    Neglected Instructions

     | 8,290 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.

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

    I read an article where the writer posed a question: "what keeps you up at night?" It's too early to think about Christmas songs but I thought, 'what better sleep could there be than to sleep in heavenly peace?' Let's see how.

Then there are other reasons-you have a deadline to meet and you're not ready. You have an ...read more
