1 Corinthians 8

Food offered to idols is not really a live issue for us, but social media usage is.

Perhaps Paul can help our anti-mask congregants recognize authority—or at least common sense.

God invites us to live out an authentic prophetic ministry truly guided by God.

The church at Corinth had many problems. Some simple kindness would have helped.

Theosis is mission’s starting point. Believers are called to “become” the gospel through participation in the divine life.

How can Paul navigate the choppy waters of a pagan environment, with its idols and temples? The obvious place to start is the Shema.

It was after a funeral. I was sitting with a couple who were visiting our congregation, but it turned out they had connections with my husband's church, so we began to chat.  And (here's where I get fuzzy) I don't know how this came up or what I said exactly, but I must have said something about "the historical view" or "the critical view" of the Bible, and they both got this stricken, deer-in-the-headlights look.

It’s been said that the lessons of history are never clear, and when they are they’re usually wrong.
