We Walk By Faith Not By Sight
(2 Corinthians 5:6-7) There is a blindness on the people of this world that causes them not to see the truth of God. They demand proof that can be seen and measured scientifically before they will accept the truth of any matter. They say that “Seeing is believing.” But in Christ we learn the opposite…

The Spirit As Guarantee
(2 Corinthians 5:1-5) In my last post I wrote about why Christians get sick. The key to understanding that is knowing that this Christian walk is not about the flesh but about the spirit. The work that is going on in us is a spiritual work. The flesh is of no avail. In this section…

Why Do Christians Get Sick
(2 Corinthians 4:13-18) We talk a lot about sickness and healing in church as Christians. And the bible shows HEAPS of examples where the Lord and the apostles walked amongst the people healing the sick. So it raises the question today, why do Christians get sick? I see churches who run healing meetings at and…

Unbreakable In God’s Power
(2 Corinthians 4:7-12) Anyone who has faith will never doubt the power of God to protect and save. The examples in the bible are numerous where God has exercised His power to prevent calamity and death among His people. Paul recognized this power and shows us how the people of God are unbreakable in God's…

Let There Be Light
(2 Corinthians 4:6) Among Christians there has been an argument running for many years concerning how God created the world and everything in it. One of the interesting parts of the argument is centered around what God meant when He said on the first day of the creation, “Let there be light.” There are those…

Proclaim Christ First
(2 Corinthians 4:5) This scripture is a great lesson and reminder for those of us who teach and preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. It needs to be remembered, especially as there are many today who do not follow the teaching Paul is giving us here, which is to proclaim Christ first. There are ministries…

If God is Good, Why do People Suffer
(2 Corinthians 4:1-4) As a Christian I have heard this question posed many times by non-believers who believe it is a plausible argument for the non-existence of God. It is a question that smacks of hypocrisy because those who pose it do not believe in God in the first place. They say, “If God is…

Lifting the Veil of the Law
(2 Corinthians 3:12-18) There is a process in corporations law that is known as lifting the veil of the law. It applies to the ability of the courts to get behind the protections in corporations law to hold the directors of a company accountable for their actions when they act unconscionably or defraud shareholders, investors…

The Glorious Gospel
(2 Corinthians 3:7-11) Sometimes it is easy to become complacent about the wondrous opportunity we have been given by God in the gospel of Jesus Christ. Sometimes we take it all for granted, not realising how truly blessed we are to live in this age where we can receive the gospel of Jesus Christ. This…

Do You Need A Degree to Teach the Gospel?
(2 Corinthians 3:1-6) This is a fascinating piece of scripture in these first few verses of 2 Corinthians 3. It forces us to think about the direction that the church has taken over the millenia since Christ appeared and makes you wonder what has gone wrong. If you want to preach the gospel in many…

Marketing Christ
(2 Corinthians 2:12-17) One of the things that bothers me is when churches, pastors and Christians in general use Jesus for the purpose of marketing to make a profit, that is, where their sole or primary purpose is to make money from the name of Jesus. Don't get me wrong here though, because it is…

Understanding the Word Of God
(2 Corinthians 1:12-14) One of the things that always concerns me is how some people make the word of God difficult to understand. Those who go through doctrinal training at bible schools and universities are often most to blame as they make the word hard to understand by using big words and difficult concepts that…
