    Neglected Instructions

     | 8,531 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

     | 45,248 views

    Jesus never tapped. When someone taps out, they are surrendering to their opponent. They are throwing in the towel, they are giving up, they are quitting the fight. They are saying you win, its over, I’m done, it’s finished.
