Power of God (I Corinthians 1:18)
I struggle to understand why Christians spend so much of our time engrossed with what unbelievers have to say about the things that are going on in our world. I’m as guilty as the next, all disturbed by other's opinions. But here’s the truth. God’s Word is the measuring stick for everything. Every single thing. And it has transforming power.
Power to change the worried soul to one of peace. Power to change the hardened heart to an available vessel. Power to cure the sin sick soul. Power to comfort the grieving. Power to rescue, restore, redeem.
It’s relevant and addresses everything from politics to purity, marriage to money management, decision making to disciplining your kids.
Why are we looking to the world to answer our questions? When we’ve been given a holy narrative, why would we look to a sinful world for our answers?
Let’s dig in. Let’s quit saying we don’t understand it, it’s too hard, it’s boring, it’s irrelevant. If you want real answers, let’s find them steeped in the truth of God’s Word.
