1 Corinthians 3:1-9
Brothers and sisters, I could not talk to you as spiritual people, but as fleshly people, as infants in Christ. I fed you milk, not solid food, because you were unable to take it. Indeed, you are still not able, even now, for you are still of the flesh. While there is jealousy and rivalry among you, are you not of the flesh, and walking according to the manner of man? Whenever someone says, "I belong to Paul," and another, "I belong to Apollos," are you not merely men?
What is Apollos, after all, and what is Paul? Ministers through whom you became believers, just as the Lord assigned each one. I planted, Apollos watered, but God caused the growth. Therefore, neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who causes the growth. He who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive wages in proportion to his labor. For we are God's co-workers; you are God's field, God's building.
Dawg's thought:
Today's prayer intention is for an end to abortions.
As the 5 year anniversary of 9/11 approaches, I remember thoughts on how this country was at one point unified. The images from the people helping in New York City to the people united in prayer in Churches around this country still resound in my heart and I think back to that horrible day.
As I read through today's reading, I thought about that day. I thought about how everyone put aside what race they were or what what financial bracket they belonged to. People did their part, putting their differences aside, and served and prayed at the side of their fellow brothers and sisters.
Reading through today's reading, we have to remember that we are still unified under Our Lord as laborers, serving Him and serving His people so that His name can be know and loved. Take care and God Bless.
