1 Corinthians 11:19 The Person Who Loves to Argue

Avoid those in the church who love to tend to enjoy debates and arguments. It is not the church’s custom to do these thing. [...]

1 Corinthians 11:13-15 Glorious Gifts from God

Christians serve a God Who gives us good gifts. He watches out over us and sometimes without us even asking will provide us with things that we need. As I studied 1 Corinthians 11:13-15, I was reminded of some of how God has promised to take care of us. These three verses in 1 [...]

1 Corinthians 11:11,12 The Unity of Marriage

When a man and a woman are united in marriage in the eyes of God, they are seen in God’s eyes as one, and inseparable. Paul describes this unity in his discussion of the hierarchy which God has established.

1 Corinthians 11:11,12 “Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without [...]

1 Corinthians 11:10 Our Inward Dedication to God Expressed Outwardly

Our appearance is an outward reflection of our inward reverence for the Lord. Paul has been writing in 1 Corinthians 11 about modesty and how it reflects on yourself and the person who God has made responsible for you. Verse 10 adds another dimension.

1 Corinthians 11:10 “For this cause ought the woman to [...]

1 Corinthians 11:3-9 The Head of Our Lives

In 1 Corinthians 11:3-15, Paul writes about our obligation to who God has established as our “head”. In verse 3, Paul identifies who our head is:

1 Corinthians 11:3 “But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the [...]

1 Corinthians 11:1 Christian Responsibility and Leading by Example

Beginning in 1 Corinthians 11, Paul explains to the Corinthian church the Biblical hierarchy which God has set up. I have heard people quote this passage out of context on more than one occasion. I’ve read commentaries which I don’t necessarily agree with either. I hope in the coming days to let you know [...]

1 Corinthians 10:31-33 Charitable Living

How often do we think to ourselves, “Will this thing I do bring praise to the Lord?” Speaking for myself, not as often as I should. We have a tendency many times to do what is best for us. We live in a very materialistic world where there’s great concern if we don’t have [...]

1 Corinthians 10:25-29 Your Life in the Eyes of the Lost

In 1 Corinthians 10:25-29, Paul gives us an example of what he wrote in verses 23 and 24: that even though something may be appropriate for us to do, does not give us the liberty to do it if it harms and unsaved person. The example which Paul gives to the Corinthians involves eating [...]

1 Corinthians 10:23,24 Bringing Others to Christ With Our Lives

How often do we consider the impact on others when we make a decision? I’m of course referring to decisions in our Christian life. A lot of times we ask ourselves the question, “Is this alright for me to do?” or we ask, “If I did this, would I be committing a sin?” But [...]

1 Corinthians 10:22 Causing Injury to God

Would you do injury or harm to the Lord Jesus Christ? It seems you would only do something like that if you hated the person. Yet, Paul asks a similar question of us in 1 Corinthians 10:22.

1 Corinthians 10:22 “Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?”

Paul didn’t [...]
