Is modern society becoming as morally corrupt as ancient Corinth?
Yes, modern society is fast becoming not much better than ancient Corinth. The moral climate is falling away and the moral fiber is rotting from under us. The same immoral acts occur even in local churches, and many think nothing of it, paralleling the Corinthian situation Paul addressed.
Les explains that in our own society we are fast becoming not much better than Corinth, with our whole moral climate falling away and the moral fiber rotting from under us. He notes that these very same acts can take place in local churches and nobody thinks anything of it. People call from various states asking what to do when a couple is living in sin openly, walking into church as though nothing is amiss. Paul says that is not the way it is supposed to be. If there is gross immorality or covetousness, the church has to make a point of it, not turn a blind eye. The remedy is to confront the couple as a body of believers, gathered in the name of the Lord Jesus, as a corporate action.
