1 Corinthians 2:9. But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”

10. But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

11. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.

12. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

13. These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

14. But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

15. But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.

16. For “Who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ. Read more »

Today I would like to share with you the word “Fellowship” as rendered from the Greek word in the New Testament in the KJV “Koinonia”. The word is from the Greek root word “Koinonos”, which is translated partaker five times, partner three times, fellowship one time and companion one time for a total of ten times.

The word “fellowship” (Koinonia) is used in the New Testament a total of twenty times in eighteen verses. It is often rendered fellowship, communion, communication and contribution. The word koinonia often is used as the share which one has in something or ones participation. In current vernacular, fellowship is often used as a meeting or a get together of believers even as, “hanging out with Christians”. The word is also used today as a state of being in alignment with God’s Word and His Will. Read more »

When you have done all that you can do, maybe its time to give the situation over to God. Continue to stand, don’t give up!  A lot easier said than done right? Of course, if living a life in Christ was that easy and you did not encounter opposition, where would the growth be?  What would you learn?  The need to depend on God and His strength would not be necessary if it were that easy.

What good is a test if the material was so easy, you could pass without a challenge or without having to pick up a book? A plant will encounter opposition in growing.  Soldiers endure the hardness in basic training because it will aide them in surviving to fight yet another day. The training in needed to help them endure the ever changing hostile environments and the demands placed on them in  combat. Read more »

In my earlier post “Go Saints” I was actually thinking of an analogy, something to encourage the people of God. When I was out earlier in the day, my wife told me that the New Orleans Saints were playing in the Super Bowl. I actually forgot who was in the Super Bowl because I’m not a real sports enthusiast, I’m more of the technology type.

After more than 44 years and this was the NFL teams first time in the super bowl, the New Orleans Saints. Sometimes you may wonder, when your time is, when will you see the light at the end of the tunnel, sometimes you might lose control of the (ball) situation and regain it later in the game, you may even get an interception if you don’t loose hope. Everything does not always go in the favor of the opposing team. Read more »
