1 Corinthians12:12-31

Sorry I didn't blog earlier, I was at the dentist...blahh

Anyways...on to the text.

Paul talks about the body and ears and feet. He is trying to get the point across about unity. Unity was such a huge part in the early church. They shared with each other, they gave money to those that needed it, they did chores for those that weren't physically capable. Sometimes I wonder were that unity has gone. Sure we still do stuff together and we don't fight. But there seemed to be such a close bond between these people in the early church. If you don't believe me read Acts 2:42-47. Maybe we have just put other priorities in the way. We value work and "success" too much. I don't know, just a thought.

This verse also reminds me of the importance of the youth and kids in the church. Everyone has a vital role to play in the church, and when they don't step up and you their talents and gifts, then the church suffers. This includes the youth helping out the adults, and also the adults helping out the youth.
