1 Corinthians 13:1-13

There is a very Western way of thinking, where we value individuality and individual accomplishments over the function of the group or team. It is everywhere, from fashion, to investment advice/business success, to the self help marketing machine but this focus on self is killing the church. More than anything else, the prescription for God’s people is LOVE. With love, the church triumphs over selfish and vain ambition, even when it is cloaked in religious pretense.
