I Cor. 16:15-16– I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,)
16 That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth.
The Apostle Paul is exhorting the Church at Corinth to become like the house of Stephanas. He states that they had “addicted themselves to the ministry.” The word “addicted” means: habitual, devoted, wholly given to, and can’t live without.
Things We Should be Addicted To!
*we should be addicted to…
Prayer!
Preaching!
the Promises!
Praising Jesus!
Practicing the Scriptures!
Presenting ourselves as living sacrifices! (Rom. 12:1-2)
Picking up a downtrodden Brother or Sister!
Oh may we become less interested in the gadgets and trinkets of the world and more involved in eternal things, to the point of addiction!
-Pastor Doug Foster
