Choosing Sides

For when one says, "I am of Paul," and another, "I am of Apollos," are you not carnal?  

1 Corinthians 3:4

We so often read this verse with a sort of hypocrisy.  We think, "If I had lived then, I wouldn't have been a part of this kind of silliness."  We then turn around and talk about the writers and theologians, churches and schools, that we follow.  It is comical that with this very verse in the Bible there are yet churches called "Lutheran", "Calvinist", "Wesleyan" and the like.  We don't need to hitch our wagon to Augustine, Calvin, Luther, Chafer, Osteen, Warren, or anyone else.  We need, as individuals and as a church body, to look to Jesus Christ and His word alone.  For He alone was crucified for us.
