There is no better exercise for the human heart than reaching down and lifting someone up. Jesus on the Cross is our best example. Let’s see why!

Unity

Contributed by Lou Nicholes on May 25, 2005

Paul’s final appeal in this letter is a call for unity. In the first nine chapters he addressed the majority of the Christians in the Corinthian assembly. In chapters 10 - 13:10, his words were directed primarily to those who questioned his integrity. In

THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: In the church there is a bond of family, yet room for variety. The devil tries to disrupt unity. To chickens tied at the legs and thrown over a clothesline may be united, but they do not have unity. (Leslie Flynn, Great Church Fights - Swindoll’s Book of Illustrations, ...read more

Hesitation

Contributed by Lou Nicholes on Nov 12, 2004
