Tillotson: wickedness, then division

Thursday, May 21, 2015
    Feast of Commemoration of Helena, Protector of the Faith, 330
Meditation:
    You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere men?
    —1 Corinthians 3:3 (NIV)
Quotation:
    Next to the wicked lives of men, nothing is so great a disparagement and weakening to religion, as the divisions of Christians.
