Building a Biblical Theology
Paul has been admonishing the local church at Corinth toward unity through maturity. He has explained Christian liberty now explicitly and by way of illustration. Idolatry has less to do with what goes into the body and more to do with what flows from the heart, evidenced not in consumption of certain foods or drinks... Continue Reading →
Paul writes to the Corinthian church, admonishing the congregation toward unity through maturity. Leading into this pericope, Paul expounded on Christian liberty and responsibility—referring to himself as a voluntary slave to all people and admonishing the local church to relate to those who are of the world for the sake of the Gospel.

Paul is admonishing the church at Corinth toward unity through maturity. In the previous section, he encouraged the church toward Christian liberty to God’s glory—showing that abstinence from good things may be necessary for a time in order to exhort brothers and sisters in the faith so their consciences may be strengthened in the liberty...

In the local church at Corinth, there was much gossip (probably secret or ambush meetings), divisions, inflated disagreements about politics, and people who were living in sin and causing division were being elevated over those who tried to honor Christ with their lives.

https://www.facebook.com/andrewpcannon/videos/1096233233847837/ The story is too familiar. You visit a church and everyone is nice, but no one seems to truly care. The people wear masks of righteousness only to, after you have committed yourself, remove those masks to reveal the face of a horrid witch-like creature. Or, perhaps, a different mask is worn: a...

It is a simple relay of information from one person to another for informational purposes. The second is creative and hopes to inspire thought.
