They Are All Ours “whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the world or life or death, or things present or things to come—all are yours and you are Christ’s, and Christ belongs to God.” 1 Corinthians 3:22-23 Do you remember the first time you heard the good news of the gospel of Jesus?  WhoContinue reading “July 25, 2021”

Fellow workers “For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building.” 1 Corinthians 3:9 I really appreciate this verse because it reminds me once again that I am not alone in my labor for the Lord.  God has a plan and has a place for me in His kingdom work. Continue reading “July 24, 2021”

Of the flesh And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ.  1 Corinthians 3:1 In the past you likely may have heard the word “carnal” defined by words such as: sensual, erotic, lustful and lascivious. However, looking at this word in today’sContinue reading “July 23,2021”

Jesus is the head “For who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.”  1 Corinthians 2:16 I recently heard a message on “we (believers) are the body, Christ is the head”.  Earlier, I did write a “dose” about being part of the bodyContinue reading “July 22, 2021”

God calls the foolish Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?  1 Corinthians 1:20 Several years ago God put writing in my heart.  I tried a little at that time, but it was the opposite of good. Continue reading “July 19, 2021”

Enriched in everything “I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given to you by Christ Jesus, that you were ENRICHED in everything by Him in all utterance and all knowledge, even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you, so that you come short in no gift,Continue reading “July 18, 2021”

Grace and Peace Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.  1 Corinthians 1:3 This scripture is the greeting that the Apostle Paul used in his letter to the people of the church at Corinth.  It’s an interesting greeting in that he starts by giving grace to them.  HeContinue reading “July 17, 2021”

Avoid them Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them. Romans 16:17 Have you ever been around people who like to stir up trouble?  Every time they come around they are always looking for an opportunity to cause an argument.  TheyContinue reading “July 16, 2021”
