Puffed Up or Powerful
1 Corinthians 4.14-21

We all know the difference between talk and power.
Imagine you are driving along a road, without worrying too much about how fast you’re going. All of a sudden a large car with flashing lights overtakes you and motions you to pull over. The police. With a sinking heart you slow down, pull in to the side of the road, and come to a stop.

You get out of the car, and walk towards the policeman who is standing there. Your instinct is probably to talk, to say something, to explain that you weren’t going that fast really, that you were going to visit someone in hospital, that the speed gauge in your car hadn’t been working too well recently . . .
