Faithful Pathways: How-to

So yesterday we learn that we are not slaves to sin. We are back to the church in Corinth today and Paul is talking to folks who are pretty successful.

Paul warns them about the arrogance that may come from their wealth and position. The are wise and strong, but should be careful.

And then the nuggets in this passage: How are we "not slaves to sin"...whether things are going well or not so well...
When reviled, we bless; when persecuted, we endure; when slandered, we speak kindly.
That is the way of life, the way of transformation.

Yeah...I just said "how to's." I didn't say easy.
