Don’t Be A Castaway
SEPTEMBER 7, 2026
Daily Reading—Pro. 1-3 / 1 Co. 11
WHAT GOD HAS SAID:
1 Corinthians 9:27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
WHAT I HAVE SEEN:
We’ve all heard of someone who has said something like, “I don’t want to go to Church, they’re just a bunch of Hypocrites.” At that moment, you want to tell them, “Well, there’s always room for one more!” However, politeness doesn’t allow that. The problem is one that Paul addressed here in 1 Corinthians 9:27.
Paul said we must all watch how we live our lives. Keeping our fleshly desires in subjection, or under control. Otherwise, when we tell someone how much we love God, His Word, and His church, they may look at our lifestyle and think, “REALLY, what you’re saying and how you live doesn’t match up.” At that moment, our testimony and their desire for Christ are then cast away.
WHAT WILL YOU DO:
You don’t want to be a castaway do you?
