What would life be like if our children never
grew up? Imagine changing diapers the rest of your
life or being asked a 1000 questions a day? Paul
wanted this baby church to grow up, mature and
become healthy. Slow start, as a ch they were
starting slow. Corinth: 200,000 pop, commercial
center, deep demonic entrenchment, Poseidon-
Neptune Latin, spirit of the sea, two ports, Aphrodite
(Venus), 1000 female slaves, temple prostitutes, no
charge to men, if served Aphrodite. Immorality was a
virtue. All female dominated society. The ch was a
young, immature. They had no church heritage,
experience, they had come straight out of the world.
They were growing, developing, maturing in spiritual
matters. They were babies in everything. Like all
Christians they and we have a tendency to fall back
on the flesh rather than depending on the Spirit.
