Dear God,
I Corinthians 13
Love. Yes. This is ridiculous what he says here. I think it's more worth noting than the very famous, "Love is patient love is kind" part. He says that if you are the greatest super-Christian there is, but you don't have love, it's all worthless! I suppose conversely, if you have love, but you're not a super-christian, it's still all ok. If you have no love, you sound nothing but noise, you are nothing, you gain nothing. You give everything you have, but you don't love the people you give it to, you gain nothing. Either in spiritual blessings on earth or in heavenly blessings. That's crazy.
The biggest one for me is, "Love is not self-seeking." That's the biggest one for me to follow. I cannot kick me out of my life, so it's hard to not be self-seeking.
Love will never disappear. We will look face to face. Ahhhhh, aweee... awe.
Prophecy is better than tongues. You have to understand each other in order to be edified. That's why I want to know as many languages as possible.
In church, chaos should not reign. :-) If someone has something they want to share, they should share it, but it should be done in an orderly way. In our church, if someone wants to share, it's usually ask Mr. M to do it next week. I don't think we've ever just had someone stand up and say, "Can I say something here?"
15: 3-7 <-- best argument for the truth of the resurrection of God. Earliest stuff, only a couple decades after Christ died.
Grace is amazing. Seriously amazing. We don't have to do anything. Thanks stuff Christians like .net!
So yes, there is such a thing as resurrection from the dead. If you don't believe that, you don't believe Christ.
Whoa, Paul fought wild beasts in Ephesus. Pretty crazy!
Because we have hope of heaven and imperishable bodies one day, stand firm. Yes yes!
And with that glorious ending, I go to get ready for work.
Love,
Me
