HI All, I'm so sorry for the very late post. My mind was on the new house we got today!
1Corinthians 14, I love the opening of this chapter, follow the way of love. Did you know that your prayer language(speaking in tongues) is just between you and God. Yes God does sometimes use people to speak out loud in tongues and someone will give a message of what God wants us to hear. Why do you think that the God uses us to prophesy? Do you know what that means? Paul is developing the new church and he wants everything done in it to glorify God and help his people. Paul just breaks it all down to all. I, love how he uses things they already know about to show them how it relates to the church, praying and their lives in Christ. Vs.18-25 just read that think about it.
15: Do you believe? or just ya that's cool I believe. Paul is so on fire for God, and that Jesus died and rose again and sent the Holy Spirit. He wants to make sure that you get it. Paul was not one of the original 12. So all of this is coming to him after he meets Jesus on the road. Again Paul gives such good analogies like a seed is a seed God determines what the body will be. And there are earthly body's and heavenly body's. vs 58 sticks out to me. What in chapter 15 sticks out to you?
16: Paul gives request that they should set aside part of their money according to what each person makes. why do you think it's important to set aside something for the Lord? Even if you don't have a job what can you set aside for God? In vs 13 he says Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith: be strong. Do everything in love. Asia was sending greetings to the people. That blows my mind. This was not a 12-20 hr flight, a phone call, or via the web. This was days,weeks, and sometimes months to get to one place to the other. This was word of mouth, written on tablets or scrolls. In today's world how can we share Gods word with others?
Love you all,
Kaylene (again thanks for letting me be late)
