    1 Corinthians 10:1-5 Spirituality 1/25/04 D. Marion Clark Introduction Let’s review the issue being addressed.

     | 75 views

    In chapter nine of First Corinthians, the apostle Paul speaks to the issue of paying the preacher. He says it is the right thing to do. On the other hand, he reminds the Corinthians that when he was with them, he did not accept a salary.

    God holds Christians responsible to ensure that they are prepared to worship before they approach His Table. We prepare through sharing our lives with our fellow believers.

    1 CORINTHIANS 11:27 WHATEVER WERE YOU THINKING? “Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord.” “Whatever was he thinking?” That is the question on the minds of many people who read of the fall of ...read more

    If you want to escape sin in times of temptation, realize how much God has blessed you, resist the desire for evil, rely on God for your way of escape. Then take that way of escape and run! Run from the idolatry that will eventually destroy you.

    For six months, a farmer near Regensburg, Germany, worked in vain to capture his runaway bull. The bull had escaped in the summer and hid out in the Bavarian woods. The farmer attempted to lasso the animal, but the bull would always slip away into the woods. Once, the farmer tried shooting the ...read more

    This past year I faced a bit of a dilemma. My high school class, the class of 1970, was planning to celebrate its 50-year class reunion. I was invited. Would I go? That wasn’t the real dilemma.
