Peter was the only one the Bible mentioned was actually married all the other apostles were assumed to most likely be married but it’s mentioned that Peter actually was married

A fever wasn’t just something curable and simple  back then it was a serious disease 

Jesus healing peters mother in law was like a gift to peters wife and of course his mother in law 

Because Jesus knew he would be taking Peter with him and they would be gone for a long time so he healed his mother in law from almost dying so that peters wife would have someone as Peter served the lord and followed Jesus through his ministry 

Jesus could have easily told Peter no and said we have other people to tend to and heal but he didn’t because he knew his plans for Peter he knew he would have to leave his wife and family and it would have been even harder on his wife if her mother had passed away now in 1 Corinthians chapter 9 verse 5 it says “Don’t we have the right to bring a believing wife with us as the other apostles and the Lord’s brothers do, and as Peter does?”

This scripture indicated that many of the apostles was married as well as some of them including Peter brought along their wives as they traveled 

I always believe that every time happens for a reason I believe that if jesus didn’t heal peters mother in law and she died then peters wife wouldn’t be stable enough to go with Peter when it was her time and due to that I believe Peter wouldn’t have done what he was called to do 

““Don’t waste what is holy on people who are unholy. Don’t throw your pearls to pigs! They will trample the pearls, then turn and attack you.”
Matthew 7:6

Don’t waste what is holy on people who are not holy . 

• do not preach or forcefully teach the things of God to hostile unworthy people these are people that reject God or do not appreciate him. 

Don’t throw your pearls to pigs! 

-The pigs represent un sacred people and in clean people. Do not waste good things on people who do not appreciate them don’t give or offer something valuable to someone who does not understand its value. If you give a pig or a dog pearls they will not comprehend what it’s value is. How can you teach and give preaching about God and all that is holy to someone who does not understand or appreciate what you have to say just as a dog or pig does not appreciate the value of pearls You can try to give pigs and dogs pearls but you can’t force them to appreciate or comprehend the value and meaning of those pearls 

They will trample the pearls

• this means that when your preaching or talking about God to non believers even if they know deep down it’s the truth they will deny and become offensive because of what your saying and because your talking about God 

 then turn and attack you.”

• Back in the day people who didn’t believe in God or wasn’t Christian’s would kill prophets for Talking about god now a days what this means that when we talk or preach About God to non believers they become furious at the truth because they refuse to believe it and they will fight , argue , cuss and even try to hurt you

Now I’m not saying don’t preach it teach people about God what I’m saying is don’t argue or God upon someone who clearly doesn’t want to know or even hear about God . You can’t force someone into belief you can try but just as a dog returns to its vomit so will an unholy person return to its sin that is why God calls unholy people dogs and pigs because people who rejected God are un sacred and un clean just as a pig is and so of pig rolls in it’s own filth and even eats it’s own filth why would you think it would know the value of pearls?

“But when you give to someone in need, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.”Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭3‬ ‭

What this means is that God will bless you when you do things for the right reasons , when you help people that need it but you do it out of kindness of your heart do it without wanting to be blessed in return then and only then will you Heavenly Father bless you because you helped people for the right reasons .  Don’t help someone and post it everywhere because if you do that your not doing it for the right reasons your doing it to show the whole instagram or the world “ look at me I’m a Christian I helped this man or I fed the homeless “ just so they can say “ wow that’s a true Christian God bless you or why can’t I be like him He’s blessed” well that’s all there gonna get how can you do something just because you believe Gods going to bless you or because your expecting something in return if you think like that you won’t be blessed if anything you should do it for nothing in return because it says here in John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” And when he did that he knew that not everyone would accept him and believe in him yet he still gave his one and only son for us so we should just feed and help his people as a thanks for him giving his son for our sins
