“Introduction to 1 Corinthians Chapter 3”

Thoughts for Today:

At the end of the last chapter, Paul presented two categories of mankind: the natural man and the spiritual man. Now in the third chapter of 1 Corinthians he begins to make further distinction between believers: those who continue to live in worldly ways and those who live by Spirit.

Clearly, the way we live our life -- whether worldly or spiritually -- will be reflected in how we express ourselves in church, as well as in general Christian service. Paul will use the Corinthian obsession with leaders as a case in point. The wisdom of the Cross transcends both personalities and cultures. Unfortunately, the Corinthians had the habit of drawing battles lines of division among themselves based upon certain ministers of the Gospel.

Questions to Ponder:

Who or what is in charge of your life? Do you follow the Lord or a man? Are you having trouble understanding the difference? We'll explore this starting tomorrow.
