Why do we keep it simple?

Why do we keep it simple?     April 26, 2013 - 1 Corinthians 1     Return to Admenu Home   Admenu’s Alternate Site           Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully begin to Feast in 1 Corinthians 1.   Do you wonder why I refer to my brothers and sisters in Jesus Saints?   “2 To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints together with all those who in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours:   3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”” 1 Corinthians 1:2-3 English Standard Version (ESV).  Because it is scriptural!  We should continue to hold our work up to the Word of God.  “29 so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. 30 And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, 31 so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”” 2 Chronicles 7:14 ESV.  I want to reach as many as I can for Jesus.  It is for that reason why I keep it simple.     The devotional from pastor Glen “KEEP IT SIMPLE” teaches us to do just that;   “…God doesn’t seek eloquent and impressive prayers. He desires the utterances of your heart. Remember he knows the position of your spiritual life and all of your needs. So talk to Him about any sin in your life. He can reach down to the deepest pit and lift you out of the miry clay that sucks at your soul. God really cares and loves you and He is the answer for any problem you have…” Pastor Glen Aycock, FRIDAY DEVOTIONAL (04262013)     1 Corinthians 1 an overview; “The Corinthian church contained some Jews, but more Gentiles, and the apostle had to contend with the superstition of the one, and the sinful conduct of the other. The peace of this church was disturbed by false teachers, who undermined the influence of the apostle. Two parties were the result; one contending earnestly for the Jewish ceremonies, the other indulging in excesses contrary to the gospel, to which they were especially led by the luxury and the sins which prevailed around them. This epistle was written to rebuke some disorderly conduct, of which the apostle had been apprized, and to give advice as to some points whereon his judgment was requested by the Corinthians. Thus the scope was twofold. 1. To apply suitable remedies to the disorders and abuses which prevailed among them. 2. To give satisfactory answers on all the points upon which his advice had been desired. The address, and Christian mildness, yet firmness, with which the apostle writes, and goes on from general truths directly to oppose the errors and evil conduct of the Corinthians, is very remarkable. He states the truth and the will of God, as to various matters, with great force of argument and animation of style.” – Matthew Henry Concise       Do you feel that Jesus is calling out to you?  If the answer is yes please click the following link;   http://www.admenu.com/calling.htm       The Feast   Sat, April 27, 2013,  1 Corinthians 1, “A salutation and thanksgiving.
