You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons.
Demons here refer to idols. Idols are anything we place above the Lord. We can't serve two masters or live in two worlds. We have to choose who we will serve. Which is our sovereign prince, our liege lord?
Lord, thank you for making it clear for us where our loyalty needs to lie. Please help us to place you above all other things of this world. Amen.

1 Corinthians 4:1 - Christian Leaders
This, then, is how you ought to regard us: as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the mysteries God has revealed.
What makes a good leader? 1 Corinthians chapters three and four are about leaders in the church. These leaders were apparently gaining status and wealth based on who had taught them about Christ. They were focused on reigning and judging. Paul tells these leaders being a leader really means being a servant.
Lord, thank you for making it clear the role of a church leader. Please help us to look for these kinds of people to put in leadership positions. Amen.
