“Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might understand the gifts bestowed on us by God.”

It is so difficult for us to understand God out of our humanness.  We are hampered by our finite abilities and human limitations.  We should rather work at understanding ourselves as God’s creatures.  Instead of trying to define God from our humanity, let us redefine ourselves from God’s Spirit.  It is from God’s Spirit we learn the truths of life.

1 Corinthians 10:6-13

As a follow-up to last Sunday’s sermon, read this blog, "God Will Give You More Than You Can Handle," by Nicole and the responses of her readers. It shows the struggle with the idea God doesn’t give us more than we can handle.

GOD WILL GIVE YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN HANDLE

I don’t remember the first time I heard the phrase “God will never give you more than you can handle,” I just know that, at some point, it became a Christian-ism for me. I felt comforted knowing that God would never allow anything to happen that I could not “handle,” whatever that meant. I’d always be okay. Things would never be so terrible, as to crush me.

I remember quite a few years ago even writing those words to a Jewish friend of mine who was going through a difficult time. I felt like it was in the Bible. It seemed like it should be in the Bible. It sounded scripture-y. I didn’t actually check to see if it was in the Bible however. keep reading...

1 Corinthians 15:1-16

“Death has been swallowed up in victory. Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?”

In this chapter, Paul lays out his theology on the resurrection of Jesus and the resurrection of the dead. Paul is often confusing in his writing style. He can write the longest sentences of anyone I have read. But there is much in this chapter to guide us in our devotional time. Especially these words Paul quotes from Isaiah and Hosea. What a powerful faith it is that can look every threat of death (be it physical, emotional, psychological, financial, etc.) in the face and not allow it to defeat us.
