Praise God! Today our church is reading 1 Cor 13. How powerful!
When you love people, you’re not going to abuse, lie to, or rip them off.
We edify, encourage, and lift them up.
A Look At Love
I may speak in the languages of humans and of angels. But if I don’t have love, I am a loud gong or a clashing cymbal. I may have the gift to speak what God has revealed, and I may understand all mysteries and have all knowledge. I may even have enough faith to move mountains. But if I don’t have love, I am nothing. I may even give away all that I have and give up my body to be burned. But if I don’t have love, none of these things will help me.

Understanding The Gifts and Callings Of Yourself And Others
Sunday we’ll be exploring more about the gifts and callings of God on you and others.
1 Cor 12:4-11
There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills

Sleeping On The Train
No, he’s not deep in meditation. This guy was sleeping on the train.
Maybe better not to sleep around young folks with cameras. Especially when they’ve got those American devices that don’t make a snapping sound when you take a picture. 😉
Just because its legal doesn’t mean its good for you
1 Corinthians 10:23
All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify.
All to the Glory of God
Is there any spiritual power behind the shrines and temples of religion?
1 Corinthians 10:20
Rather, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons.
Corinthians says that when we are not committing to God. When we are acknowledging or giving offerings at a shrine or a temple, we are sacrificing to demons.

Beware of sexual sin
Sexual sinners will not be in heaven. Very strong stuff here.
“Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites,”
