“But I, brothers, could not address you as spiritual people, but as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ. I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it. And even now you are not yet ready, for you are still of the flesh. For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human way? For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not being merely human? What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each. I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.”
1 Corinthians 3:1-7 ESV
All,This stands out because Paul says, “And even now you are not yet ready, for you are still of the flesh.” How many of us are still of the flesh? Do we let our flesh drive some of our decisions? Why? Paul is the same person who acknowledged that he does what he doesn’t want to do and doesn’t do what he wants to do. Christ has given us the choice to walk in the flesh or walk in the Spirit. My friend James challenges, “Why would we ever choose to walk in the flesh if it’s already been conquered?” Please pray that we and our friends choose to walk in the Spirit continuously all day today. Please pray for our unbelieving friends.
