1 Corinthians 13

1. Describe a time when you experienced a significant period of suffering. How did you deal with that experience? How did you find comfort in the midst of suffering? At the tender age of six, I experienced a significant period of suffering. My uncle, a thirty three year old, professional wrestler passed away. Although I was extremely young, this time was exceptionally difficult for me because he played a significant role in my life and was the glue to my family. As I grew older, I dealt with my…

Information Literary & Career Research Project Introduction What is your passion? One of the greatest sayings I have ever heard is to turn your passion into your career and you will never work a day in your life. For most of us, we will miss that opportunity. For most of us, we will end up chasing after the all might dollar only to find out it’s never enough. But, for a few of us, we will dare to be different. We will dare to be our self by being the person who God and created us to be and…

in John 13:34-35, the difference should be evident not just among believer but among everyone. For the believer, looking to craft a framework for living in time of waiting, Jesus words offer a starting point, love others, following the example of Jesus’ love. The authors of the epistles admonishes believer to live holy lives, even the time of waiting for the parousia: Act as if the Lord’s day is here (Romans 13:12-14), be gracious to others by holding back on prematurely judging others (1…

Referred to as “hypnopedia,” Huxley addresses the problem of brainwashing, a problem that in today’s world is not in the lure of soma and Obstacle Golf, but in the government, religion, and media that controls the masses. Brainwashing is defined as the action of “making someone adopt radically different beliefs by using systematic and often forcible pressure”. The term "brainwashing" was coined by Edward Hunter—a CIA operative also working as a journalist. Hunter exposed that the Chinese…

1:3 DIVINE POWER: This is another key word of the epistle. It ties to 1:16 where the two major themes of the letter appear: the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Paul identifies this as "the power of his resurrection" (Philippians. 3:10). It is a power which all true believers possess which enables them, if they choose to count on it, to do "all things through Christ who strengthens" (Philippians. 4:13). Thus any failure to live a godly life is due to our weakness or folly and not to…

deeds and actions. So what if you are a professing Christian; but you are showing the world by your actions that you are living an unrighteous lifestyle? The Apostle Paul explains that consequence of living an unrighteous lifestyle in Romans 1:18. Romans 1:18 1:18 But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness. If you want to feel bad just answer the question put to us in our lesson this…

collapse if it’s not supported by Jesus Christ. If you are anything like me you have been disobedient far too many times. As for being an example to others I have often been a total and complete failure. But for the grace of God I would be doomed. 1 John 1:8-9 8 If we say that we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and refusing to accept the truth. 9 But if we confess our sins to him, he can be depended on to forgive us and to cleanse us from every wrong. And it is perfectly proper…

Does Obedience Annul God’s Grace? A standard church manual, which was written by Edward Hiscox states: “We believe the scriptures teach that the salvation of sinners is wholly of grace.” However, this doctrine is not limited to the denomination for which Mr. Hiscox wrote his church manual. Salvation by grace only is an easy religion; and a popular one; yet, even those who teach it refuse to relinquish all other doctrines; Faith, for example The most decisive way to settle a dispute is by…

the ability to think reason and remember. Above all this man’s mind is still limited. “But, as the Tanakh says, ‘No eye has seen, no ear has heard and no one’s heart has imagined all the things that God has prepared for those who love him.’ – 1 Corinthians 2:9 Even the greatest minds in the world have no comprehension of what greatness God has for his redeemed. Man’s heart, or emotion, enables him to feel, unlike a robot or machine, the human experience. His will, or volition, enables him to…
