1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. -
2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. -1 Corinthians 2
God bless and happy hump day!
Beloved as I read these scriptures this morning the phrase that came to my heart was “back to the basics.”
The Apostle Paul while expressing himself went forth in an attempt to reset those who accursed him. Coming just short of hiding his tremendous gifts, he wanted the people to not consider how God had over his life prepared him for ministry, but the basic message.
That message transcends gifts, abilities, talents, life experiences and all else. Simply Christ, the propitiation for our sins, loved us received stripes for us, shed His blood and gave His life for us.
Sometimes as a Pastor somewhat educated I must go back to the basic message of the gospel because it is that base, basic message that got me saved. Beloved this return is not just a trip I must take often and by myself, but one we all should be eagerly willing to take. Let the word do the work.
God bless you and command your day!!!
