Corinthians Study: The Qualified

"...few of you were wise in the world’s eyes or powerful or wealthy when God called you. Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful." 1 Corinthians 1:26-27 

We are equipped with everything that we need to work in the calling that God has for us. There are no excuses! I strongly urge you to read all of chapter 1 for yourself because there's so much good stuff in there! 

I'm so excited to start a study on 1&2 Corinthians for the month of April. I'll be reading a chapter per day. Corinthians addresses various topics including: jealousy, marriage, sexual immorality, spiritual gifts, and relationships. These books continue to prove themselves relevant even though they were written long ago. Happy Tuesday!

Great Expectations

"All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by his great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation, and we have a priceless inheritance—an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay." 1 Peter 1:3-4

If that doesn't make you two step, I don't know what will! An inheritance, as defined in Webster, is the passing on of possessions or genetic qualities from parent to offspring. Choosing to accept Christ makes us a child of God and a member of this beautiful family. Our life is so much greater that the small trials we experience on earth (1 Peter 1:6-7). Let's live in expectation of that great things God will continue to do for us on earth, and the magnificent things waiting for us eternally. Happy Friday!
