The Corinthian Church had a huge problem.  The church was divided on many things and was full of cliques, separation and dissensions among its members.  The spirit of the city of Corinth had crept into the church.  The church was doing business as “mere” men; they were acting as if they were had never encountered the Spirit of Christ.  It was if they were not Christians at all.  The only thing many of the Corinthians cared about was money and production; sound familiar?

The spirit of the city was reducing the Corinthian Church into groups of exclusive clubs and factions; they were even experiencing unity problems at the communion table.  They had forgotten their calling and purpose–to be used of the Spirit of God to bring transformation to the city of Corinth.

What about us here at Redemption Fellowship?  Is the spirit of Atlanta creeping into our church?  Are we giving in to “mere,” “sinful”  manhood and womanhood and excluding those from our circle who we think are less important and productive than we are?  May the Spirit of God cause us to bring transformation to our community.  We cannot allow ourselves to be controlled by the spirit of Atlanta…or Saint Louis, or Indianapolis, or Dallas, or New York…I think you get it.  Mike
