Gospel Wednesday: 1 Corinthians Chapter 1: Stumbling Block

Image
1 Corinthians Chapter 1 We begin our study of 1 Corinthians. One chapter a week. Paul, called by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and our brother Sosthenes, To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints together with all those who in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that was given you in Christ Jesus, that in every way you were enriched in him in all speech and all knowledge— even as the testimony about Christ was confirmed among you— so that you are not lacking in any gift, as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will sustain you to the end, guiltless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Like a River Glorious His Grace Reaches Me It Is No Secret What God Can Do

Sacred Truth Friday: Seek Those Things Above Let His Peace Rule

Today's Devo If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Colossians 3:1‭-‬4‭, ‬15 ESV https://bible.com/bible/59/col.3.1-15.ESV Seek those things above. Let His peace rule in my heart. And be thankful.  

Poet's Corner Thursday: Obey The Gospel Call

Obey the Gospel Call  Son of God perfect, true Heart of love for mankind Came to earth for me and you He came unto His own But they received Him not Not seeing, for their sins, He would atone. Miracles, signs, wonders cried out of Him "Divine!" Before all men, women, children Did His light shine. Self righteous, hard, proud the religious leaders were So steeped in man made traditions They didn't realize, in front of their eyes, was of sin, the Cure. He, of Himself,  did testify, "I am the Way, the Truth, the Life!" "For your weary souls, rest, I provide!" Obey the Gospel Call The blessed Gospel Call His grace reaches to all. "No one, not one, comes to the Father except through Me! I'll give you eternal life. Let Me, Savior of your soul, be!" Yet, Him, did so many reject Though He healed their diseases, His testimony they would  not accept. Religious leaders plotted, planned, sch

Gospel Wednesday: Romans Chapter 15: In Him

Image
Romans Chapter 15 We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves. Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. For Christ did not please himself, but as it is written, "The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me." For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God. For I tell you that Christ became a servant to the circumcised to show God's truthfulness, in order to confirm the promises given to the patriarchs, and in order that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is w

Gospel Wednesday: Romans Chapter 14: Judgment

Image
Romans Chapter 14 As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions. One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables. Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him. Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand. One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. The one who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. The one who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God, while the one who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God. For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to
