This year's January Bible study is on 1 Corinthians and is titled "Helping Your Church Stay on Course." It will challenge all of us to examine our present direction in light of God's word and will. Just a cursory reading of Paul's words to the Corinthian brethren in verses 10-17 of the first chapter immediately speaks to our hearts about our level of commitment and honesty before the Lord and other believers, for if we are unwillingly to accept these instructions we are certainly unworthy to speak of others. These become the very foundation that establishes our credibility.
