So what did we learn last week? We learned to not sue each other. We live in a litigious society today and can probably relate to some of the things going on at the Corinthian church. It is poor witness for two brothers to sue each other for certain disputes (such as property disputes) because it shows disunity and how foolish they look when they have to go to secular judges whom have no spiritual wisdom. Paul reminds the reader that the saints have the ability and wisdom to judge in the end times because we have access to the true wisdom of God, thus we should be able to resolve these disputes within the church.
We will continue with I Corinthians 5 this week. Sterling and Tak will bring dinner.
