That man should have asked a few more questions and learned from his friend's mistake. We should learn from the mistakes of these ancient believers.
A. The reference to their deliverance (1-4)
Paul does for the Corinthians what Joshua and Moses often did for Israel. He takes them on a walk down memory lane. See, you cannot make a right decision TODAY about your TOMORROWS unless you remember al ...
