    Paul reminds the Corinthians of his manner of preaching when he came to their city. His example is an excellent one for all present-day preachers.

    Paul explains in these verses how some have come to reject the world’s opinion of the cross and see in it the wisdom of God.

This fact is essential to a proper understanding of ...read more

    The cross reveals the holiness and the sinfulness of man, Christ resurrection is the bud of promise and our resurrection is the flower of fulfillment, so the most rewarding end of life is to know the life that never ends.
