What Happens in Corinth.

For I am with you, and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city.  So, Paul stayed in Corinth for a year and a half, teaching them the word of God. Acts 18:10-11 NIV.

TikTok Live is a blessing. I see believers debating atheists. Mom’s teaching Bible. People’s prayers for others. Worship teams praise. Then there is a flip side. Atheists, witches, and unsaved lead people away. Progressives attack Bible-believing lovers of God.

People today get caught in riotous living—even those who call themselves Christian. Corinth compared to Las Vegas. But what happened in Corinth did not stay there—a church led by lasciviousness. Paul sent a letter. They did not receive it well. They sent one back questioning his apostleship. The progressives question a believer’s faith when they confront their unbiblical truths.

Americans struggle with that. We bring the world into our godly relationship: mindsets, morals, and lifestyle choices.

Corinth dealt with division, pride, immorality, suing each other, and other vices. Born again babes with messes. This was not a progressive church that denied primary doctrine and the Bible. They struggled.

Believers have unresolved attitudes. American conformity can mold us. Hollyweird, news, and demons work together to bring satanic ideals.

I was saved at age 28 and conformed to the world before Jesus. The Lord's patience is beautiful as we undergo transformation and renewal.

We do not lose people until their last breath; hope always exists. God and Paul cared for people. We should practice patience and be prayerful. We all get stuck in conformity. But as we surrender it, the Lord can continue transforming us into His image. Let’s practice patience as other true believers do the same.

Lord, instill patience in us for others. Let us see the potential for new believers. Then, as we see mature followers struggle, help us pray and not be judgmental. In Jesus’ name, amen.
