PRESUME NOTHING!
Without being sanctimonious, we can keep the standard high for moral purity in a perverse world. Though we, the Church, have always stated that it is God’s best for a couple to wait for marriage before cohabitation, it has been more a statement of conviction (although rightly based on the Word of God), rather than justifiable facts.
We, as ministers, may know that the Bible and a dynamic Holy Spirit filled life has the answers. But, believe me, the world doesn’t and doesn’t even care to know. They are no longer brought up on the Bible’s standards. Presume nothing!
