I Corinthians 9:24-27 ~ Paul’s Discipline

Listen Now:

Excerpt:

Today, verses 24 to 27, Paul’s discipline. Here is another hindrance to the gospel. Today you will see that your biggest enemy in following Christ is not Satan. Your biggest enemy in following Christ is yourself, your own flesh with its desires. Our biggest enemy is our self, and our weakness of the flesh, and our own sin. Satan puts the bait out. He tempts us. But it is our own lust and our own desire that responds to the temptation. Paul says, "I can be disqualified after I have preached the gospel just because I have not committed my way to discipline."
