1 Corinthians 5:9-12

Those members of Congress and the Tea Party who call themselves Christian and desire to extort the poor and the middle class to their own benefit cannot be supported by  those of us who are Christians …..it is against the very fiber and being of the commands of Jesus Christ. God bless America and those who do not make money their god.


Christians are called to influence the world, not run away from it. They are agents of God to carry the light of Jesus Christ into a dark world. The Corinthians were not to have fellowship with those who claimed to be Christians but whose lives were dominated by sin. The church’s responsibility is to discipline its members while trusting the Lord to judge the world.

1 Corinthians 5:9-12

9 I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people. 10 Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. 11 But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner— not even to eat with such a person.

12 For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? 13 But those who are outside God judges. Therefore “put away from yourselves the evil person.”
