CONSIDER: In these first three chapters, Paul addresses pride. The people in Corinth were bragging about who they were baptized by and who led them to Christ. In a sense they were trying to build themselves up saying "I'm better than you because I'm associated with this person." Today, many Christians including myself face the same prideful attitude. We say things like "My church is this size, we have this much money, guess who spoke at our Church," and on and on we go.. Paul tells us to boast in the Lord. It is through him that any church exists and stands. We have everything through him and nothing without him. Don't ever forget that. It's all about God.
Let us who boast, boast in the Lord.
ACT: Are you more concerned about God or yourself? Do you find yourself praising God or praising people? Ask God to humble you if your pride is getting in the way of giving God all the glory in your life. After all, isn't that what you wanted when you first decided to follow Him?
