One Body, Many Members
Jumping back into our Tour of 1 Corinthians, we worked through a key passage on how God has placed members in His Body just as He wants them to be.

God is looking for obedience, not uniformity.  He actually doesn't speak or work in uniformity, but with great diversity! 

His Spirit gives gifts... for the common good. Rather than talking through each gift and defining all these things precisely, it seems as though the point Paul is trying to make is to celebrate the diversity of the gifts!

What God wants, God gives. God is the ultimate determiner. God wants a variety of parts, a variety of functions, but still only ONE BODY!

Transition is a fancy word. It's a nice word. It neatly and tidily sums up everything we're going through as though a single word could ever do that. But the fact of the matter is, transition is hard.  Read more >
