1 Corinthians 1:13

13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized into the name of Paul?

In this scripture, people were starting to follow the leaders that they were directly under instead of God.

I often find that we fall into the same problem without even knowing it. There are speakers out there like Rob Bell or Matt Chandler that are really amazing at what they do and they plant and water a lot of seeds but like it says in 1 Corinthians 3 The planters and he who waters the plant aren’t anything, only God can make things grow. Interning at New Hope I find that I am constantly hearing Pastor Wayne speak. Every weekend I am sitting on the edge of my chair in anticipation to hear what PW has to preach about this weekend. I crave to hear his messages for us. In a sense I could honestly say that I put him on a pedestal. I view him as an idol. But PW is just another planter or a man that waters the plants. God is the man with the master plan and I would do well not to forget that.

God, Today I pray that I can just be more immersed into your word. To not just wait until I hear about the bible from another pastor or someone preaching to me. To be proactive when it comes to wanting to know you more. You’re awesome! In Jesus Name

Amen.
