    Apparently trying to humble the Corinthians, Paul makes a series of contrasts.

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: A well-known Christian businessman who was visiting a church was asked to give his testimony. He said, "I have a fine family, a large house, a successful business, and a good reputation. I have plenty of money so I can support some Christian ministries very generously. ...read more

    Being a mature Christian means more than going to church to be educated and entertained - it means growing to the point where you become an example to others.

    OPEN: What does it mean to be grown up? A group of 5 to 8 year children were asked that question and these were their answers: David, age 7, said you know you’re grown up when your clothes don’t fit anymore. Angie (6) said she believed being a grown up meant being able to ride a bike with no ...read more

    Was Jesus and the disciples rich? Why did the apostles say, "To the present hour we both hunger and thirst, and we are poorly clothed, and beaten, and homeless"?

    False Teaching on Wealth The very basis of the Word-Faith doctrine on money is that it is a God-given guarantee. It is supposedly guaranteed because of God’s covenant with Abraham. It is argued that we are under that same covenant. All we need to do is look at the covenant God made with Abraham ...read more

    Christianity would benefit greatly if there were more humble individuals in both pulpits and pews

    When asked what were the three most important Christian virtues, Augustine replied, "Humility, humility, and humility." Yet, this great virtue is in rather short supply in our culture. Even very good people seem to have a hard time being really humble. One day Linus tells Charlie Brown, "When I ...read more

    Some groups put The Pastor on a pedestal as God’s annointed, a spiritual super-star to be admired and honored. In our passage today Paul sarcastically shreds this un-Christlike view of leadership.

    Spiritual Leadership 1 Corinthians 4 Most American Christians are soft. Our crosses are pretty jewelry, not instruments of brutal death. They warmly decorate our houses rather than warning of suffering. Particularly in the suburban Bible Belt, our versions of Christianity depict sanitized pictures ...read more

    The Corinthians had made the mistake of approaching worship like a smorgasbord. They were taking what they thought was the best and walking by what they really needed on their plates.

    This is Church not Theatre 1 Corinthians 4:1-21 Today’s scripture passage is meant as a loving correction from a father to his children.
