Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.                                                                                                          2 Corinthians 5:18-19  The best relationships are…

And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.                                                                                                                                                                                               …

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.                                                                                                               2 Corinthians 3:17  When we know Jesus, we know God. And when we know Jesus, we know the Spirit of God. This is what Paul is telling us when he says, “Now…

Such confidence we have through Christ toward God. Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God, who also made us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.                                                                                                         …

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.                                                                                                         …

Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.                                                                                                1 Corinthians 16:13-14  In an age in which manhood has seemingly been vacated, the Bible still remains that finest and best source for instruction on living a full and…

If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to…

Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord. There are varieties of effects, but the same God who works all things in all persons.                                                                                                          1 Corinthians 12:4-6  They say, “Variety is the spice of life.” Well, whoever was commenting…

But if we judged ourselves rightly, we would not be judged.                                                                             1 Corinthians 11:31  Today’s passage is a powerful reminder that when we accurately assess our lives and identify where we stand spiritually, we can move forward assured of our standing with God and with others. Paul says,…

No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.                                                                                                  …
