Have you ever heard someone ask “Why did God let that happen?”, or “If God is love, why does He let bad things happen?” I’ve heard it and I’m sure you have also. Let’s understand one thing right off: we have no right to question the motives and knowledge of God. Regardless of what [...]

When you speak to others about the Lord Jesus, or live your life for Him, there will be people who will think you are a fool. When you are moved and and your actions are dictated by the Holy Spirit, YOU will understand those things, but the WORLD will not, and can not understand [...] Why is it that Christians have such a difficult time vocalizing their convictions and beliefs in Jesus? In 1 Corinthians 2:12, we learn that the Holy Spirit shows us the things which God gives to us freely. Anything God gives us is completely undeservedly on our part — but God gives it to us [...] Christians are in the world, but are not of the world. There is a big difference between being of the world and of the spirit, as Paul phrases it in 1 Corinthians 2:12. 1 Corinthians 2:12 “Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that [...] It is expressed in the Bible that when God forgives someones sins, and saves them, that they are given eternal life. Once we were dead in our sins; but now that we have become Christians, God has given us eternal life.

It is with [...] The things God has prepared for us when we get to heaven is even greater than we can imagine. We tend to imagine things in relation to what we have experienced on this earth. Seeing a great mountain or a peaceful meadow, we may imagine the majesty of God. We may see a wonderful [...] It is not God’s intentions that people have full knowledge of everything. Some things God keeps from us. As we read in 1 Corinthians 2, one of the reasons is to bring us to Him by faith. Another reason is explained in 1 Corinthians 2:8: 1 Corinthians 2:8 “Which none of the princes of [...] Paul has been writing in 1 Corinthians about how pretty speeches and great intelligence does not in and of itself bring souls to God. In fact, Paul says, these things can become an impediment to reach the Lord. In chapter 2, verse 1, Paul points out when he came to the church of Corinth [...] In the first chapter of 1 Corinthians, Paul warned us about following people instead of following God. Some of the people in Corinth followed Jesus. Some followed Paul. Some followed others. In 1 Corinthians 2:5, Paul kind of elaborates on his earlier statement, and brings the whole topic into a new light. There is [...] |
