When Paul said, don't call yourselves "of Paul", maybe he was winkin' and noddin' the whole time. Good job, cheerleader squad in Irving...er...Corinth. Keep up the good work! I wonder if some folks in the Recovery really believe that...

It's interesting, too, Ray. I was reading 1 Cor 3 again yesterday, and I realized that Paul's warning that some works would be burned was in the context of cheerleading a particular man.
Paul give his whole warning of works being burned and then ends the chapter with, "
So then, no more boasting about human leaders!" v. 21. (emphasis mine).
Surely this is indicating that one way to get your work burned is to do them in the context of elevating a particular leader!
