1 Corinthians 16

The final chapter. The last of the Ben Witherington quotes. It was a rich class.

• It is seldom the case that there is great progress for the gospel without great opposition.
• If the Church is “Me” oriented, Satan’s happy. But when the Church gets serious about mission, there will be opposition!
• Just because you experience some opposition doesn’t mean you need to take the path of least resistance.
• Did Paul love his converts? Very much. He agonized over them. He loved his curmudgeonly Corinthians. He is deeply distressed at their misbehavior.
• Lesson: If you love them, then you will correct them.

Thanks to anyone who took the time to read these. I hope you were provoked to thought. I hope you were blessed.
