The Church of God..Part 2
by Joey Carroll Corinth Missionary Baptist Church

We started last week looking at the phrase “the church of God.” Paul, in an effort to put down the boasting in men that was taking place at the church in Corinth, begins laying a foundation of how everything and everyone in the church belongs to God. From the giftedness of the people to the people themselves, it all belongs to God. Paul will do this throughout the letter (see 1 Corinthians 1:2, 2:4, 3:9, 3:16, and others). Since the Father built the church on the testimony of His Son and paid for each and every member through the blood of His Son, God can govern and guide the church the way He desires.

Until you are out of the relationship and can look back with clarity, you may not truly understand the abuse you experienced.
