When Paul wrote the first letter to the Corinthians, there were many problems he needed to address. When he wrote the second letter, they had definitely made some improvements. However, there were still issues that threatened the health of the church. Toward the end of the second letter, he described some things that would destroy a congregation. It is important that we consider these, even if we are not currently experiencing these problems. If they ever do arise, we want to be able to address them as quickly as possible.
