What or who is your "stepmother" aka sin? 1 Corinthians 5:1

Good morning everyone. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!

Well???? Did you think about it? Do you just talk the talk or do you walk the walk as well? God wants you to do one or the other, be ye hot or cold but not luke warm.

1 Corinthians 5:1 "I can hardly believe the report about the sexual immorality going on among you-something that even pagans don't do. I am told that a man in your church is living in sin with his stepmother."

Paul is not happy with the church as they are not living a godly life. The church must discipline flagrant sin among its members. Such sins left unchecked can polarize and paralyze a church.

The correction should never be veneful, but it should be given to help bring about a cure. The Corinthians believers had refused to deal with a specific sin in the church: A man was having an affair with his stepmother. The church was ignoring the situation, or a we say today walking around the elephant in the room.

Are we judging? NO, repeat NO! We are ignoring a flagrant sin against God. If you say nothing then you are supporting the wrong deed. It is our responsibility to maintain the standards of morality found in God's commandments. Letting sin go undisciplined will have an effect, a negative effect on other believers.

What is the "stepmother" in your life? Are you letting it slide, go unchecked? Maybe cursing, slothfulness, drunkeness, attitude, pride, greed, covetness? Take time, do a reflection! What do you see? Is it pleasing to the spirit? Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
