In a world where there is a “church” to suit every fancy and whim, I wholeheartedly affirm that I am not ashamed to be a part of the church of Christ. Sadly, there are some in this world who think that I have the wrong point of view. Let me take the time to supply
It is very clear that Paul loved the church in Corinth. More than once, Paul did what he could to teach, encourage, and admonish those brethren. When he did such, Paul was very careful that he did not rely on his own feelings and opinions. Instead, Paul utilized the best resource that was available to
