Messianic Apologetics editor John McKee reviews some of the significant questions raised by 1 Corinthians 7:17-24 and “Paul’s rule in all the assemblies (churches).” Is the “calling” in view a vocational calling, or a calling to salvation and sanctification?

This is then followed by a review of important stories and issues from the past day or so, largely witnessed on social media.
