So why do we see some of the same mistakes happening over and over again? Why do we continue to rebel against authority, think we are better than we are, and act like spoiled brats? Paul wanted his audience to look … Continue reading "Corinthians 10:1-11:1 – We Can Do Better"]]> https://be-still.org/corinthians-101-111-we-can-do-better/feed 0 https://be-still.org/1-corinthians-91-27-finding-common-ground https://be-still.org/1-corinthians-91-27-finding-common-ground#respond Thu, 10 Sep 2026 01:00:16 +0000 https://be-still.org/?p=11002 Read 1 Corinthians 9:1-27 Do you think Paul was feeling underappreciated? I’m trying to discern how he may have been feeling as he wrote these words. I can tell you from years of serving in churches that the leaders often feel like they are taken for granted and left to fend for themselves. Pastors and … Continue reading "1 Corinthians 9:1-27 – Finding Common Ground"]]> https://be-still.org/1-corinthians-91-27-finding-common-ground/feed 0 https://be-still.org/1-corinthians-81-13-what-do-you-eat https://be-still.org/1-corinthians-81-13-what-do-you-eat#respond Tue, 08 Sep 2026 23:04:33 +0000 https://be-still.org/?p=10999 Read 1 Corinthians 8:1-13 Next up, the Corinthians had questions about what they should be eating. However, it didn’t have anything to do with fitness or watching their weight. We have a hard time identifying with such things as leftover food used during idol worship. Today, idol worship looks a lot different than in Paul’s … Continue reading "1 Corinthians 8:1-13 – What Do You Eat?"]]> https://be-still.org/1-corinthians-81-13-what-do-you-eat/feed 0 https://be-still.org/1-corinthians-725-40-relationship-advice https://be-still.org/1-corinthians-725-40-relationship-advice#respond Tue, 08 Sep 2026 05:32:16 +0000 https://be-still.org/?p=10997 Read 1 Corinthians 7:25-40 Paul continues to handle issues on the minds of the young church. It makes me wonder how they communicated their concerns to Paul since they didn’t have texting in those days.

After sharing all the wisdom Paul thought the Corinthians needed, Paul now pivots and seems to be answering what was really on people’s minds.
