2 Corinthians 6:3-7:16

Well Here goes for Saturday and Monday.

Paul talks about a lot of things in these passages and I want to hit on a few of them. One is how open Paul is with his love for the church. Paul understands that the church is God's design of fellowship and worship for his Children. Sometimes we criticize the church for being strict, or boring, or any number of things. But Paul really lets us see his love for the church, specifically for those that were in Corinth.

Another thing that Paul brings up is being "Unequally yoked." What he means by this, is don't date, or get in a serious relationship with someone who isn't a Christian, or someone who doesn't believe in God. As Paul puts it, what business does light have with darkness. Too many times have I heard teenagers say that their new girlfriend or boyfriend isn't Christian, but they are dating them so that they can "convert" them. As you can imagine, this hardly ever happens, and normally it goes the other way. Normally the Christian compromises their values and beliefs.

Chapter 7 continues Paul's excitement for the Church, and he talks about the last letter that he wrote to them. The last letter that he wrote would be...1 Corinthians. Good Job! Although it was a harsh letter he says that he doesn't regret writing it because it was for their betterment.

Shalom!
