Christianity's highest value is not tolerance! Tolerance has become a kind of religion unto itself - and a very popular one. Those who refuse to bow to the god of Tolerance will not be tolerated! What we see in Jesus isn't open-mindedness about sin, but an offer to cleanse anyone who wants to be clean. That requires certain things of His church. We began to speak about those on Friday. We're in 1 Corinthians 5, with Jim.

RS10062025_0.mp3Scripture References: 1 Corinthians 4-6

Our transformation comes with an obligation. We're responsible, of course, for our own actions. But what about the conduct of others? And which others? Are we accountable for the behavior of our minor children, for example? Most would say "yes" - and our laws may one day reflect that idea. But what about grownups who are not our relatives? Aren't our fellow servants of Christ allowed to serve Him however they see fit? The Corinthians had come up with the wrong answer to this question.

Falling into factions, versus following a father. The ink was still drying on the parchment where Paul had warned the Corinthians to escape whatever cult of personality they had joined - including the "cult of Paul." But now he felt the need to correct the church, and to do that, he had to remind them that he had a unique relationship with them. It's not about personality, but responsibility. Here's a sermon Jim preached on Father's Day a few years ago, called Faith Fathers.

Is a carnal Christian really a Christian? When a saved person acts like an unsaved person, all of the alarm bells should go off! We're not talking about new believers - we'll be patient with them and provide good examples while the Spirit helps them grow. But are we growing? Do we even understand that spiritual maturity is the goal? We've got problems with this in the American church, just like they did in the Corinthian church. Here's Jim to conclude his message on, Stunted Growth.

A "party spirit" isn't actually as fun as it sounds. Paul once gave us a list of "deeds of the flesh," including "hatreds, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions," and the one we'll look at today: "factions." An older translation gives that as "party spirit," as in a political party - we would say, "partisanship." Why do Christians divide themselves into streams of teaching, or teachers? We need to stop.

Real philosophers love Jesus. Once you've said that "all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden" in Christ, that's it. There's no wisdom left for pretenders like Plato, Descartes, Nietzsche. It's all in Jesus. And it's "hidden." Hidden from those who claim to love wisdom, but who aren't willing to look for it at the Source. We're in the letter of 1 Corinthians today to conclude Jim's message, The Degree That Destroys.

Higher education, lower destination? "I am much afraid that schools will prove to be the great gates of hell unless they diligently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures, engraving them in the hearts of youth." If you know that quote is from Martin Luther, go to the head of the class! The battle for our minds is an ancient one; it goes back farther than we may realize.

Tongue-tangled. The Corinthian church had become disordered. Not just their church "services," as we would call them, but the church itself was in danger of losing its unity. And all because they had become enamored of certain gifts. Paul sets them straight about the proper hierarchy of spiritual gifts, but then he writes, "Now I'll show you a more excellent way." We've been looking at that "way" that outshines all the gifts, and even rises above faith, and hope!

Love constrains. Since the Sixties at least, "love" has been used to excuse all kinds of harmful behavior. "Free love" was a popular cliché then. "Love is love" something you might hear today. But real love lives in harmony with the Law of God. And it restricts our choices to those that actually help other people. In 1 Corinthians, Paul was teaching that church about the nature and supremacy of love.

"Pursue love!" But how? "And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love." When Paul wrote that, he didn't know that someone would come along later and put a chapter break there! What we call the "love chapter" is really part of a larger discussion about gifts, self control, order in the church... and love. It all started because the Corinthians had valued their gifts above the purpose of the gifts.

God will break the standing laws of the universe, before He will break a promise to you! Father Abraham had heard God give a promise. Then he heard God tell him to kill that promise. And he concluded that the Lord must be planning a resurrection! That's faith! And from it grows hope, the quality we were studying last week. Let's spend a few minutes hoping today. We'll join Jim at 1 Corinthians chapter 13, verse 12.

They're delivering it Wednesday... but I own it now! We're actually very familiar with the Christian concept of hope, and most of us use it all the time. "It's mine now - here's the receipt - it's just in transit." That's our situation in the spiritual realm. In the New Testament, the Apostles tried to teach us about our "inheritance." Well, an inheritance is legally, rightfully yours. It's coming - even though you have to wait a bit. Here's Jim in Paul's letter to Titus.

Without faith it is impossible to please God. Without love I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. But without hope... oh, my. "Without Hope" could be the epitaph of our civilization, the caption beneath every picture of the site of another school shooting. We're finding out the hard way that humanity cannot survive without hope. So what is real hope, and where does it come from? Christians do have the answers.

Were you ever surprised that God answered your prayer? It was not the church's finest hour when Peter, miraculously released from prison, showed up at the prayer meeting, and the believers didn't believe that God had answered their prayer - while they were praying it! Today Jim will conclude his three-part message on faith and prayer. We'll look at the petitions of a prophet and a righteous king, and we'll see how God receives our prayers in Heaven. We'll pick up the sermon in the book of Acts.

Sometimes we give our problem to the Lord in prayer... and we think He won't notice when we take it right back. Yesterday we began to think together about prayer - how it grows out of our faith, and then nurtures our faith in return. Today we'll see some examples from the very early days of the church. Granted, these were extraordinary times, and God was shaping the course of history through these prayers, but we'll find that the principles work on the smaller scale of our lives, as well.

How strong is your faith? How's your prayer life? And do we realize that those are the same question? Only those with faith can pray - really pray - and when we do pray, our faith grows. But that feedback loop works in reverse, too, and many Christians find it easy to seek answers in the "self help" section, and difficult to seek God. Here's a message that should help all of us, then. It's called, Faith, Hope, Love in Prayer, and here's Jim with Part 1.
