“Love never fails;” 1 Corinthians 13:8a For those familiar with 1 Corinthians 13, you’ll know that this verse is the last of what defines Love. Paul tells us that “Love is: patient, kind, not jealous, does not brag, is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly, does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not […]

“If anyone supposes that he knows anything, he has not yet known as he ought to know;” 1 Corinthians 8:2 This is one of those Verses that just smacks you between the eyes and doesn’t need a lot of commenting. Only a couple of thoughts this morning. In its context, Paul has just said in

“Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.” 1 Corinthians 6:11 Corinth was a wicked city.

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.” Romans 1:16 If you have read, heard taught, or preached Romans, then this verse will be familiar. Here are a couple of thoughts: Salvation; from

“that they should repent and turn to God, performing deeds appropriate to repentance.” Acts 26:20b This will be my last posting about Acts, so please continue to indulge me.
