1 Corinthians 5

1 Corinthians 5

Sometimes, in order to show our love for someone we need to stand firm against the lies and deception they are living in. Like the prodigal son, they need time to see the truth and "come to their senses", as they begin to listen to the whispered voice of wise parental guidance from the Holy Spirit. If we embrace their sin, we enable them to continue in opposition to God, therefore, injuring the holy body of the bride of Christ. True conversion and sincere repentance are what is needed to endure to the end. Don't make the mistake of intervening too soon. Let the Holy Spirit of God do His patient work. Only He knows how to save the lost. Stand back in long-suffering and prayer after you have spoken the truth in love. Do not let the leaven of yeast remain or it will destroy the church of Christ. Remember the battle is not yours. Remember whose side you should be on.

1 Corinthians 4

Listen to Paul's heart's lament as he warns the wayward Corinthians in his letter to them, to take heed lest they dishonor Christ, and the work Paul has done in teaching the truths given to him by the Holy Spirit. As a father-parable example to them, he speaks to them about not being pretentious, to wait upon the Lord's spiritual-maturity work in their life, and to come to truly know Him as their goal, instead of aiming to gain power and exaltation in the public eye. The power of the gospel message should be led by the power of the Holy Spirit and not the power of man's will. All secret motives will someday be revealed when we all stand before God's throne. When that great day arrives, will your heart be that of a sheep or a goat in His eyes?

1 Corinthians 3

Our prayer is that you become spiritually aware of the strategies of the devil to be your "friend" and of his tactics to delay you on your path to discovering truth from the Holy Spirit. He is like the spider in the web setting up sticky situations to make your faith falter and your trust in God to waver, thus trying to prevent you from surrendering your life to Christ who can set you free from the subtle peruasive powers of the enemy of your soul. Make Jesus Christ your solid foundation by basing everything in your life on His truth as your guide. Become a fool in the eyes of the world, in order to truly be wise in the eyes of your loving Father God in heaven.

1 Corinthians 2

Where can you get Wisdom? Many seek for it their entire lives and never find it. Some think their own wisdom is sufficient to deal with the challenges of living in this present world, ever darkening day by day. Listen to our spiritual journey through 1 Corinthians chapter 2, as we seek the Lord's wisdom. Step along in faith with us to hear what the Holy Spirit has to say about the importance of bringing our hearts before the Lord's scrutiny.  As our inner guide, He can protect us and help us grow to know God and Jesus Christ in a true way, as well as help our hearts to be ready to resist the devil and submit to God in the end times so we may be counted among the righteous followers of Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour.

1 Corinthians 1

Be careful to not get caught up in following "man" over Christ Himself. Allow the Holy Spirit to guide you along in life, as you follow in Christ's steps, to meet people He wants you to help bring closer to Him in their faith journey. It is all about Jesus! Not about man's rules and intelligence. Surrender your life unto Jesus, as your personal Saviour, to gain a true testimony to share with others of His real existence and sacrificial love that paid the price for your forgiveness, granting you the offer of accepting eternal life with Him, if you should so choose. Boast of His love for you and others, and rejoice!
