scripture: 1 corinthians 5:5

Paul writes to a church that is in the emergency room! He has diagnosed the problem: CANCER. He sees SIN as a CANCER that will destroy the body of Christ. He urges the church at Corinth to remove the cancer- to purge itself of sin… to remove the member who is involved in incest! The church will either stand together or fall based on this action.

The gospel necessitates oneness in the Church. In 1 Corinthians, Paul seeks to unify a church divided by factions by explaining the things that make us one, including the One Law we need to govern our unity.
