    Paul compares what the Jews and Gentiles sought to what he gave them - Christ crucified. This shows us what is really important in our message and our methods of reaching out.

    March 19, 2006 1 Corinthians 1:22-25 Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

    We live in a time of confusion and change, where some Christians are abandoning sound doctrine and adopting the views of our culture. Christians should be unwavering in their devotion to the Bible, God's Word!

    Many of us have watched movies of wild animals on television. I enjoy watching them until they become vicious and start attacking and devouring each other.
