Our new devotional series focuses on Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians. This important letter still serves as wise guidance for our churches today, almost 2,000 years later.
Divisions in the church are just as damaging today as they were in Paul’s time. In this devotional, Paul emphasizes Christ’s centrality to the Christian faith of the Corinthians.
In this devotional, we see that salvation comes from faith in Christ and His resurrection and not from supernatural signs, which the Jews valued, or the wisdom, which the Greeks valued.
In this devotional, we learn a powerful lesson from one of Paul’s letters to the Corinthians: that we are all united as part of the temple of Christ, so none of us should boast about human leadership or argue over non-essential elements of doctrine or who is a better leader.
In this passage of Scripture, we learn to balance our freedom of choice with Paul’s reminder that our bodies are temples of Christ and that sexual immorality is an affront to Him.
This devotional debunks the popular myth that the Bible espouses male dominance and the subordinate role of women in marriage. Paul views marriage as a partnership of equals.
We continue to cover Paul’s teachings on the role of women in the church and in worship, with passages from his first letter to the Corinthians that are often misunderstood.
On Easter Sunday, I thought it would be appropriate to post chapter 13 of 1 Corinthians in its entirety. This chapter is often referred to as the “love chapter” and is easily recognized as perhaps the most popular biblical passage to be recited at weddings.
A topic that divides many Christians today is the spiritual gift of speaking in tongues. We can gain clarity on this matter by reading Paul’s views with an understanding of the context of the worshipping practices at the time in Corinth.
This passage of Scripture is filled with hope about the glorious new life and spiritual bodies God will give us in the afterlife.
Today’s devotional is the last one to focus on First Corinthians. Paul ends this letter with a lovely and hopeful declaration that we will ultimately be raised imperishable and that death will be swallowed up in our victory.
Today’s devotional is on 2 Corinthians Chapter 1 and looks at the comfort God can provide to those who suffer.
This passage of Scripture demonstrates the powerful strategy Paul used to motivate the Corinthian church —by expressing love and confidence rather than criticizing.

Our life’s journey is sharply defined by the collection of people we encounter—especially those we ultimately consider close friends, who reflect God’s love through their loyal, supportive, and enduring friendship. Unfortunately, in today’s fast-paced mobile society we often change jobs, relocate, and lose touch with those dearest to us. After more than twenty-five years of separation from my friend Warren, God brought us back together in a way that positively impacted both of our lives.
Read this story which helped heal my grief over a friend I thought had been lost in vain and also renewed my faith in a living God who performs miracles around the globe for all people.
I firmly believe that each of us brings with us into this life skills and talents that combine to create personal greatness.

It was another example of God preparing me for the impact I would have in the years ahead.
