Paul doesn’t seem too happy at this point. In fact, he sounds a bit angry. It seems there is something terrible going on in the Corinthian church, and no one is speaking up. Paul has heard that not only are they allowing it… they are proud of it. Sin has entered the building and instead of repentance there’s boasting.

The world is good at boasting about sin. Just turn on your television or read the headlines and you’ll see. We are not called to judge what’s happening out there in the world. We are called to be the light. A light that shines in the darkness of sin and brings others to the one who washes away all sin.
