1 Corinthians 3.21 - All Yours in Christ

No one had more power than a Bishop in West Nile in the 1980’s. A revolving door of political coups dumped inept leaders with no budget or concern into this remote corner of Uganda. Most national politicians rejoiced to see this homeland of Idi Amin suffer now. Aid agencies discovered the church was the only instrument reaching people in need. So, Land Rovers and solar panels flowed. And the Bishop was the spout of the decanter. Our good friend, Ephriam Adrale, was appointed Bishop of the Church of Uganda (Anglican). Being more like Christ than CEO, he died within a year. At his huge funeral we sat among the young lions in clerical collars looking for his job. Then the preacher thundered, “…let no one boast in men. For all things are yours, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours, and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's” (1 Corinthians 3).
