Still in Diapers? (8 of 40)
Series: 1 Corinthians - And You Think You've Got Problems

1 Corinthians 3:1-7


All right, I got to ask you a question. Is there anything that you can think of that is more precious than a little baby, maybe your own baby, or a grandbaby, or even a neighbor's baby? So long as you don't have to maybe take care of him or her. But, you know, a little baby is one of the most precious things that a mind can comprehend.
