Well today was the first day for reading Corinthians. If you are in the church youth group then you should have gotten a reading plan for the next five weeks. If not comment and I'll send you one through email.
Day 1: When reading about the division that the church had in Corinth I started to wonder about our youth group and the divisions that we have. Are we divided? Does any group think they are better for any reason? I think we have a great group that is pretty united.
Another thing that really stuck out to me was the last part of the last verse. Vs 17 says "For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power." What does Paul mean "words of human wisdom. I thin that he is getting at the fact that Christ dying for us doesn't make sense in our world of " It's all about me." I think tomorrows reading will shed some more light on it.

I think the statement that Paul made about being united in thought and purpose is still important today. Too many times Christians argue about silly things and it is those silly things that distracts us from the really important stuff...like, what Paul says later, sharing the good news of Jesus.
Peace out.

I think what Paul is tring to say is that he dose want to have people
say like"in the name of Pau" you wont say that he said .Ithink the
message was a good one

I agree with Allison. I feel like Paul is telling us to pick our battles wisely. The little stuff can get in the way of what's really important! Mama P
...and the silly stuff is determined to be silly by...?

yah. I thinks this is a really cool passage. I think the begging is a bit convicting though. I mean how mant times a day do we stop to think how much God has blessed us? I don't do it very often... I am going to try to do it more often!
go alison! =D yup i just read it..i think it is silly to have arguements bout little things.. but sumtimes its important "little things"

I think Brock brings up a good point. Who determines which things are little?
