Spiritual gifts, prophecy, speaking in tongues, women's silence in church- all topics that Satan loves to use to divide the Church, and all are topics Paul covers in today's reading. Is it not hard to see why there are between 20,000 and 30,000 denominations which call themselves Christians. http://www.philvaz.com/apologetics/a120.htm
However, Paul gets to the heart of the matter in chapter 15 3For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, That is where the rubber hits the road, not whether women should keep their heads covered in church, not the length of a man's hair, etc. The dying world needs to know that our sins are covered under the blood of Christ and that He is a risen, living savior capable of dealing with all of our hurts, disappointments and loneliness. He can also be the source of joy, peace and contentment, if we will allow Him in our hearts. Let the theologians argue the other points of Paul's writings.
What are your thoughts on today's passage?
