On the other side of the ledger are the benefits. What gains should I expect as a Christian? Today we will focus on the benefits ...read more

     | 8,583 views

    Paul final instructions to the Corinthians are too frequently neglected in the rush for self-fulfillment in this day. The Apostle would urge modern believers to embrace these instructions or face defeat before the enemy of the soul.

    1 CORINTHIANS 16:13, 14 NEGLECTED INSTRUCTIONS “Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.” A fusillade of commands at the conclusion of most of his letters is a mark of authenticity for Paul’s letters; and this first letter to the ...read more
