First & Second Corinthians – Letters of correction
This devotional commentary on the letters of Paul to the Corinthian Church will help you understand your Bible in a new and exciting way each day. Paul’s first letter was prompted by receiving word from people in the church concerning problems and divisions.
The people were requesting answers concerning such things as marriage, the eating of food, worship, and the resurrection. We cannot be sure as to all that took place between I and II Corinthians but it seems that by the time Paul wrote II Corinthians the problems that prompted the first letter had been resolved. We find an outpouring of the Apostle Paul’s heart towards a group of believers in a church which he had founded and which he dearly loved. As you read these devotional thoughts which Lou has shared with his family around the breakfast table each day your life will be challenged through real life illustrations and practical applications.
