1 Corinthians 11:4-16

Christian talk radio with J. Vernon McGee

Your heart matters more to God than your rule-keeping abilities. Since the church at Corinth had experienced a lot of division, Paul taught several customs and standards to uphold in the church. These were offered as a solution to help the Corinthians love each other and stop focusing on their differences. When God’s love is the motive, standards are beneficial. Any other motives could create more division.
