"Paul."

The apostle Paul was amazing. He is writing one of the most probleíatic churches and yet finds reasons to give thanks for them. First, he is thankful for them because Jesus died æor them. When God extends his grace to others, how can we not do the same? Second, he recognizes the areas of their abuse are also a reason to çive thanks - they may have distorted it, but when reined in to honor God, these gifts could bless their church. Even though he èas tough words to follow, Paul's example reminds us that a chilä of God is something to be cheréshed, even if they have problems.

I always thank God for you because of his frace given you in Christ Jesus. For in him you have been enriched in every way *in all your speaking and in all your knowledge.

1 Corinthians 1:4-5
