Waverly Church of Christ

Those of you who are parents may remember a time in the lives of your children when you had to discipline one or more of them severely for their own good. Though it was not a task that you looked forward to carrying out, still it was one which you knew needed to be done. Why did you do it? Because you loved your children and you knew that if you didn’t address the behavior when you did, it would only get worse. This is what happened between Paul and the saints in the church at Corinth. While in Ephesus, Paul received word that things had gone wrong in Corinth as a result of some false teachers. He made a quick visit to Corinth hoping to improve the situation, but things went from bad to worse, because the brethren did not defend him against the
false teachers — It nearly broke his heart.
