Phileosophie

In 1 Corinthians 1:17 Paul wrote to the church in Corinth, and one of the things he said was that he was sent to preach the gospel, but " not with wisdom and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power." Later in the same chapter (1 Corinthians 1:27) he says "but God chose the foolish.. God chose the weak ..

Trying to keep up with quiet time. Today's bible reading was pretty awesome. The bible really is a guidebook to life! Romans 12:9 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.  Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervour, serving the Lord.  Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with the Lord's people who are in need.  Practice hospitality.  Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.  Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud but be willing to associate with people of low position.  Do not think you are superior.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil.  Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone.  If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.  Do not take revenge , my dear friends, but leave room for God
