From the article ‘One Man and One Woman’ by Kanishka Raffel –

“The Scriptures delight in human friendship and community. Our hyper-sexualised culture has almost forgotten about intimate non-sexual friendships. Relationships are essential for human flourishing, but marriage is not. But God’s plan and purpose in marriage … reflects his plan to bless individuals, families and society, and to display his faithfulness and love for his people in Christ.”

From the article ‘Church-Planting and Gospel Confidence’ by Simon Flinders –

“Paul’s primary strategy in seeking to make disciples was to proclaim the gospel, rather than to establish a church. That’s not to say he had no interest in the establishment of churches.  Clearly he did. But it does tell us that establishing a church was not his first order of business.”
