    The Gifts of the Holy Spirit has split churches and The Church for thousands of years. Paul delves into this lively and controversial subject in the next three chapters of 1st Corinthians. His reason for the discussion is not to provide a complete guide t

    Chapter 12 might look to some as a right turn in the letter—Paul introducing a totally new subject that has nothing to do with what came before. Although it appears to an answer to yet another question from the Corinthians, the undertone of the letter continues—“let the gospel shine brighter than ...read more

    Emotions And Sensory Spirituality

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jan 24, 2017
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,985 views

They are essential for processing, learning, perception, reasoning, problem-solving and adapting to the events of ...read more
