You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere men?
— 1 Corinthians 3:3 (NIV)
Thoughts on Today's Verse...The Corinthians boasted in their wisdom, giftedness, and tolerance. But, no matter how gifted a church, no matter how full of earthly wisdom, no matter how tolerant, if the people of that church are caught up in petty arguments, cliquishness and ugly quarrels, they are immature. Rather than being a place where Christ is known and shown, it is just another gathering of human foibles.
My Prayer...Holy and Righteous Father, please convict me of my sins, especially the ones I ignore or do not see. Help me see my weaknesses. Bless me as I seek to overcome my sinfulness and weakness with the help of your Spirit. In addition, dear Father, humble me gently and call me to repentance when I am jealous, quarrelsome, cliquish, or petty. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
