Who Is Your Model?

Here’s a good question you should take time to ponder then answer: If your Pastor or someone you hold in high, spiritual esteem fell from grace, would that shake/shatter your faith?

If it would, then you, like the Corinthians, have placed your faith in the wrong place. Anyone can fall from grace. It takes a split second of a lapse in judgment. Does that mean God’s not real.

Understand this, if that person “fell from grace,” while you’re turning your back on God, that person will likely fall on their face in repentance before a loving, merciful God. As God forgives and restores them, you will find yourself outside of the covering of God and the enemy, who is prowling around like a roaring lion, will pounce.

Save yourself the hassle, put your trust in God and don’t waver because someone else faltered. The next time it could be you. Here’s today’s Bible verse. Enjoy.

1 Corinthians 1:11-13

11 My brothers and sisters, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. 12 What I mean is this: One of you says, “I follow Paul”; another, “I follow Apollos”; another, “I follow Cephas”; still another, “I follow Christ.” 13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized in the name of Paul?
