Internal Divisions – Day 4

He will keep you strong to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. - 1 Corinthians 1: 8


The Corinthian church had a lot of issues that Paul tried to tackle. That’s probably why 1 Corinthians is such a long letter. One of the main issues was that the Corinthians they knew it all, and their pride led them to hurt each other. They started to focus on minor things (like being able to eat whatever they wanted) instead of major things (like loving their fellow church members). Paul told them to get off their pedestals and see what was happening. I don’t believe anyone does it on purpose, but we can drift in a prideful direction if we’re not careful.

Are there any ways in which you believe you’re more spiritual than most?

Ask God to reveal any places where your pride is causing you or others to stumble.
