Bible Note: Yes, anything that will point them to Christ! He must be lifted up to them!!! Take note of how many times Paul mentions Jesus Christ in the first 10 or so verses of 1 Corinthians 1. It is obvious the One Paul is seeking to focus them (and us) on. Perhaps a good cross reference to tie in to that passage would be Matt. 5:21-24 I feel for you brother! I know this must be hard for you and others in the church. The church that my Grandparents, Mother, and several of my brothers attended recently fired the pastor. Many of the members including my family members had already left the church and/or passed on to be with the Lord! The church was divided and had been getting worse for several years. I don't know all the issues but I do know many who were members of the church and I know the pastor personally and spent time in the church and with him when I visited my home town. It still hurts me deeply when I think of what has taken place there. But it is clear to me that God must be at the center of our lives and our local church! I say this to encourage you! Let this Sunday not be a sad day, but let it be the first day of a new direction. Stand before the church and show to them that without compromise, He is your God and He is the head of the church and there is no room for anything in the church that is not honoring to Him! Invite them to stand with you united in His Spirit (Ephesians 4:1-16) and for those who cannot put Him first, well show them the door! God bless, Steve |
