Understanding Breaking Of Bread
(1 Corinthians 10:14-22) All of the things the Lord taught His disciples and requested them to pass on to the disciples they made for Him were done for a purpose. Nothing the Lord asks, did or gave to man is without reason or without purpose. One of the key things Jesus taught the disciples to…

God’s Protection
(1 Corinthians 10:13) Walking in Christ is not an easy journey. We are called to receive life into eternity, but the road to that life is filled with struggles, troubles, trials and tribulations, for that is our lot as we walk with Christ Jesus. We are warned about this many times in the Bible and…

Beware Of Arrogance
(1 Corinthians 10:6-12) This section of scripture exhorts us to learn the lessons of the past. Too often in this world we find that people do not learn from the mistakes of others, let alone their own mistakes, and so they repeat the same bad decisions and wrong behaviour over and over again. The old…

Water Baptism
(1 Corinthians 10:1-6 – Water Baptism) If we are to follow the Lord then we must do so according to the way He has defined. Jesus is the way, and we can only come to God through Jesus Christ. To do so, there are certain “rules” to understand if we are please God. All of…

Aiming For The Goal
(1 Corinthians 9:24-27) It's not blind faith. Being a Christian is not about wandering aimlessly about wondering where you are going and what's coming next. We as Christians have a specific goal we are aiming at. We have a specified path we must follow. We are being led by the Holy Spirit to the goal…

Empathy
(1 Corinthians 19-23) It is highly possible that the greatest quality of all that any person needs to exhibit to spread the gospel of the Lord, apart from faith, love and hope of course, is to show empathy towards their fellow man. The apostle Paul knew this and was perhaps one of the greatest ambassadors…

The Gospel For Free
(1 Corinthians 9:1-18) Do you like to get things for free? No cost, no charge and no payment? I know I do, especially when those things have some value, and even more when they are of great value. Well, there is no greater gift we can receive for free than to receive the knowledge of…

Walking In Love With Others
In my previous post I wrote about the issue of knowledge versus love and how knowledge puffs up but love builds up. But in spite of this issue, knowledge is essential to our growth and understanding of the ways of the Lord. In these scriptures today we see how we are to use the knowledge…

Love versus Knowledge
(1 Corinthians 8:1-3) Every so often you come up against a scripture you have to spend some time meditating upon. You mull it over and pray over it seeking the fullness of the meaning and asking the Lord to provide insight. Such was the case for me with this set of verses today. I have…

Marriage and Freedom From Law
(1 Corinthians 7:36-40) Most of this section of scripture talks about the unmarried being able to remain in control of their natural desires of a man for a woman, and it says that if they cannot be in control they should marry. But there is a principle that is snuck into the end of this…

No Anxiety
(1 Corinthians 7:32-35) As Christians we have been called to have peace. We are being trained by the Lord through the working of the Holy Spirit to be able to find peace and to hold onto it. The ways of the Lord lead to peace when we apply His teachings in our lives. When we…

Prevention Is Better Than Cure
(1 Corinthians 7:25-31) This is an interesting section of scripture for although Paul spends a significant amount of time in this whole chapter speaking about issues of marriage and those who are married or seeking to be married, in this section of scripture he is teaching a principle that extends to all parts of our…
