Now, my "walking with Jesus" friend, we have a fresh spiritual adventure as we step into the busy, port city of ancient Corinth...located east of the modern city of Athens, Greece. Corinth was the "sin city" of its day, full on immorality and idolatry. Paul first visited Corinth on his second missionary journey in 49-51A.D. Many people turned to Christ there in response to his preaching and teaching. After the visit Paul returned to Jerusalem. But, word came to him that the Corinthians were struggling spiritually. How DOES a Believer maintain high moral standards and a godly life in the midst of a corrupt culture, they needed to know, (and WE need to know). Paul's first letter to the Corinthian Believers stresses that issue. Paul calls all Christians to be careful NOT to "blend in" with the culture, but to STAND OUT, as lights, shining to overcome darkness. He gives them clear
instructions and strong encouragement. "May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace," Paul writes as he begins his letter.(1 Corinthians 1:3) Shall we, also, pray to be supplied with grace and peace?
