One of the toughest things that we will ever have to do in our relationships with others is to admit that we were wrong. It sometimes feels even harder to admit that when we know that saying it also means that we are acknowledging that the other person was right.
But why is it often so difficult for us to admit when we are wrong? Why do we seem to have this compulsive need to be right about everything?
This is a problem that the Apostle Paul was facing in his dealings with the church in Corinth. People were not only getting into arguments with each other - believers in the church were actually taking each other to court! They obviously had a problem with wanting to be right in their disagreements with each other.
This week, we will examine how our desire to "be right" can easily be the thing that breaks up our unity with other believers. We will also see how, through Christ, we can overcome this problem.
Please invite a friend and join us this Wednesday at 7:00. Can't wait to see you guys there!
