1 Corinthians 3

ByMatt Fitzwater

This morning I’m reading 1 Corinthians 3, and I feel like I need to start taking better care of my body. Health experts classify being 30 pounds overweight as obesity.

After today’s reading, I’m thinking T.G.I.F. should stand for Thank God it’s Forgiveness. Jesus is brought before Pilate and Herod. They don’t find anything they can execute him for. But there’s an angry, bloodthirsty…
