    Paul quotes Jeremiah 9:24, Thus says the Lord: "Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom; Let not the mighty man glory in his might, nor let the rich man glory in his riches; But let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and knows Me, That I am the Lord"

    Paul’s begins this letter to the Corinthians with a call to the holy, the sanctified in Christ Jesus (1:1–3) and expresses his thanks for the strengths they exhibit (vv. 4–9). But the apostle quickly turns to the first of a series of serious problems that keeps the church from reaching its ...read more

    Life on this earth is hard, and acting as a Christian sometimes makes it even more demanding.

    Saturday of 21st Week in Course So we’ve all probably read or heard sermons on this parable from Matthew’s Gospel, and typically–to cut to the conclusion–we are told that Christ has given each of us a measure of talent or gifts, and we’d better use them properly. If we do, we get rewarded; if we ...read more

    Perfect Or Finished?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 26, 2023
     | 972 views

    "Perfect" is a single word with a huge load of meaning. Do we have the right idea about the word?

    Perfect or Finished? I have to admit my thoughts and feelings when I first heard the Biblical injunction from Jesus, “Be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” (Mt 5:48) I felt horrible; I thought I was doomed. Hell was to be my ultimate destination. Perfect is a single word with a huge ...read more

    Contributed by James Wallace on Feb 21, 2023

    God doesn't work through the best and the brightest. He doesn't work through human wisdom or ability. instead, he works through a surprisingly unqualified group of people--people like you and me.

    If you're like me, a lot of you guys still have some playground memories from when you were on recess in elementary school. Do you remember how you would choose up teams for pick up baseball or basketball games. Generally, two of the "cooler dudes" on the playground would somehow ...read more

    If God calls the weak, base and foolish, why do we bow at the altars of education and celebrities?

    We live in an age of the celebrity. What celebrities say influences the minds of a vast majority of people. The celebrity may not have any real wisdom about what they are speaking to, but many will follow their ideas as if they were geniuses or gods/goddesses That makes me think of King ...read more

    We are fools of God to proclaim the foolishness of God which is the message of Crucifixion. The wisdom of God is Jesus Christ. We must be wise to the World with God's word and plan.

    Authentic Versus Counterfeit Faith (Part I) Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on May 20, 2024
     | 1,136 views

    Justification is by faith alone. But we must be sure that the faith we are operating in is the biblical faith Paul is talking about in Romans 4. The authentic faith of Abraham is described in verses 16-22. This description is examined.

    Intro Jesus made an alarming statement in the Sermon on the Mount: “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out ...read more

    Preaching Of The Cross

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on May 24, 2024

    The Apostle Paul said he was not an elegant speaker; he did not desire to use flattering words to draw attention to the cross. It is a shame too many preachers today feel they must use flattery or jokes to attract or keep an audience.

    I have heard many preachers over the span of my life. My father said they began attending church assemblies on Easter just a few days after my birth. Over sixty years have I been in an assembly hearing preaching. Think about the number of years and the many preachers you have heard. You have heard ...read more
