Comment 1: We live in a world when the concept of ‘truth’ is bandied about ending up with many people accepting, even if I’m not sure that they believe, that truth is what every person individually decides! To quote Francis Schaeffer that erstwhile popular ‘theologian’, as reported in Wikipedia, ‘”True truth,” a term popularized byContinue reading “A search for Truth….How would you define it?”

Mark 12: 1-12….Jesus speaks so clearly.
And he began to speak to them in parables. “A man planted a vineyard and put a fence around it and dug a pit for the winepress and built a tower, and leased it to tenants and went into another country. When the season came, he sent a servant to the tenants to get fromContinue reading “Mark 12: 1-12….Jesus speaks so clearly.”
Psalm 44: 17-26….At the end – a glimmer of hope!
17 All this has come upon us, though we have not forgotten you, and we have not been false to your covenant. – “We are not to blame, we are perfect, or least good” This is, I doubt, a statement of truth, rather it is one of excuse!18 Our heart has not turned back, norContinue reading “Psalm 44: 17-26….At the end – a glimmer of hope!”
1 Corinthians 15: 12-19….Christianity is futile without the Resurrection of the Dead
Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and yourContinue reading “1 Corinthians 15: 12-19….Christianity is futile without the Resurrection of the Dead”
1 Corinthians 15: 9-11….Who is this Paul?
For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was notContinue reading “1 Corinthians 15: 9-11….Who is this Paul?”
1 Corinthians 15:1-8….The gospel in a ‘nut-shell’
Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: thatContinue reading “1 Corinthians 15:1-8….The gospel in a ‘nut-shell’”
Ecclesiastes 6: 7-12….Would you like to rewrite this?
All the toil of man is for his mouth, yet his appetite is not satisfied. For what advantage has the wise man over the fool? And what does the poor man have who knows how to conduct himself before the living? Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the appetite: thisContinue reading “Ecclesiastes 6: 7-12….Would you like to rewrite this?”
1 Corinthians 4: 8-13….Would Paul dare to be Facetious?
Already you have all you want! Already you have become rich! Without us you have become kings! And would that you did reign, so that we might share the rule with you! For I think that God has exhibited us apostles as last of all, like men sentenced to death, because we have become aContinue reading “1 Corinthians 4: 8-13….Would Paul dare to be Facetious?”
1 Corinthians 4: 1-7….Preparation to Preach…
1 This is how one should regard us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. 2 Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful. 3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by any human court. In fact,Continue reading “1 Corinthians 4: 1-7….Preparation to Preach…”
1 Corinthians 1:26-2:5….Facts not philosophy!
For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is lowContinue reading “1 Corinthians 1:26-2:5….Facts not philosophy!”
