See 1 Corinthians 1:18-27

 

[MrVersatile48]

1 Corinthians 1:18-27 (New International Version)


Christ the Wisdom and Power of God

18For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

19For it is written:

"I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate."[a]

20Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

21For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.

22Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom,

23but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,

24but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

25For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength.

26Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth.

27But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.

Romans 1:18-32 (New International Version)


God's Wrath Against Mankind

18The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness,

19since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.

20For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualitiesâ€â€his eternal power and divine natureâ€â€have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.


21For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.

22Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools

23and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.

24Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.

25They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creatorâ€â€who is forever praised. Amen.

26Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.

27In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

28Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.

29They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips,

30slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless.

32Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

Here's a Catch-22 for ya:-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


My Answer: Do People No Longer Mention God at Funerals?
Billy Graham

Q: My wife and I were very disturbed over the funeral of a friend we attende recently. They talked about his hobbies and what he meant to his family and things like that, but there wasn't any mention of God or the hope of life after death. Is this the trend in memorial services today? - G.V.

A: I suspect this is much more common today than in previous generations, because over time, our society has become much more secular and materialistic. Even if someone was not a believer, his or her relatives usually wanted the person's funeral to have a religious tone.

But if someone has no belief in God or in eternity - as is true of many people today - then they only believe in this world. To put it another way, life for them consists only of this world's activities and pleasures, and they never give any thought to the fact that this life is not all there is, and someday they will enter eternity and must meet God. Like Job in the midst of his despair, they believe that "My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and they come to an end without hope" (Job 7:6).

But this life is not all there is! We were created in the image of God, and we each have an immortal soul that lives forever - either with God in heaven, or in that place of absolute despair the Bible calls hell. The Bible solemnly warns, "Man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment" (Hebrews 9:27).

When we know Christ, however, we need not fear God's judgment, for we know that Christ has already taken upon Himself the judgment we deserve. Instead, we have hope - the hope of heaven. Have you put your faith in Christ for your salvation?

Meditation 2/18 - 2/24: Ps 119:33-40 MSG

Teach me to follow your laws

God, teach me lessons for living
so I can stay the course.

Give me insight so I can do what you tell me -
my whole life one long, obedient response.

Guide me down the road of your commandments;
I love traveling this freeway!

Give me a bent for your words of wisdom,
and not for piling up loot.

Divert my eyes from toys and trinkets,
invigorate me on the pilgrim way.

Affirm your promises to me -
promises made to all who fear you.

Deflect the harsh words of my critics -
but what you say is always so good.

See how hungry I am for your counsel;
preserve my life through your righteous ways!

Psalm 119:33-40 The Message
