DAY 297

ROBLEMS IN THE CHURCH*

Bible Passage  I Corinthians 1:10-17

Instead of seeing Christ as the only way of salvation, the people in the church at Corinth were arguing on whether the person to follow was Paul or Appolos. In the same way today, people argue about what church is better. The important thing about any church is that it gives honour to Christ and helps people to accept Him into their lives and live as Christ lived

.

TODAY'S ACTION

Pray that you will not tell people about Jesus only because you want them to join your church, but for them to have salvation.
