession, not of command. Yet I wish that all men were even as I myself am. However, each man has his own gift from God, one in this manner, and another in that” (1 Corinthians 7:6–7).

I do not believe concession is the best translation. The Greek (sungnome) means “to think the same thing as someone, to have a joint opinion, a common mind or understanding.” It can also mean “awareness.” But this I say refers hack to what has just been said about marriage. I think Paul was saying that he was aware of the goodness of being single and celibate, yet aware also of the privileges and responsibilities of marriage. His comments were not meant as a command for every believer to be married. Marriage was instituted by God and is the norm for man–woman relationships, and it is a great blessing to mankind. But it is not required for believers or for anyone else. His point was: If you are single that is good, and if you are married or get married, stay married and retain normal marital relations, for that is of God. Spirituality is not determined by marital status. . . .

“ Great Sermon! ”
If you don't have the "gift of singleness," wouldn't this mean that the average single is "burning with passion" from puberty (age 13) until marriage (age 28)? If you can remain chaste for these 15 years, why not also for multiple sets of 15 years? In the final analysis, all modern unmarried Christians have been given the gift of singleness. Otherwise the pregnancy and abortion rates in 20-something singles' groups would skyrocketing.
