“Be ye followers of me [Paul], even as I also am of Christ. Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you” (1 Corinthians 11:1, 2 KJV). Father our Lord, help us to keep Your ordinances each and every day. Please give […]

“All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. Let no man seek his own, but every man another’s wealth” (1 Corinthians 10:23, 24 KJV). Father, You have shown time and again Love covers all. Help us to use discernment with […]

“Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils. Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he” (1 Corinthians 10:21, 22 KJV)? Father, You are calling us to not be lukewarm. You hate […]

“And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law […]

“For if I [Paul] do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me. What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the […]

“For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel” (1 Corinthians 9:16 KJV)!  Father, please guide us to this same place Paul came to. Through Christ’s holy name we ask. You are good. Hallelujah~
