Good
morning. And I could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to men of
flesh, as to infants in Christ. I gave you milk, not solid food; for you were
not able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not able, for you are still
fleshly. For since there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly,
and are you not walking like mere men? They were still trying to operate in
human wisdom, and not the wisdom of the Spirit. When you do that, your human
desires get in the way of hearing from God. What jealousy, and what strife? For
when one says, “I am of Paul,“ and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not mere
men? They were looking to men for their teaching, not to God. Paul did not want
even himself to be the one they looked to, but rather for them to look to God.
What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed,
even as the Lord gave opportunity to each one. Sadly even today Christians look
to men rather than to God for their inspiration. This gives rise to various “camps“.
If you are not a part of the same camp I am, you are not worth listening to.
Father thank You for all that You’ve given us of Your wisdom and understanding.
Help us to look to You and not to man for our instruction
