Truedog, don't worry. The true Christians are of One Spirit, and understand that there is a time for everything under Heaven.
(Ecclesiastes 3:1-8)
The Lord knows our hearts, and assigns us different jobs to do. He also heals the wounds and gives strength to the weary. His Love is more powerful than any other force.

PRAISE GOD!!!, Colleen

from C Kahn:

I always thank God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. For in him you have been enriched in every way - in all your speaking and in all your knowledge.
1 Corinthians 1:4-5


The apostle Paul was amazing. He is writing one of the most problematic churches (Like this one), and yet finds reasons to give thanks for them. First, he is thankful for them because Jesus died for them. When God extends his grace to others, how can we not do the same? Second, he recognizes the areas of their abuse are also a reason to give thanks - they may have distorted it, but when reined in to honor God, these gifts could bless their church. Even though he has tough words to follow, Paul's example reminds us that a child of God is something to be cherished, even if they have problems.
