It is critical we be aware of the dangers adn work to avoid them.

Praise God for His patience toward babes in Christ and those living carnally, using His Word, Godly counsel and preaching, and chastening to bring them closer to Himself. Praise God for all the saints, and may we be progressively be conformed to His image.<br />Thanks for sharing your insights and encouragement.

First of all, they were revelling in human wisdom and knowledge, they were about to split four ways, each heading at a different direction, they were to bring a case to an unbelieving magistrate, they were committing fornication, they bickered over eating sacrificed meat, family bonds were weak, children were often disobedient, they were disorderly during services, they were unsure about the gifts of the Spirit, and they denied the reality of their future resurrection.<br />After all that, someone may say: "We should find and attend a New Testament church instead."<br />But the church at Corinth was a New Testament church, to which Paul the apostle addressed as "The church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ and called to be holy..."<br />In other words, despite their worldly behaviour, they were still saints, a precious gift to the Son from the Father, and of the future Bride of Christ.<br />An excellent post.
