Poor Handler’s of Truth - The Corinthians were poor stewards of God’s truth. Their practices demonstrated that they had either forgotten or were ignoring what they had been previously taught. They were making up their own truth as they went and they twisted the truth to get what they wanted in the name of God. They were tolerating open sin in their congregation and approached communion as an opportunity to get drunk and feast. Paul accused them of forgetting their bodies were to be a temple for the Spirit of God. The Spirit of God is truth and it is the truth of God that is to control our hearts and minds – not what we want to believe is true so we can get what we think we have to have.
