Video of the Day: Clip from the 1992 film “The Cutting Edge”
Bible Verse of the Day:
Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. 14 Do everything in love, 1 Corinthians 16:13-14.
Biblical Connection:
Doug Dorsey is forced to retire from hockey after sustaining a career ending injury during the 1988 Winter Olympics. Figure skater Kate Moseley falls in the same Olympics, ending each of their dreams for a medal. During her comeback, Kate’s temperamental attitude results in several partners, until her coach recruits Doug. When two competitive egos clash, drama takes this unlikely couple to the cutting edge where today’s scene begins.
The Christians which comprised the Church at Corinth are no different than modern churches today. Young believers to the faith were struggling with immaturity, immorality and the ability to get along with one another. Just as Doug and Kate battled for control while on the ice, Christians tend to want to seek a position of power within the church. Paul’s call for members of this congregation is to stand firm against these temptations, 1 Corinthians 10:13. As you grow and mature in your faith, may love by your motivation for everything you do and speak.
Closing Prayer:
Learning to keep in step with God’s Word and the Holy Spirit takes a lifetime of faith. As you grow and mature, may you become a light of love for Jesus.
