SHORT TIME

1 Cor 7:29-31
29 But this I say, brethren, the time has been shortened, so that from now on those who have wives should be as though they had none; 30 and those who weep, as though they did not weep; and those who rejoice, as though they did not rejoice; and those who buy, as though they did not possess; 31 and those who use the world, as though they did not make full use of it; for the form of this world is passing away. NASU
** If Paul thought the time was short here, how much more should we believe that the time is short before the return of the Lord? Note: He’s not saying that you neglect your husbands or wives and put ministry first, he’s reminding us that ultimately the time we spend here compared to eternity is very very short so we must make sure we are doing all we can to spread the gospel to as many as we can before our lives are over. This is why I challenge those people that are getting married to make sure they have the same passion in ministry together so they can get more done for the kingdom while also being able to spend more time together.
