Partiality for Preachers to be Avoided
1 Corinthians 3:4-8
For while one said, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are you not carnal?…


A Christian hearer, meeting an acquaintance who had been to hear a sermon, said, "Well, I hope you have been gratified." "Indeed I have," replied the other; "I wish I could have prevailed on you to have heard him. I am sure you would never afterwards have liked any other preacher." "Then," replied the wiser man, "I never will hear him; for I only wish to hear ministers who show so high an esteem for the Word of God, that their hearers shall love it, hear it from whom they may. For 'who is Paul, or who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed?'"
