This chapter begins with Paul declaring his readers less than spiritually-minded.

Their focus wasn’t on Jesus and kingdom.

Their fascination was with things and matters of this world.

They were babies in Christ.

No wonder they had the problems they did.

“For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?” (1 Corinthians 3:3).

Ouch!

I am convicted by that.

Envying, strife, and divisions reveal carnality.

What will be the demonstrations of spirituality?

How I need God’s help to live by His Spirit instead of mine!
