I feel like a broken record here....but no great insights today.
I do like the verse above as it talks about bread/yeast. It then talks about Christ paid for our sins. The connection to the bread and wine of communion is pretty obvious.
Big picture insight. There are 2 things that can get us "humans" off track faster than anything else. Money and Sex. 2 great things that can be twisted quickly and take us down a bad path.

no doubt its true, just look at our world right now. Sexual abuse charges are almost the only articles that even show up on my USA Today feed, all against people with lots of money.
ReplyDelete11 But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister[c] but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people.
I was confused reading this, it seemed like it says don't associate with sinners. I googled and others had the same problem. But a quick read from one guy I think put it in the correct perspectives. Don't associate with someone who claims to be a Christian but does not acknowledge or repent for their sins. In this chapter you have a man boasting about sleeping with his father's wife, he sees nothing wrong with it.
as the guy put it, if I didn't eat with sinners I would starve to death.
