1 Corinthians
The theme of 1 Corinthians is found in chapter 6:

Bob Russell was invited to pray in 1995 for the Kentucky Governor's Prayer Breakfast. Since it was a prayer breakfast, no one protested. But Joe Wright used that same prayer in a den of liberal lions and Paul Harvey rebroadcast that prayer on the radio. In the days that followed, Central Christian Church received 6500 calls, and only 47 negative.
If you believe the Bible and stand for the truth, you probably agreed with that prayer you heard in the clip. But if your opinion supersedes the Word of God, if you're a humanist, if you have falle ...
