What does one say to one of the largest and most outwardly successful churches of your time? When it is the church of Corinth one says repent and learn how to love. In 1 Corinthians 13 Paul writes to a church that on the outside appears to be successful but on the inside is being ravaged by conflict. Without love for God and one another Paul tells the church that all their efforts to please God will be a waste of time.
