- Hi all... here's the link to the study for this week. Great session...RightNow Media :: Streaming Video Bible Study : All the Places to Go . . . How Will You Know? : John Ortberg : RightNow MediaVery rarely in the Bible does God command someone to “stay.” He opens a door, and then he invites us to walk through it—into the unknown. And how we choose to respond will ultimately determine the lives we will lead and the people we will become.In this six-session video curriculum, bestselling author John Ortberg opens our eyes to the countless open doors God places before us every day, teaches us how to recognize them, and gives us the encouragement to step out in faith and embrace all of the extraordinary opportunities that await.So go ahead—walk through that door. You just might do something that lasts for eternity.Note: If you are leading a group through this Bible study, watch this short training post: click here!www.rightnow.org
- In 1 Corinthians 15:33, Paul speaks of evil communication corrupts good manners. What is Paul actually saying? Is he talking about the people doubting the resurrection?
- Charlie, Paul is actually speaking about the influence that others, specifically thetas that deny the resurrection, may have on us. The word Paul uses for company “conveys the notion of a clique, a group, or a ‘gang’ who regularly do things together and to which people ‘belong.’ ” And the word here is qualified as bad company, suggesting not all such groups are necessarily corrupting. The point is to be aware (and beware) of the corrupting influence that comes from extended intimate fellowship with others and to take steps to make sure that (1) we are spending sufficient time in extended intimate fellowship with people who know and love God and are known by him; and that (2) in our relationships with those who do not yet know Christ we are being a positive influence as salt and light (Matt. 5:13–16). It is of utmost importance to guard our hearts and the influences upon our moral compass.
