Beautiful

Friends lived together.
Then they lived apart.
Then they married.

Their church called them to righteous
Without turning them away.
How did they do that?

They asked questions.

Do you live together? Yes.
Do you sleep together? Yes.
Do you know the Bible calls that sin? Yes.
What are you going to do about it?

Practically, they could not pay two rents
While one was in school.
The church found a home for one to stay in.

Personal holiness thus became
A community endeavor.

As, I suppose, it almost always is.
