Hard Working Mamarie

After her funeral, I went by Mamarie’s house one last time and found this very used garden hoe that has been filed down over and over again having survived so many uses. I definitely don’t work hard in her terms.

Memory of Mamarie

Today my great grandmother passed away. Born in 1908, having lived nearly a century, she has seen and been through plenty.

I have some very fond memories of her and the stories she told—working in the fields, half-court-dirt-floor basketball, and more. I remember visiting her house for Thanksgivings when she would cook a feast in her small kitchen as we played football across the street. She left a few jewels with me that I’d like to remember throughout my life. Read More »

Ceaser’s Image

Here is an Interesting thought about Ceaser’s image being on the coin so, “Give to Ceaser what is his.” We are created in God’s image, so we should be given to Him.

Missing Building

Building Construction

Building Blocks

My last post talked about the building blocks mentioned in 1 Corinthians 3 and what those are based on the immediate context.

From a broader context and even some things mentioned in the comment by NJ, you might beg the question:

“But wait, isn’t Paul talking about building into the church, not individuals?”

Yes and no.

Two Paradigms

I’ve been looking at 1 Corinthians 3 through two different views.

The first idea expands from what I mentioned before about wood, hay, stubble, gold, silver, and precious stones, and uses this premise to determine the rest of the context.

The second idea is based on actual people being our work, not what we put into those people. In other passages people are our work, but is this what Paul is saying in 1 Corinthians 3?

Looking at context will help you see where these views are coming from—and where they end up. Read More »
