Bite-Sized Gospel
Lessons from 1 Corinthians
The Church’s greatest weakness is still its divisions. No one can teach a man who thinks that he knows it all already.
Even if we escape all other judgements we cannot escape the judgement
of God. Judgement belongs to God and we do well not to judge any man.
When we think of what we have done and think of what God has done for
us, pride is ruled out and only humble gratitude remains.
Most of us need one thing above all – a deliberate effort to live in the conscious realisation of the presence of Jesus Christ. It is not only at the sacrament but at every moment of every day that Jesus Christ is saying to us, “Remember me”.
Discipline must never be vengeful; it must always be curative and prophylactic. Christianity makes love the highest value in life and service the greatest
honour.
To take vengeance is always an unchristian thing.
No man can change himself, but Christ can change him.
The Christian is a man who thinks not of his rights but of his debts. He
must always do what Christ likes, because Christ bought him at the cost of
his life.
