1 Corinthians 1:18 (NKJV) - For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

[walkswithmyfather]

1 Corinthians 1:18 (AMP). “For the message of the cross is foolishness [absurd and illogical] to those who are perishing and spiritually dead [because they reject it], but to us who are being saved [by God’s grace] it is [the manifestation of] the power of God.”

“The Power of the Cross” By In Touch Ministries:

“Jesus' determination to endure the cross won salvation for every person who wants to know God.”

“The scene of the cross is a paradox. It demonstrates the power of God in what appears to be the weakest moment of His Son’s life. With hands and feet nailed to rough wood, Jesus looked helpless.

Strength isn’t always shown in dramatic ways; at times it’s seen in determined endurance. What power held Jesus on the cross, when all authority in heaven and on earth was His (Matthew 28:18)? Divine love is what kept Him there. With our eternal destiny at stake, He hung on the cross until our salvation was secured.

But the power of the cross didn’t end when Jesus died. His death thrust open the door of salvation to all people—those who accept it by faith are forgiven for every sin and ensured a place in heaven.

Yet even after salvation, the power of the cross continues in believers’ lives. Millions of people have been transformed as a result of the Savior’s victory over sin and death. He sets us free from sinful habits and addictions, empowering us to live victoriously in His righteousness.

Have you let the cross do its work in your life? The Lord does not force its benefits on anyone. Rather, He offers them freely to all who will believe in Him and walk in His ways. With each step of faith that we take, the mighty work of God in us increases.”

Mighty Works Don't Work; But Foolishness Does

Webster’s says that righteous is “acting in accordance with divine or moral law”. (Righteous Definition & Meaning – Merriam-Webster) Would you consider yourself a righteous person? I think most of us like to think we are pretty good (as opposed to being cruel or “bad”), but do we really strive to be righteous? Do we actually do more good works than selfish ones? That idea in itself conjures up…

A Remarkable Story from the Civil War

Today, worn out from two very physical days, I declined to go to church, opting for an impromptu day of rest. Stephnie said the service was wonderful and I am looking forward to hearing the message when it is posted online. In my reading, I picked up a book written 80 years ago, which opened with a story from 80 years before from the Civil War of the United States (1861-1865). Before I relate the…

Men of God, this is why you NEED to FLEE sexual immorality

1 Corinthians 6:18 "Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body".

This verse is where Paul explains why believers should avoid sexual immorality, and how it is different from other sins because it is a form of self-harm. It also can destroy families and relationships when practiced outside of marriage.

Dear God I pray that anyone dealing with sexual immorality are able to find their way to your mighty Word so that with Your Word they may be able to defeat and avoid satan and the traps and distractions that attempt to pull them away from you Lord. I ask Lord please clear their hearts of any darkness or uncleanness that lies within. May your Word keep and protect and help anyone dealing with such a battle in their mind and body. Lord I pray for their strength and safety so that they may be able to start and or continue to serve and praise you with whatever gifts you have sown within them. In Jesus's name I pray. Amen.

"THERE'S DANGER IN TWISTING SCRIPTURE!"

Deuteronomy 4:2, “Now listen, Israel, listen carefully to the rules and regulations that I am teaching you to follow so that you may live and enter and take possession of the land that God, the God-of-Your-Fathers, is giving to you.

Harmony

“He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the LORD and put their trust in him.” Psalm 40:3 I am sure many of us have witnessed two distinct ways of singing a song and playing an instrument; and one appears to be more of a gift or an acquired gift than the other. There is the soloist and musician who studies the notes and practices methodically until the…

Probably the best-known passage on love in the Greek scriptures is found Paul’s first letter to the church in Corinth, 1 Corinthians 13. #WhatisLove #Agape #1Corinthians13

PRAYING IN THE HOLY SPIRIT (WHAT IT MEANS)

When we come to Jude 1: 20, which reads; But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost. My emphasis is on the last part of the verse “praying in the Holy Ghost” according to the King James Version (KJV). While some other versions like ESV English Standard Version and reads as ‘Holy Spirit’. Whether it is ‘in the Holy Ghost’ or the ‘Holy Spirit’ what…
