Elijah Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Feb 10, 2023

Elijah was a mighty man of God. He stood like a stone wall against idolatry, and he was not afraid to speak truth to power or tell the people what they needed to hear.

His name means, “Yahweh is my God,” and he certainly lived up to his name, standing in sharp contrast against the idolatry of the day. His primary ...read more

The Wisdom Of The Cross

Contributed by Jonathan Mcleod on Apr 12, 2005

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.

These verses are a continuation of the argument Paul began in 1:18: “The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” Paul is still talking about the cross in chapter 2. This fact is essential to a proper understanding of ...read more
