How to Deal With Open Sin in the Church!
Marvin Patterson
1 Corinthians 5:1-13
Introduction:
There are several men in the locker room of a private club after exercising. Suddenly a cell phone that was on one of the benches rings. A man picks it up and the following conversation ensues:
’’Hello?’’
’’Honey, It’s me.’’
’’Sugar!’’
’’Are you at the club?’’
’’Yes.’’
’’Great! I am at the mall 2 blocks from where you are. I saw a beautiful mink coat... It is absolutely gorgeous!! Can I buy it?’’
’’What’s the price?’’

’’OK, sweetie... Thanks! I’ll see you later!! I love you!!!’’

The man hangs up, closes the phone’s flap and raises his hand while holding the phone and asks to all those present: ‘‘Does anyone know who this phone belongs to?’’
