Returning to this simple but effective approach will reinvigorate your daily time reading the Bible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCorinth was a major city in ancient Greece, bustling with traders. It was also characterized by a liberal culture unfamiliar with Christian ethics. Paul evangelized there in AD 52 and those who embraced his presentation of the gospel established a church.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHowever, many of these new converts felt tempted to return to their prior lifestyles. Paul responds to the church's growing pains in this letter, 1 Corinthians, by presenting a call for believers to realign themselves with the message of the cross-a message which placed Christ first and insisted that all else take second place to His headship and leadership.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe letter is a challenging read, even today, for it prompts us to reflect on whether we are Christ-centred or self-oriented. Although it prompts self-reflection, perhaps more importantly it encourages readers to ensure that they remain aligned with Christ. That is the prayer behind this edition of \u003cem\u003eA Word from His Word\u003c\/em\u003e-for readers to pursue God with the purity they had when they first believed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gary R.
