I’m preaching this weekend at church, as our pastor has returned to the States for a couple of months to raise support and etc. We, as a church, have been trucking through 1 Corinthians and seemingly breakneck-speed, in a series called “1 Corinthians – An Urban Church Guide”. It’s been great, and we only have two weeks left. With that said, I love the opportunity to preach, but c. 14 of 1 Corinthians quite possibly will be the end of me. Not really, but it is a ton to work through. The simple fact that there are a lot of debatable items in this one chapter makes it so tough. Phil, my pastor, joked that his departure was strategic so he wouldn’t have to tackle this chapter. He was joking, but was he? I’ve been studying this chapter and it’s contents for the last 3 weeks in my personal study and the amount of content is more than a little overwhelming. But I love it. Having my nose in lots of books is good for my heart! Here is a little picture of what my desk looks like these days… Love it!
