The inspired apostle gave Christians a very serious warning when he wrote to Corinth centuries ago (1 Cor. 10:12). Oh, how relevant that warning continually proves to be when we are honest with ourselves! Oh, but how easy it is to forget this warning or unconsciously allow ourselves to downplay it!… Read More My Thoughts on 1 Corinthians 10:12
